Can a song be a Crime?<\/a><\/span>
\nThe persecution of British singer and satirist Alison Chabloz for some of her holocaust-skeptical songs \u00a0makes a mockery of British free speech rights. The private prosecution, launched by Gideon Falter of the well-heeled anti-free speech group, the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism, took an alarming turn on Friday. On one day’s notice, Alison was summoned for a hearing to restrict her activities whilst on bail. “<\/span><\/h2>\n

” The judge told her she is not allowed to tweet or blog about her prosecutor Gideon Falter. That was unfair, her lawyer objected, because he had been tweeting about her \u2013 overruled. Nor \u2013 here was the punch line \u2013 was she allowed to do anything \u2018racist\u2019 or \u2018anti-semitic\u2019 or \u2018grossly offensive:\u2019 if she does she will be locked up until her trial, next March. These are incredibly vague and undefined terms. But, I suspect Mr Falter is not going to find this trial the pushover which he has expected.”<\/span><\/h3>\n


\n<\/span>It is appalling that merely offending privileged group’s feelings can land a singer in court. As in Canada, with victims like Brad Love and Terry Tremaine, the vile system uses bail or parole conditions to gag a dissident even BEFORE a trial. Here the talented Miss Chabloz faces months in jail is she does anything “racist” or “anti-semitic” or “grossly offensive.” The message is clear: Shut up! What is “racist”? If you express pride in being a homosexual or being a Negro, that’s fine; if you are proud of your European heritage, you’re a “racist” And what is “grossly offensive”? It’s all in the yes of the beholder and minorities, especially Jews, have become adept at being easily offended.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Another similarity with Canada is that Miss Chabloz is not permitted to tweet or blog about her tormenter Gideon Falter. Apparently, he can agress against people but the victims cannot comment or mention him. Exactly, the same thing happened to Canadian free speech victim Arthur Topham who is not allowed to mention Richard Warman or Harry Abrams who sought to shut him down and filed complaints which led to the Sec. 319 (“hate law” charges) against him. Oh, yes, neither bothered to show up at Mr. Topham’s trial to see the mischief they had caused.<\/span>

Friday, 23rd December: Marylebone Magistrate\u2019s Court.<\/h3>\n

Alison Chablez has been suddenly called back from Manchester with only one days notice, because the Prosecution wishes to redefine the terms of her bail. A week earlier, she had turned up, for a rather strange indeed unheard-of type of prosecution. A Campaign Against Anti-Semitism had decided a song of hers violated Section 127 of the 2003 Communications Act, and was \u2018grossly offensive.\u2019<\/h3>\n

In Britain today, can you be prosecuted because someone reckons your behavior is offensive?* No-one seemed to be providing evidence of anyone having been offended \u2013 we merely had the word of \u00a0Jonathan Goldberg QC,\u00a0prosecution barrister (who had three attorneys sitting behind him for some sort of moral backup). Mr Gideon Falter, chair of CAAS evidently reckons so. Normally it is the business of the CPS the Crown Prosecution Service to bring such charges, but Mr Falter reckoned they were being rather dilatory in prosecuting anti-semitism and he is speeding up the process by taking out this private prosecution.<\/h3>\n

The distinguished British philosopher and tenor sax player Gilad Atzman turned up to give Ms Chablez some moral support, and I felt his presence was quite significant. Let\u2019s hope he blogs about it. The best feature of this hearing was Ms Chablez\u2019 marvellous lawyer Adrian Davies, let\u2019s hope he is still defending her in March.\u00a0\"Chablez\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

Can a song be a crime? \u00a0The dire charges<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 anti-semitism, racism Holo-denial \u2013 have effectively ended her career as a folk musician. Tell me about it. The doors do clang shut once Gods\u2019s Chosen People reckon you don\u2019t believe in their Holo-narrative. You thereby come to understand, like never before, who controls our world.<\/h3>\n

Let\u2019s have\u00a0a quote from her\u00a0<\/a>about her prosecution:<\/h3>\n
\n

Thursday December 15, I shall be appearing in court for the first time in my life charged with causing gross offence after posting my song\u00a0(((Survivors)))<\/a>\u00a0on YouTube. What makes this case special is the fact that I am not being prosecuted by the Crown; it is a private prosecution taken on by chairman of the wealthy Zionist \u2018charity\u2019, Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA), Gideon Falter, who \u2013 in order to persuade the judge that publishing my song merits a heavy fine \u2013 will have to prove that my song is grossly offensive.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I should here confess: after her inspiring performance at a packed\u00a0London Forum,<\/a>\u00a0\u2019Songs of the Shoah\u2019 she did\u00a0allude to my book<\/a>.\u00a0 She has been described as \u2018the pin-up girl of Stormfront.\u2019<\/h3>\n

You might want to check out here Alison\u2019s\u00a0rather sensible views<\/a>\u00a0on the obscure Havaara agreement, and how Red Ken\u2019s politicial career was suddenly over because of his comments upon the matter.<\/h3>\n

Coming back to the bail trial, the judge told her she is not allowed to tweet or blog about her prosecutor Gideon Falter. That was unfair, her lawyer objected, because he had been tweeting about her \u2013 overruled. Nor \u2013 here was the punch line \u2013 was she allowed to do anything \u2018racist\u2019 or \u2018anti-semitic\u2019 or \u2018grossly offensive:\u2019 if she does she will be locked up until her trial, next March. These are incredibly vague and undefined terms. But, I suspect Mr Falter is not going to find this trial the pushover which he has expected.<\/h3>\n

I had been hoping to sell my book together with her new CD. My publisher had agreed, but now she reckons she might just be locked up if she did anything like that.<\/h3>\n

It is clear that the Communications Act of 2003 was designed to regulate commercial broadcasting, in relation to the OFCOM inspectorate \u2013 not for private individuals.\"Chabloz2\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

It is vital that the great British tradition of satire \u2013 from Hogarth to Private Eye \u2013 is defended. One is permitted to scoff at people, especially rich, influential people \u2013 it is not a crime.<\/h3>\n

There is a lot at stake here. While talking to a former member of the British punk-rock band \u2018Crass,\u2019 he played me a bit of the ghastly racket they used to make, and I heard the dire lyrics. The Crown tried to prosecute them under the Blasphemy Act \u2013 but gave up. That is an important precedent. It\u2019s called freedom of expression. I personally object to Jews insisting that everyone else has to believe their fictional, fabricated, fake narrative about what did not happen in the German labor camps of WW2; and salute Alison Chabloz for pointing out, in humorous songs \u2013 that IT DIDN\u2019T HAPPEN.<\/h3>\n

NO Mr Falter, it\u2019s a fictional story. And, by the way Mr Falter, you have no drop of semitic blood in you. But, your country\u00a0is exterminating<\/em>\u00a0the semites, and stealing their land. It\u2019s called genocide.<\/h3>\n

\"Muad-Dib\"<\/a><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

* \u201c\u00a0This is what happens, when this group are upset by something. They assume they have the right not to be offended, as they obviously so easily are.\u00a0<\/i>It\u2019s almost impossible to be part of their mind-virus unless you have been programmed into it\u2026\u201d\u00a0Mark windows.<\/a><\/p>\n
