Christian Football Player Denounced by Stampeders for Objecting to First Openly Homosexual NFL Player

 

The fanatical establishment hatred of Christianity has claimed another victim — actually several victims. A Calgary Stampeders wide receiver who objected to the hiring by the NFL of an open homosexual has been fined and denounced by his own team. Other players who criticized this past weekend’s selection by the St. Louis Rams of homosexual Michael Sam (complete with a hug and kiss from his White lover) have also been fined and one has been sent to a Soviet-style “re-education” camp.

 

CAFE has warned that the homosexual agenda which now seems triumphant in Canada and the U.S. will severely restrict freedom of religion and freedom of speech. If you’re not a fan of buggery, you’d better shut up.

CBC News (May 13, 2014) reported: “Calgary Stampeders receiver Maurice Price has been fined an undisclosed amount by the CFL for inappropriate comments about the NFL’s St. Louis Rams draft pick, Michael Sam. ‘The CFL will not tolerate discrimination of any kind,” said CFL commissioner Mark Cohon. ‘Whether it’s race, religion or sexual preference, our values are of acceptance and equality. We fully support openly gay athletes in our league, and in the sports community in general.’” Well, that’s not quite true, Mr. Cohon. You are quite ready to silence and persecute players who proclaim their Christian faith. So much for inclusiveness and tolerance. Believing Christians seem to be neither ‘accepted’ nor tolerated under your regime!

The CBC report continued: “Calgary Stampeders’ Maurice Price now faces a fine after ‘inappropriate negative comments on social media’ towards St. Louis Rams defensive end Michael Sam and openly gay professional athletes.” There’s that vacuous politically correct term of condemnation “inappropriate.” Cohon should have been honest and admitted Price is being punished because he is a professed Christian.

The story continued: “Sam is the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team.’My faith won’t let me accept what took place over the weekend. Sorry, not sorry! #AdamAndEve #NotAdamAndAdam,’ tweeted Price. 

‘And it’s highly disturbing that under the current constitution individuals have been fined for verbalizing their thoughts.'” Indeed it is! Homosexuals are the new privileged minority du jour. People who might object to publish flaunting of homosexuality, whether for personal or religious reasons, had better keep their mouths shut in the new grim politically correct order. Price is a Negro but this status is trumped by homosexuality in the hierarchy of minority privilege.

His own team rudely hurled Price under the bus and firmly solidified its pro-homosexual, anti-Christian credentials: "The Stampeders also condemned the tweets, saying the team was outraged by the offensive comments. 'The comments are repugnant and in no way reflect the organization’s views or values,' the team tweeted Monday. Price, an African-American athlete who was born in Orlando, Fla., has played the last two seasons in Calgary." Of course, Price never said he was speaking for anyone but himself.

However, Price isn't the only victim of the triumphant homosexual agenda: "There have been other disciplinary actions relating to Sam:

•The CFL fined Montreal Alouettes wide receiver Arland Bruce in February for urging Sam on social media to "submit fully to God."

•Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive tackle Bryant Turner Jr. was fined for a tweet saying "Michael Sam locker-room gonna come with complimentary robes."

•In the NFL, Miami Dolphins safety Don Jones was fined an undisclosed amount and will undergo educational training after he tweeted "OMG" and "Horrible" shortly after Sam's name was announced Saturday. The tweets were taken down a short time later.

Jones apologized for his comments and described them as inappropriate. The Dolphins said Jones has been excused from all team activities until he completes training related to his comments.

Former Mississippi basketball player Marshall Henderson also tweeted that he did not agree with ESPN's coverage of Sam at the draft and was going to boycott SportsCentre until the network stopped running the footage."

"Educational retraining?" It sounds like Maoist re-education and indoctrination -- all for expressing a politically incorrect thought. And this latter atrocity in the supposed "land of the free."

Fromm & Whatcott Visit Political Prisoner Brad Love

Fromm & Whatcott Visit Political Prisoner Brad Love
 
 
Photo: Fromm & Whatcott Visit Political Prisoner Brad Love

LINDSAY, Ontario, May 15, 2014. Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, and free speech warrior and opponent of the homosexual agenda Bill  Whatcott visited Canadian political prisoner Brad Love today at the Central East Correctional Centre here in the Kawartha Lakes region of Southern Ontario.

Beforee entering to visit Mr. Love, who is scheduled to be released on June 15, Mr.. Fromm and Whatcott had to leave their keys, coins,, wallets, jackets and cellphones in a locker. Although they could only see Mr. Love through thick Plexiglas, neither visitor was allowed to bring pen or paper. These insane rules seem designed to discourage visitors and further isolate the prisoner.

"The real Canada is not the country the newspapers tell their readers about," Mr. Love told his visitors. Free speech is fine, they say, if you speak your mind in the Ukraine. Look at the favourable publicity for all those protests in the Ukraine. But not here. If you criticize immigration or Jewish groups, they give you the Brad Love treatment," he explained.

Mr. Whatcott reported to his supporters:

"The last few days have been interesting and busy. Paul Fromm of the Canadian Association for Free Expression asked me to speak at his Alternative Forum and pretty much gave me unmitigated freedom to say what I wanted to say. Paul also offered to take me to the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay, Ont, to see Brad Love for myself. Indeed when I first heard of Brad Love’s story I was highly skeptical as we are supposed to be living in a Parliamentary democracy after all (with a few problems for sure) and I thought to myself there is no way someone could be in jail for writing letters and expressing views. Surely the guy wrote a death threat or something.

Here is the Central East Correctional Centre where Brad Love is being held for his crime of letter writing. Paul Fromm and I went to visit him.

Well actually Brad Love is in jail for expressing views by writing letters to various elected representatives, the Chief of Police for York Region and a couple Jewish lobby groups. While Brad's letters could be perceived as offensive to some, perhaps even to me, they were completely devoid of threats of violence, blackmail, libel or any other thing that one could expect to fall into the jurisdiction of a criminal offense. Brad’s letters were rants about immigration and Zionism. 

Now for certain not all of Brad’s views are my cup of tea, but that really isn't the point. Brad Love is in jail for views and only views. His prison sentence is not insignificant either. Brad Love was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his first batch of letters after being convicted under Canada's so-called "hate" law and then he was given another 18 months (the maximum sentence possible) in prison for probation violation after writing another letter. Unlike other offenders who commit crimes like rape or robbery Brad is not allowed to write any letters while in jail. He is not allowed to write friends, family or even his lawyer. 

Image
As you can see in the background the Central East Correctional Centre is a maximum security facility. Canada’s notorious letter writer languishes in there, unable to do any productive work. He is allowed into the yard for 20 minutes of fresh air a day.

007Free Speech Supporters Condemn Anti-Christian Bigotry of the Law Society of Upper Canada

 



​ ​

TORONTO. May 16, 2014. About 30 protesters held a noon-time vigil outside the Law Society of Upper Canada in downtown Toronto today. An eclectic group of Christian spokesmen and free speech supporters joined by the Canadian Association for Free Expression denounced a recent decision by the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) to not recognize graduates of the planned Trinity Western University Law School because of their fundamentalist Christian principles.

Trinity Western University is an evangelical Christian college in Langley, BC. It requires faculty and students to pledge to follow traditional Christian morality including refraining from sex outside of marriage. Critics say this pledge discriminates against homosexuals. No one is required to attend Trinity Western University. There is a wide variety of secular alternatives.

The proselytizers of the homosexual agenda who have led a campaign, first to deny graduates of this university the right to teach in B.C.(eventually overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada) and then to deny the planned law school legal accreditation (the move failed) now have pressured provincial law societies in to declare that graduates of the law school will not be granted accreditation. So far, the anti-Christian campaign has succeeded in Nova Scotia and Ontario.

One of the protest leaders Rev. David Lynn, founder of Christian Positive Space (www.christianpositivespace.com) said much of Ontario’s curriculum is “biblephobic.” He noted that well over 70 per cent of Canada is Christian. “We say to the Law Society of Upper Canada: ‘You have to be more tolerant. You are saying Christians do not have the right to practise law in Ontario,. You are anti-Canadian.”

Gary McHale, an activist who led protests against the failure by the Ontario Provincial Police to enforce court injunctions against radical Indians who occupied and still occupy private (now Crown) land in Caledonia, Ontario, noted there was an effort to ban graduates of Trinity Western from teaching in British Columbia. “The case went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada and they ruled that religious views should not exclude a person from the classroom. Now, the Law Society of Upper Canada wants to exclude Christians from the practise of law.”


The story of Mr. McHale’s battle against politically correct policing — soft on native thugs occupying land in defiance of an injunction, and harsh on White resident merely driving through their own community or trying to counter-protest the occupation — has just been published by Freedom Press (www.freedompress.ca). It is entitled Victory In the No-Go Zone: Winning the Fight Against Two-Tier Policing.

A contingent from FreedomPress, led by President Tristan Emmanuel, also attended the protest.

Bill Whatcott spoke of his campaign to keep radical homosexual material — including discussions of anal sex — excluded from elementary school in Saskatchewan. His leafleting led to human rights complaints, a conviction and a $17,5000 fine. He fought this all the way to the Supreme Court which overturned the Saskatchewan Court of Appeals reversing Mr. Whatcott’s conviction. The Supreme Court , “and shame on them,” Mr. Whatcott said, upheld anti-Christian speech censorship and ruled that truth, intent, sincerely held religious beliefs or political opinions were irrelevant. “It was determined that making statements like this is hate. They acknowledged that although my flyers might be factual, if used for a hateful purpose — and they weren’t — advocating traditional Christian views on sexual behaviour could be censored. I have been left with over $100,000 in legal costs” payable to the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission.

Paul Fromm Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression, called the Law Society of Upper Canada “Christian haters.”

“The issue here,” he said, “is the decision by the Law Society of Upper Canada to not allow graduates of the planned Trinity Western University Law School to practise in the Province of Ontario. The ironic thing is that Trinity Western has not even opened its law school yet and hasn’t graduated a single student. That is the definition of bigotry — to make a decision before the facts are in. The LSUC is very much under the control of the homosexual lobby. The privileges of homosexual trump the rights of Christians. It’s wrong. And we’re standing here for free speech.”

Political Prisoner Brad Love to Be Freed, June 15 — Still Not Allowed to Send Mail From Prison

Political Prisoner Brad Love to Be Freed, June 15 — Still Not Allowed to Send Mail From Prison
LINDSAY, Ontario. Political prisoner Brad Love, who has drawn repeated sentences for writing letters to MPs, police chiefs, the media and Jewish groups — none of them threatening, all of them opinionated — will be freed on parole, June 15. He will have spent 11 years in and out of prison, mostly for parole violations (writing more letters). At one point his parole conditions had been expanded by now retired Ontario Judge Hogg so that he was not allowed to write to “any person.” That was in Canada with its hollow Charter of “Rights”, not North Korea.
 
Still the persecution of this opinionated populist working guy and letter writer — 10,000 in over 20 years — contnues in prison.Despite appeals to the Ombudsman, the prison authorities continue to confiscate Mr. Love’s outgoing mail. They tell him it will be in his property when he is released. The Kawartha Lakes Police, who seem to instruct the prison authorities, seem incapable of reading or following court documents. They still maintain that he is under a bail condition, going back to charges last May in Fort McMurray where he was initially banned from “communicating by mail, e-mail or text to any person.” Using material prepared by CAFE, Mr. Love went back to court in July and had these Stalinist conditions amended so that he was only banned from communicating with several media persons and politicians who were the instigators of a “harassment” charge.

 

 

 

 
 
Nevertheless, Mr. Love was charged last fall with “breach of undertaking” (bail conditions) for, incredibly, writing to his own lawyer! After several Court appearances and the production of the Fort McMurray Court transcripts, an Ontario court dismissed the charges on February 5. But the police harassment continues. Mr. Love comments: “I have never seen cops look through bail transcripts for something to get you on. Crime and drugs are everywhere, but these losers worry about a writer who doesn’t even live in this shit hole Third World province!”
 
In another form of harassment, the prison authorities go through his incoming mail with a fine tooth comb. He was recently advised that they were detaining an envelope of newspaper clippings from supporters in Winnipeg. The reason — “too much paper”!
 
Even worse, Mr. Love reports, “My brother visited me in March and was not let in. He sent me $200 by mail and it was returned to him.
Mr. Love’s own lawyer told him “your case receives more police and judicial scrutiny than bank robbery cases.” But, then, that’s not surprising. Political prisoners are always treated more harshly. They are seen as a real threat. Bank robbers just steal money, drug pushers just sell drugs and the State doesn’t get its cut, but people with political ideas might actually change people’s opinions and lead to real change.
On June 15, Mr. Love will walk free but he will not really be free. The judicial Beast will continue to gag him. On July 12, 2012, Judge Kelly Write imposed the following Stalinist gag order: “”Mr.  Love is to refrain from any political speech or commentary to any media outlet, political, cultural or religious group or organization, or police organization, except with the express written permission of a political or religious organization that welcomes him as a member or associate and with the permission of his probation officer.”

Political prisoner Brad Love, who has drawn repeated sentences for writing letters to MPs, police chiefs, the media and Jewish groups -- none of them threatening, all of them opinionated -- will be freed on parole, June 15. He will have spent 11 years in and out of prison, mostly for parole violations (writing more letters). At one point his parole conditions had been expanded by now retired Ontario Judge Hogg so that he was not allowed to write to "any person." That was in Canada with its hollow Charter of "Rights", not North Korea.

Still the persecution of this opinionated populist working guy and letter writer -- 10,000 in over 20 years -- contnues in prison.Despite appeals to the Ombudsman, the prison authorities continue to confiscate Mr. Love's outgoing mail. They tell him it will be in his property when he is released. The Kawartha Lakes Police, who seem to instruct the prison authorities, seem incapable of reading or following court documents. They still maintain that he is under a bail condition, going back to charges last May in Fort McMurray where he was initially banned from "communicating by mail, e-mail or text to any person." Using material prepared by CAFE, Mr. Love went back to court in July and had these Stalinist conditions amended so that he was only banned from communicating with several media persons and politicians who were the instigators of a "harassment" charge.

Nevertheless, Mr. Love was charged last fall with "breach of undertaking" (bail conditions) for, incredibly, writing to his own lawyer! After several Court appearances and the production of the Fort McMurray Court transcripts, an Ontario court dismissed the charges on February 5. But the police harassment continues. Mr. Love comments: "I have never seen cops look through bail transcripts for something to get you on. Crime and drugs are everywhere, but these losers worry about a writer who doesn't even live in this shit hole Third World province!"

In another form of harassment, the prison authorities go through his incoming mail with a fine tooth comb. He was recently advised that they were detaining an envelope of newspaper clippings from supporters in Winnipeg. The reason -- "too much paper"!

Even worse, Mr. Love reports, "My brother visited me in March and was not let in. He sent me $200 by mail and it was returned to him.

Mr. Love's own lawyer told him "your case receives more police and judicial scrutiny than bank robbery cases." But, then, that's not surprising. Political prisoners are always treated more harshly. They are seen as a real threat. Bank robbers just steal money, drug pushers just sell drugs and the State doesn't get its cut, but people with political ideas might actually change people's opinions and lead to real change.

On June 15, Mr. Love will walk free but he will not really be free. The judicial Beast will continue to gag him. On July 12, 2012, Judge Kelly Write imposed the following Stalinist gag order: ""Mr.  Love is to refrain from any political speech or commentary to any media outlet, political, cultural or religious group or organization, or police organization, except with the express written permission of a political or religious organization that welcomes him as a member or associate and with the permission of his probation officer."

Happiness

 

Happiness may seem a strange topic for me to raise in my report to you. However, on January 27, I was standing in the lobby of the Courthouse in St. John, waiting for John Hughes, lawyer for the McCorkill Estate, and CAFÉ’s lawyer Andy Lodge. The hearing  in regards to  efforts by powerful forces to hijack the McCorkill will’s bequest to the National Alliance as “contrary to public policy” was over and the decision in the hands of the judge. We were in the middle of a media scrum. With me was former teacher Malcolm Ross and his brother. I saw the lawyers for the four parties seeking to overturn the will walk by.

 

I wondered whether they were happy. I wondered this because beside me stood a man who deep down is serene and happy. Twenty years ago, Malcolm Ross was removed from the classroom in Moncton because of his political and religious views published in books, booklets and letter-to-the-editor on his own time. A “human rights” (they do not include free speech) tribunal had ruled that Mr. Ross’s very presence, as a conservative, anti-Zionist Christian, created a “poisoned” environment. The person complaining against him was the daughter of a prominent Atlantic Jew. She claimed some students had made anti-Semitic comments to her. Now, she did not attend the school where Malcolm Ross taught. He had not taught her. She had never met him, Nor had he taught the students who allegedly made comments to her. 

 

Neither reason nor common sense mattered.  Mr. Ross had poisoned the environment and he was out. The case, argued by Doug Christie, went all the way to the Supreme Court. The Supremos even back then were hard core Christian haters. Sure, they agreed, Mr. Ross had the right to his religious views, just not the right to express them and hope to keep his job. The same nine Cultural Marxists would, a decade or so later, dream up the obligation of “reasonable accommodation.”  If some Sikh wants to pack his dagger to go to school, despite a zero weapons policy, we must make reasonable accommodations for his peculiarities. But, in this environment of inclusiveness and “reasonable accommodation” there was no room for a Malcolm Ross. All the while, Mr. Ross was reviled in a host of news stories and was even the object of semi-obscene cartoons that mocked his Christian faith.

 

So, Malcolm Ross, with a young family, was out of a job. It would be understandable if he were bitter or angry. But, he picked himself up, did other work and persevered. His deep Christian faith and belief that what he had written was true and right make him a serene and happy man. Not jumping up and down happy as a person who has just scored a big win in a lottery might be, but profoundly secure and happy.

 

I too felt elated that what CAFÉ had done with our very costly intervention and the powerful factum (brief) and presentation of our lawyer Andy Lodge would have a good effect. We had come to preserve a man’s right to pass on his estate to a group whose views might be unpopular or politically incorrect. I wondered how the lawyers on the other side felt. On one level, happy, I suppose because they could pocket fat fees from their well-funded backers. But how could they feel about trying to hijack a will and replace a man’s wishes with the politically correct whims of the moment?

 

The Year Ahead

 

We are already deep into the McCorkill case. This case MUST be won or meddlers and troublemakers may try to hijack a bequest to any group. We have made a strong case and await the judge’s decision.

 

I was asked to testify last September at the Warman v Mark and Connie Fournier libel trial. It went dreadfully wrong. The Fourniers and two other bloggers lost and were hit with a judgement of $143,000, which included hefty costs to pay Richard Warman’s legal bills. They are appealing. Canadian libel law is so loosey goosy that a website owner can be made liable for comments posted by anonymous writers on the site. Another libel case involving the Fourniers is now in progress. Marc Lemire reports: “Defamation law in Canada is a glaring example of the archaic state of our laws. This week in an Ottawa courtroom, two Internet bloggers – who both use pseudonyms – are going to state their case before a judge.  In one corner is the defendant, an inveterate blogger who uses the pseudonym Peter O’Donnell (AKA Roger Smith) who is being sued for saying that another pseudonym “Dr Dawg” (AKA John Baglow) is “one of the Taliban’s more vocal supporters”.  And caught in the middle are Mark and Connie Fournier who ran a message board called FreeDominion, where one alias apparently defamed another alias in a back and forth message thread.” CAFÉ is beginning to lobby for changes to this law.

 

CAFÉ continues to publicize Brad Love’s 11-year ordeal and efforts to continue to gag him. I have had articles published in a number of papers about his plight. Canada continues to back and publicize Terry Tremaine’s 10 year battle against Sec. 13 “human rights” (Internet censorship) and Sec. 319 (“hate law”) charges. The Sec. 319 charges were stayed in 2012, thanks to Doug Christie’s heroic efforts. On May 28/29, the last episode in his case will be his appeal against his sentence in a “contempt of court” charge brought against him, as were all the others, by Richard Warman.

 

And, of course, there is Arthur Topham. As of March 13, he faces a full blown trial on “hate charges” for comments, some of them satirical, on his website Radicalpress.com. He is also threatened with horrific bail conditions, including having to shut down his Radicalpress.com website and to post NOTHING on the Internet. CAFÉ will be helping and advising him at the hearing date, April 9 in Quesnel, British Columbia. The date for the trial has not yet been set.

 

One of our biggest challenges is to alert more people to the free speech cause – to turn them on to freedom and to make them aware of the very real threats to free speech and free thought in Canada. We have already held meetings in five provinces – New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and B.C. this year. Our publicly advertised meeting in St. John attracted a number of new people to the cause.

 

We are proud of the CAFÉ website that we were able to construct because of your generosity – http://cafe.nfshost.com.

 

 

Your Support Pledge

 

And the well deserved praise “generosity”  brings  me to my request that you continue to support CAFÉ. None, and I mean none, of this activity is possible without the resources, without your financial support. We had initially budgeted $10,000 for the McCorkill will intervention. The costs have ballooned and now top $30,000. Many years ago, when I was much younger, a pompous old man wagged a finger at me and pronounced: “If it’s about freedom, it should be free.” What a fool!

 

Those seeking to crush free speech spend large sums of their money and the public money to pursue their goal. Similarly, defending freedom has serious costs – people’s energy, people’s time, people’s courage and, yes, the funding to make the activities possible.

 

I know, as in the past, I can count on your support and generosity. Please use the enclosed coupon and post paid envelope.

 

For freedom,

Huge Victory for Free Speech in Topham Case: Judge Refuses Crown’s Demand that Bail Require Shutdown of Radicalpress.com

Huge Victory for Free Speech in Topham Case: Judge Refuses Crown’s Demand that Bail Require Shutdown of Radicalpress.com
 
It is a sign of how degraded a country we have become  that we must hail the fact that a British Columbia Criminal Court judge refused demands by the Crown to impose as a bail condition in new “hate law” charges against publisher and blogger Arthur Topham that he remove ALL content from his website Radicalpress.com and that he not post on ANY website.
 
In other words, before any trial as to whether the contents of a small portion of Radicalpress.com constituted “wilful promotion of hate” under Canada’s notorious “hate law”, Mr. Topham was to be gagged.
 
The case for new bail conditions was argued in Quesnel, British Columbia on April 9.
 
  • Crown Counsel Jennifer Johnston acted as if it had already been established that some of the contents on Radicalpress.com, including a satire of the book Germany Must Perish, was “hate” and that some of Mr. Topham’s recent writings are also “hate”. Her say so was enough to make it so, in her submissions. She said: “There is strong evidence that Mr. Topham continues to promote hatred of people of Jewish origin, in such articles as Salute to Zionism, on his website. The Crown is asking for bail to prevent Mr. Topham from continuing to publish ‘hate’ and compound the same offence while on bail. ” Then, with totally muddled reasoning, she continued: “The mere possibility that Mr. Topham might be successful with one of the defences is not enough to continue to publish ‘hate.'” But, clearly, if the defence were successful, the publications would not be hate. Even she admitted that only a small portion of Radicalpress.com dealt with Jews or Zionism. “There’s other stuff going on there, yes.”
 
As a precedent, she cited the judgment in the “hate law” case against Bill Noble, who was self represented. He was sentenced to six months in jail for Internet postings and a three year gag preventing him from posting on the Internet or owning a computer or any device like a smart phone capable to accessing the Internet. This pretty piece of Stalinism was imposed, not in North Korea or Cuba, but in Canada.
 
Mr. Topham, although self represented, marched into court with a masterful submission  which had been prepared for him and a three-inch thick Book of Authorities.

Mr. Topham's Memorandum argued that penalties were being imposed before an finding of fault. "Even if the order sought was capable of suppressing hate propaganda, it would not be justifiable in this case as it would not minimally impair the Respondent's Charter rights. The conditions sought by the Crown would not merely prohibit the Respondent from publishing hateful material, but would, in fact, prevent him from publishing any material."

A comment Judge Morgan made offered a clue to his decision: "Where the dividing line is between free speech and the limits on speech in society is the crux of this case."

Here are the key paragraphs of the decision refusing to impose a gag order bail condition on the beleaguered Quesnel publisher.

Decision:

[32] Considerations of bail in section 319(2) prosecutions (willfully promoting hatred) are somewhat different from the usual criminal prosecutions. This is because the central issue at trial will not be what occurred , but will be what effect resulted. The publicly communicated statements will have to be established by the Crown to promote ‘hatred’ as the word is defined in Canadian jurisprudence.

[33] The primary remedy sought by the Crown if successful at trial will be to prevent Mr. Topham (and thereby perhaps others) from posting hate promoted material. The Crown is, in effect, seeking the same remedy pre-trial through a cease and desist bail order. To be successful the court would have to be satisfied that on the test of a balance of probabilities all aspects of Crown’s case will be made out, including that the effect of the communications of concern will meet the threshold of promoting hatred. In effect, the court is being asked to decide the case on the balance of probability standard.

[34] On the other hand, it is an initially forceful consideration when dealing with material that is clearly repugnant and offensive, to ask what harm would result by simply shutting it down until the matter can be decided at trial. One can easily imagine situations where the material is so repugnant and offensive that even solely from the judge’s perspective and without direct evidence of harm, the likely risk of harm will be evident and outweigh a temporary curtailment of Charter rights.

[35] However, court ordered prior restraint on a person’s s. 2(b) Charter right to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, has the risk of being overbroad and should be granted only in clear cases.

[36] In the case before me, the material of concern is primarily material written by others and allegedly posted by Mr. Topham on his website. The one document I was referred to that involved a minor amount of originality is entitled ‘Israel Must Perish’ and is based on a document written many years ago by someone else entitled ‘Germany Must Perish’. In ‘Israel Must Perish’ the accused is alleged to have replaced all references to ‘Germany’ with ‘Israel’ and all references to ‘Germans’ with ‘Jews’. Mr. Topham has published both versions on his website. Mr. Topham says – and is not contradicted by the Crown – that all of the material of concern is available on other internet sites not controlled by him, including notable sites such as Amazon.com and Archive.org.

[37] There is some evidence that Mr. Topham uses his website to publish other materials that are not alleged to foster hate, and to use it for other reasons, such as providing a voice to other fringe persons or groups. As of late, he has been using his website in an attempt to raise money to pay for a lawyer to defend him against the present charges.

[38] Although I give Crown credit for being open to finding ways to minimally impair Mr. Topham’s rights while at the same time addressing the concern of the publication of the offensive material, I find that in this case, ordering Mr. Topham to shut down his website may well be an over broad prior restraint and that, based on the evidence before me, the effect on reducing any harm caused may well be minimal given the material is primarily not original and is available from other internet sources.

[39] I agree with Ms. Johnston that ordering Mr. Topham to remove from his website any reference to people of Jewish religion or ethnic origin would be like having him pick out pepper. What I foresee from this is any effort to carve a fine balance would very possibly lead to breach related charges arising from confusion and misinterpretation.

[40] The Crown’s goal of stopping Mr. Topham from putting on his website offensive material will of course depend on whether Crown is successful at trial in establishing the offensive material has the effect of promoting hate. If the Crown proves its case, the sentencing judge will be in a much informed position in determining the appropriate breadth of restraint orders and other sanctions.

[41] Although I decline to order as a condition of bail that Mr. Topham stop operating his entire website or to order that he cease and desist from posting any materials referencing people of the Jewish religion or ethnic origin, I am satisfied that his Undertaking should be amended to include a condition that he not post on any internet site or otherwise publish the names of the two civilian complainants already referred to in condition 2. of his present Undertaking, and that he immediately remove their names from any internet site he has direct or indirect control of . I find that there may be a risk of harm or intimidation in posting the names of these civilian complainants.

R.D. Morgan

Provincial Court Judge

This final condition is odd and one which Mr. Topham may appeal. Under his original bail conditions, he is already not allowed to contact or communicate (except through his lawyer) with the two chronic complainants. Thus, he is not to publish the names of Richard Warman or Harry Abrams on Radicalpress.com or "any internet site he has direct or indirect control of . I find that there may be a risk of harm or intimidation in posting the names of these civilian complainants." 

Both these men are long-time antagonists of Mr. Topham. They are players and have repeatedly sought to silence people with whom they disagree or who, in their view, have hateful ideas. Why shouldn't they be named? Allowing for semi secret complaints would seem to undermine the openness of our legal system. Abrams was the original complainant in the case against Radicalpress.com in 2007 under the now repealed Sec. 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act. When the case was adjourned sine die  in 2009 and it appeared that the section was about to be repealed by Parliament, Abrams was joined by Warman in 2011 in making complaints to the B.C. "Hate" Squad under Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code.

No evidence was submitted to the Court of any "harm or intimidation" that had been done to the complainants as a result of their names being mentioned on Radicalpress.com over the seven year life of the efforts to gag the anti-Zionist dissident.

Mr. Topham notes: " I've had to file another application to question the new condition that says I can't have either Warman's or Abrams' name on my website. That would eliminate all the legal documents with their names on them. Rather weird. I can see removing the names from my own articles, commentary, etc. but not court documents."

Pro Homosexual Computer Techie Denies Service to Bill Whatcott

Pro Homosexual Computer Techie Denies Service to Bill Whatcott

Let’s be quite clear about this: the homosexual lobby is among the most powerful in Canada. Egged on by the Christian hating Cultural Marxists on the Supreme Court who last year squelched anti-homosexual activist Bill Whatcott’s right to testify to traditional Christian views about same sex marriage, supporters of the otherly sexed now seem to have declared open seaosn on traditional Christians.


Mr. Whatcott reports: “My computer crashed at the worst possible time, right before the convention when I need it for so many things…..

Anyways, I headed straight to my usual spot Southeastern Computer Solutions (see picture above) for service; I have patronized them exclusively for 2 years now for my personal needs and I did much there for Weyburn Pro-life as well. Unknown to me, the owner Aaron Rubin was very unhappy with Weyburn Pro-Life’s decision to bring Peter LaBarbera into Weyburn to speak and he took great issue with the fact that I believe homosexuality is a sin.

When I brought my computer to the counter for the technician to look at it, Mr. Rubin came out, looked at me with an unfriendly look and loudly announced “I am pro-gay.” I asked him “what does that have to do with my computer problemcomputer problem?” Well for him plenty I guess, he told me he did not want to do business with either me or Weyburn Pro-Life anymore. As I started to leave, it appeared Aaron wanted to argue about my perceived bigotry. I got quite mad and told him I cared for many homosexuals dying of diseases related to their sexual behaviour and never denied them service, as he was doing to me. We then argued about acceptable denial of services. Aaron (and me for that matter) believed he had a legal right to deny me service for my computer problemcomputer problem. On the other hand Aaron really believes Christians should be forced under the pain of law to violate their consciences and allow homosexuals into their private bed and breakfasts to spend the night sodomizing each other.”

CAFE believes all human rights commissions should be abolished. They are costly anti-Majority mischief makers.

Except in essential services, Canadians businesses, we believe, should be able to discriminate.

However, we note that, while it is open season on Bible believing Christians, under “human rights” laws, Christian businessmen are forced to serve people whose beliefs and practices are abhorrent to them. More than a decade ago, Ontario printer Scott Brockie refused to print material for a homosexual lobby group. He offered to refer them to another printer. But, in high dudgeon they pranced off to the Ontario Human Rights Commission which ruled that the Christian printer was not entitled to his religious views and had to print for the otherly sexed. This was appealed to the Ontario Court of Appeal which came down four square against Christians and hammered Mr. Brockie with a penalty and costs adding up to $40,000. Canada’s Christian-hating judiciary has made practising Christianity a very costly matter.

LifeSiteNews (April 15, 2004) reported: “TORONTO, April 15, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Christian printer Scott Brockie was fined $5,000.00 in 1999 by the Ontario Human Rights Commission because he refused to print blank letterhead and envelopes for the Canadian Lesbian and Gay Archives. Brockie had printed materials for clients with homosexual inclinations, but would not print materials for the Archives because he believed the Archives further homosexual activity, which is contrary to his religious beliefs. The adjudicator claimed that Brockie was free to express his beliefs in his home or Christian community, but ordered him to provide printing servicesprinting services “to lesbians and gays and to organizations in existence for their benefit.” The Court of Appeal recently handed down their decision regarding the awarding of costs from Brockie’s time in the Divisional Court. Brockie was initially awarded $25,000 in costs from the Divisional Court, but the Human Rights Commission and the Archives appealed, and the Court of Appeal has reversed that earlier decision and now Brockie is on the hook for $40,000. “There is a point beyond which the conduct of judicial officers will bring the administration of justice into disrepute,” Catholic Civil Rights League spokesperson Sean Murphy said. “That point is passed when a Christian printer is ordered to produce business cards andbusiness cards and letterhead for an organization that promotes pro-paedophilia essays, is fined $5,000.00 for having refused to do so, and is left with $40,000.00 in legal bills for daring to defend himself.”

Whatcott (and others) under attack, needs prayers

by Bill Whatcott » Wed Apr 09, 2014 3:07 am

Dear Friends

Today was a tough day. First of all my computer crashed at the worst possible time, right before the convention when I need it for so many things…..

Anyways, I headed straight to my usual spot Southeastern Computer Solutions (see picture above) for service; I have patronized them exclusively for 2 years now for my personal needs and I did much there for Weyburn Pro-life as well. Unknown to me, the owner Aaron Rubin was very unhappy with Weyburn Pro-Life’s decision to bring Peter LaBarbera into Weyburn to speak and he took great issue with the fact that I believe homosexuality is a sin.

When I brought my computer to the counter for the technician to look at it, Mr. Rubin came out, looked at me with an unfriendly look and loudly announced “I am pro-gay.” I asked him “what does that have to do with my computer problemcomputer problem?” Well for him plenty I guess, he told me he did not want to do business with either me or Weyburn Pro-Life anymore. As I started to leave, it appeared Aaron wanted to argue about my perceived bigotry. I got quite mad and told him I cared for many homosexuals dying of diseases related to their sexual behaviour and never denied them service, as he was doing to me. We then argued about acceptable denial of services. Aaron (and me for that matter) believed he had a legal right to deny me service for my computer problem. On the other hand Aaron really believes Christians should be forced under the pain of law to violate their consciences and allow homosexuals into their private bed and breakfasts to spend the night sodomizing each other.

Aaron’s reasoning was I had no business worrying about what homosexuals do with each other in my private bed and breakfast, but I guess he believes he has the right to worry about my moral and political opinions if one of his technicians is going to work on my computer. As I left, the guy then accused me of being too cowardly to debate him and proclaimed he did more for Canada fighting for freedom in Afghanistan than I ever did in my life standing for my causes. Oh well…….

If you would like to minister to Aaron Rubin and encourage him to be more tolerant of Christians who hold to God’s Word when it comes to how they dealdeal with homosexuality, you can contact him here:

While I felt bad being denied service at a place I was use to going to, of course I wasn’t going to change my stand on that which I know to be true. Even if one is hated and rejected for standing on God’s word on an important issue, such as homosexuality, that doesn’t mean one backs off from standing for God, especially not to winwin the approval of man.

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
Mark 8:34, 35

Not too long ago one could call homosexuality a sin and speak on the issue in a public forum in Saskatchewan, with little fear of retribution. Today that is no longer the case. The media hysterically attacks public figures who dare to say anything negative about the homosexual lifestyle. The courts and human rights commissions use the power of the state to punish Christians and use coercion to force them to violate their consciences, if they refuse services that facilitate the sin or speak too forcefully in public on the issue. And yes, now it is possible to even face ridicule and rejection by those who you might think are your friends and acquaintances, as not only tolerance, but the demand for complete acceptance of homosexuality, is becoming a mainstream value.

Still God’s Word and empirical truth that homosexuality is wrong remains unchanged:

Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
Romans 1:26-28

Homosexuality does harm children and those of us who are pro-life have a moral obligation to stand with the children, even if it means incurring personal cost to ourselves:


Renn Forsberg is a little boy, but his mother (who is a homosexual activist with public affiliations with numerous homosexual groups) is leading a public campaign to have the boy she adopted legally declared a girl. The picture above was on her Facebook homepageFacebook homepage last week. Sadly, but not surprisingly, no one with power or influence is critically examining the claims made by the homosexual activist mother that Renn always wanted to dress and act like a girl. To my amazement I have even met Christians who are buying into the lie that boys and girls could be the opposite gender from the one God gave them at conception……

“False prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” Matthew 24:24

Anyways, in addition to being discriminated against by our now former computer shop, the Leader Post also called me and rejected Weyburn Pro-Life’s full page ad. You might ask what could be so bad about our ad, that a newspaper would turn down $5,500, rather than run it?

Well nothing really, other than we are advertising speakers the newspaper disagrees with. The Leader Post is a tireless champion of homosexual causes after all. Here is our rejected ad:

After that news, a good friend of mine posted on my site and alerted me to another Michael Coren segment where he is bashing our speaker Peter LaBarbera and my self. Michael Coren seems to also believe he is capable of reading our hearts and minds as to why we have chosen to take our public stands on abortion and homosexuality:

The side of the house reads “Love thy neighbour, regardless of their creed, nationality and sexuality.”

On the way home I saw this above house. There is no denying the “Weyburn Against Intolerance” group is full of energy and they are quite bold in their efforts to marginalize us. I also noted on our local radio stations the coverage shifted from even handed where both of us got an equal opportunity to express our positions, to now the coverage is heavily slanted to favour the “Weyburn Against Intolerance” side and indeed their spokespeople are the only ones being interviewed now on our local radio.

Anyways, rather than get overly discouraged we should prayerfully carry on. We might as well admit we are weak and not able to fully counter the constant attacks on us by a hostile media and homosexual lobby. It is tough to counter the constantly repeated lies that homosexuals are “born that way” and notwithstanding that Christians are the ones who suffer violence, bullying and discrimination for not accepting the sin of homosexuality, it is nearly impossible to expose the homosexual agenda’s utter lack of tolerance towards dissent and the fact that homosexual activists are anything but “live and let live.” We pro-lifers are weak and the truth is most in the body of Christ are not standing. Therefore in our weakness we must go to the One who is strong:


Mary Stachowicz murdered by a homosexual for calling on him to repent of his sin

He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2 Corinthians 12:9

No, I can’t winwin the media battle and indeed it is conceivable the new Weyburn homosexual lobby group will prevail over the hearts and minds of most people in this culture war.

Still we can stand and speak the truth, secure in the knowledge that our Lord will give us the final victory:

I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gatesgates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
Matthew 16:18

To this end, I am developing my own little media.


Here is my new book and my very first customer, holding an autographed copy of “Born in a Graveyard.”

If anyone in Regina is interested, I would like to distribute 10,000 flyers advertising my new book and a photocopy of the ad the Leaderpost refused to run, with an explanation of the censorship. I have no doubt my book is an excellent tool to help folks understand how Canadians are frogs in the water and our freedom of concience, speech and religion are rapidly being boiled away.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.

Mark and Connie FournierDay 2 of the Baglow v. Smith & Fourniers Defamation Hearing

Baglow testifies and hearing delayed due to medical problems

 
March 25, 2014 OTTAWA:  Today is the second day of the pseudonymous defamation trial of “Dr Dawg” vs “Peter O’Donnell”.  For background on the case and my comments on the first day, see my blog posting here: http://blog.freedomsite.org/2014/03/day-1-of-baglow-v-smith-fourniers.html
 

For the entire day, “Dr Dawg” a.k.a. John Baglow gave testimony about his defamation lawsuit and introduced documents that form the case he is presenting to the court.  The hearing today was significantly shorted due to an apparent medical situation which effected one of the main parties. After the morning break, one of the court staff made a comment about the health (high blood pressure / stroke potential?) of one of the main parties.  While the person insisted he was fine and could proceed with the case, the court staff seemed to react that the medical situation needed to be addressed immediately.  After a short confab with the lawyers and self-represented parties, it was ordered that the trial should stop immediately and could reconvene after a 2+ hour break at 2:00pm.  On the bright side for the affected party, I am a former medic and would intervene if I saw the individual go down. J

Day 2 – “Dr Dawg” Testifies – In-Chief.
 
The day started off with Peter Burnet calling his witness to the stand “Dr. Dawg”.
 

The Fourniers, Connie & Mark, Battling for the Rights of Bulletin Board Hosts
 
In a brief series of questions, Burnet asked “Dr Dawg” to give some biographical information.  “Dr Dawg” is 67 years old and lives in Ottawa.  He attended several Universities in Canada and in Scotland and has a BA and Masters in Literature.  For years “Dr Dawg” was employed by the Social Sciences and Research Council as a grant officer.  While working at SSRC, “Dr Dawg” became interested in labour issues and was elected to a position with the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) where he was a vice-president until 2003.  In 2003 “Dr Dawg” went into a consulting business called ‘First Write”.
 
Dr Dawg” describes himself as “a man of the left” and in his youth was a member of the NDP Youth wing.  After that, he “gravitated towards the Communist Party and was a member until the Czechoslovakian invasion”, when he left the party and rejoined the NDP.  He is a card carrying member of the NDP, with the exception of a couple of years when he was upset with the party and “ripped up his NDP membership card”.
 
The Blogosphere is made up of “millions of blogs … maybe hundreds of millions of postings”.  On his own blog called “Dawgs Blawg” he receives “up to one thousand unique visits a day”.  “Comments are not moderated on my blog and go directly up”.  “I chose not to moderate my blog” but on occasions has had to ban “up to 30 people” for postings he finds offensive.  On his website “I use Site Meter to track visitors.  I can see new and returning visitors.  I can see the IP Address”.
 
“In 2005 I decided to set up a blog about left wing issues and perspectives”. And as part of that he has “three co-bloggers on the site”, though the number of co-bloggers has fluctuated over time.  He named the site “Dawgs Blawg; because I like dogs and didn’t want to take it that seriously.  It is a cartoonish name”.
 
“I welcome comments from people with different and divergent opinions”, which includes “Dr Dawgs” own lawyer – Peter Burnet who admitted to being a poster on the Dawg’s Blawg website.
 
“I really enjoy the cut and thrust of debate” says “Dr Dawg”, and over the years has been officially served twice with defamation for his blog.  The first case apparently involved a mistaken name on an article he wrote.  “Dr Dawg” was served with a libel notice, and ended up removing the post and publishing a retraction.
 
The second defamation complaint came from Ezra Levant, who served a libel notice for comments made surrounding a law society complaint where it was claimed to have been upheld by the law society.  “Dr Dawg” removed some of the comments and apologized to Levant.  “Dr Dawg” claims that “Levants lawyers then apparently wanted to remove other allegedly defamatory material which I did not comply with or remove”.  Levant did not follow up on the lawsuit after that point.
 
In regards to the website FreeDominion, “Dr Dawg” describes them as “radically conservative and pretty extreme.  Use of the ‘N’ word.  Muslim bashing, homophobia and an unpleasant place”.  The website “champions the rights of white nationalists, holocaust deniers, neo-nazis, white supremacists, homophobes and supports the right to unrestrained hate in society”.  Over the years “Dr Dawg” posted “once or twice on FreeDominion”.
 
In terms of speech restrictions, “Dr Dawg” says that “I strongly supported Section 13 and was sad to see it go”.  That is a reference to Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, Canada’s internet censorship legislation, which was repealed by the government last year (See more on Section 13 @ http://www.stopsection13.com)
 
Dr Dawg” talked about a posting entitled ‘Freedom of Speech’ which I think was a posting on the FreeDominion message board.  In his testimony “Dr Dawg” made some sort of reference to a “technical relationship” between Connie Fournier and myself.  I did not understand his testimony on this point or what was meant by “technical relationship”.  I believe it has something to do with computers, and perhaps an affidavit from a computer expert which was introduced in my Section 13 hearing (Bernard Klatt).   Perhaps we’ll know more on this point during the cross-examination tomorrow.
 
In reference to Connie Fournier, one of the owner/admins of the FreeDominion website, “Dr Dawg” posted a few times that she was the “FreeDominatrix”.  He was sorry and “sometimes I can’t help myself being uncivil to the uncivilized” and was “mocking her for a hyper-aggressive posture”.  “There is a hostility between the Fourniers and myself”.
 

Traitor = Not Defamatory.  Vocal Supporter of Taliban = Defamation

Dr Dawgs” testimony then centered on why he did not sue Roger Smith for calling him a traitor on Dawgs Blawg, but did sue over the Taliban comments.  This gets a bit convoluted for me, since “Dr Dawg” was going very fast, and I just managed to write down smaller points of what he said.  But basically the “traitor” comment written by “Peter O’Donnell” was “incoherent” and that “the comment self-destructs” due to its context.
 
The statement about “Dr Dawg” being a more vocal supporter of the Taliban “was a long and rambling post about a different topic” and when the post mentions “Dr Dawg”, “there was no context to the statement” which made it defamatory.  “Dr Dawg” took the comments on the Taliban to be similar to calling him “an enemy agent”.
 
From there “Dr Dawg” moved on and discussed some posting he had made on the Internet where he was critical of the Taliban and called them “an odious bunch of people” that are a “murderous band of thugs” and their “cult of religious insanity”.  While “Dr Dawg” had been critical of the Taliban, he was opposed to Canada’s intervention in the war in Afghanistan for a variety of reasons which included that the Taliban was originally supported by the US government in their war against the Soviets.  “I don’t support another foreign intervention, when multiple foreign interventions are what originally caused the problems in the region”.
 
After that “Dr Dawg” moved on to some other commentary, where apparently a prominent member of Canada’s B’nai Brith (Harry Abrams) referred to him as being Anti-Semitic for his comments on the State of Israel. “Dr Dawg” stated that he is “quite critical of Israeli treatment of Palestinians and Bedouin’s” and in terms of “Israeli Apartheid” he says that “it is unfair to label Israel as an Apartheid state, but there are some apartheid like elements in the Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and Bedouins”.
 
The day came to a close with a series of questions by Burnet on the context of the Blogosphere.  “Dr Dawg” testified that “context is important” and that “the political blogosphere could be characterized as polemical”.  But “we should not allow plain falsehood.  And the internet does not make it ok to lie online”.
 
Stay tuned for the cross-examination tomorrow of “Dr Dawg”.

Reining in Australian Anti-Free Speech Laws; Jewish Lobby Howls

Reining in Australian Anti-Free Speech Laws; Jewish Lobby Howls
 
Good news from Down Under. The Liberal Party — well, actually, they are conservatives — Government of Tony Abbott proposes to amend Australia’s anti-free speech “hate laws.” Ideally, there should be no restrictions in expressing political opinions.. Only direct incitement to violence or lawlessness on ANY basis should be prohibited.

Good news from Down Under. The Liberal Party -- well, actually, they are conservatives -- Government of Tony Abbott proposes to amend Australia's anti-free speech "hate laws." Ideally, there should be no restrictions in expressing political opinions.. Only direct incitement to violence or lawlessness on ANY basis should be prohibited.

Nevertheless, the proposed changes are a small step in the right direction. Needless to say, the Jewish thought control lobby is in full howl. Maybe an increasingly aware population will begin to notice just who it is who seeks to interfere with free debate and open expression.

Israel's Haaretz reports on the unhappiness of their co-religionist censors in Australia: "Jewish community leaders in Australia are on a collision course with the federal government over its proposed new race hate laws, which could complicate litigation against Holocaust deniers and anti-Semites.
The Liberal government on Tuesday unveiled a draft of its proposed legislation to replace race hate laws that have existed for almost 20 years and have been used successfully by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.

Under the proposed changes to the Racial Discrimination Act, it would no longer be illegal to “offend, insult or humiliate” an Australian because of their race or ethnicity. It would, however, be illegal to vilify or intimidate someone based on their race or ethnicity.

Defending the draft legislation in parliament on Tuesday, Prime Minister Tony Abbott said: “What the government are proposing to do is to maintain the red light on inciting racial hatred, but we are removing the amber light on free speech.”

Jewish groups are fuming over the proposed changes. Robert Goot, president of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, said the draft law was “deeply flawed” and “rips up key protections” to ethnic groups in Australia.

“This legislation gives the green light to unleashing racial hate speech in Australia, no matter how unreasonable and lacking in good faith,” he said.

Dr. Colin Rubenstein, of the Australia/Israel & Jewish Affairs Council, concurred. The proposed amendment “removes any protection against public insults and humiliation on the grounds of race,” he said.

“To pass the amendments as they stand would risk emboldening racists, threatening the quality of life of ethnic minorities in Australia and seriously straining the fabric of our social cohesion and harmony.”

The showdown has been brewing since the government’s pre-election pledge last year to repeal race hate laws in a bid to protect freedom of speech. It has become the only major fault line between Jewish leaders and the government, which is unapologetically supportive of Israel. ...

Attorney-General George Brandis, who has consulted with Jewish community leaders on his proposed amendments, said in parliament this week that Australians had “a right to be bigots.”

His comments were met by a chorus of condemnation from a diverse array of ethnic community representatives.

“I have always said that freedom of speech and the need to protect people from racial vilification are not inconsistent objectives,” he said. “Laws which are designed to prohibit racial vilification should not be used as a vehicle to attack legitimate freedoms of speech.”
