Human rights: Canadian bloggers sued

Posted by guest blogger:  Leslie.  Submitted as evidence of the effects of years of socialist governing.

Ever since I heard Kate McMillan, Kathy Shaidle as well as Ezra Levant and Free Dominion were being sued by Richard Warman I've been thinking about the leader of the Progressive Element, The Head, whose main minion said this:

"Why you fool, it's the educated reader who can be gulled.  All our difficulty comes with the others.  When did you meet a workman who believes the papers?  He takes it for granted that they're all propaganda and skips the leading articles.  He buys his paper for the football results and the little paragraphs about girls falling out of windows and corpses found in Mayfair flats.  He is our problem.  We have to recondition him. But the educated public, the people who read the highbrow weeklies, don't need reconditioning.  They're all right already.  They'll believe anything." (C.S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength, 1945)

The Head, you see, was a scientist who had, through careful planning, dodged the inevitability of death and survived the guillotine when his followers, The Progressives, dusted off his disembodied melon and mounted it with a connection of tubes filled with precise concoctions of life-giving fluids.  And it was from there he lead, that severed head, and to where he said the people sped.  Because you don't need reality to get an idea, um, rolling. Or up off the ground. Never mind that The Head was armless and legless.  The Progressives granted him importance, so he needed to be dealt with.

Upon reading the newspapers today, we are living out C.S. Lewis' sci-fi prophecies. Only in Canada, I'm not sure where The Head is actually housed these days.  But I see his minions everywhere. As Mark Steyn puts is:

Incidentally, if you examine the philosophical underpinnings of Canada's "human rights" "jurisprudence," you're struck by a consistent contempt not just for freedom of expression and the presumption of innocence but also for property rights: it's no surprise that a body that takes unto itself the power to regulate the content of privately owned magazines also assumes with nary a thought that it has the right to hijack its neighbours' computer systems when it needs to construct a false identity.

This is Canadian reality today: government regulation of magazine content, hijacked computer systems and false identities.

As Oz Guiness puts it, Without absolute truth there is only manipulation.

If this is news to you, please avail yourself of a special one-time only Alice the Camel Canadian Current Events Human Rights Primer.  Or ACCCEHRP for short. Read your way through and catch a glimpse of The Head's minions before they catch a glimpse of you:

Mark Steyn will get you started --  "Serial litigant and Stormfront member Richard Warman launched a blizzard of lawsuits today, against The National Post and the backbone of the northern blogosphere - Ezra Levant, Kate McMillan, Kathy Shaidle and Free Dominion."

Ezra Levant thoroughly explains -- "It’s impossible to criticize section 13 without criticizing Warman, because without Warman, section 13 would have been defunct years ago – almost no-one else in this country of 33 million people uses it."

Macleans -- Richard Warman says he's fighting hate

Free Mark Steyn -- Great stuff up there.  Keep checking it. Study up and then dig out your wallet.   Paypal buttons aplenty.

Regular people are racking up irregular legal bills simply by doing regular things.

So, you support the continued false attribution of authorship of a published, racist rant?

There are free speech cases in the courts far more important, and far more in need of your support, than that of Ezra and Kate et al.

Crookes v. Openpolitics.ca covers all the issues Kate is facing, and hits trial this October, in BC. The defendants have very little money.

Yes, well, everyone's own law suit seems most important to them, I suppose. You are living the results of decades of socialist governing in Canada. Enjoy! Meanwhile, my money's on Kate.

If you're referring to the 90sAreOver incident over on Freedomsite, this has been shown to be a case of accurate authorship.

I hope your side prevails as far as your own legal troubles are concerned, but Mr. Warman is an exceedingly dangerous serial litigant.

There has been, for several years now, a well-funded and energetic effort to present "world opinion" as being critical of the foreign policy of the U.S. Maybe the answer lies there...maybe we could swivel the harsh spotlight of this "world opinion" a few degrees north, onto this whole free speech issue.

[Leslie]

You're right Morgan, it's pretty ugly stuff and unfortunately, stuff that's not confined to Canada. A harsh spotlight may be just the thing...

Leslie,

Thanks for bringing us south-of-the-border types up to date on the Warman shenanigans... I'm amazed at the silence of the Religious Leftist blogs and discussion sites on this issue... then again... no I'm not...

[Leslie]

Religious lefty blogs or plain old lefty blogs in Canada would presume these right wing bloggers deserve what they get. It's not in the media much either (aside from the odd article in right wing magazines) so there's a good chance they don't know.

Vote Republican.

Don't you think you should finish getting everything wrong about your own country before branching out?

[Rick]

Yawn apparently come from this idjit who opines:

One cannot excuse him, therefore, on the grounds of ignorance, as one might in the case of American commentators who tend to get a lot wrong when they're dealing with Canadian topics.

This is precious given where it is that Leslie and those she links to in this post come from.

And the nincompoopyhead wants to call us Americans ignorant.

Sigh.

Too many idiots, so little time.

[Rick]

He's now changed the link without confessing to it in his original post... just the comments, a place where likely most wouldn't go...

Typical.

[Leslie]

Actually I'm kinda impressed Dawg is complaining about my writing. He hasn't bothered with the likes of Alice the Camel before...

[Rick]

Well... succumbing to the sheer weight of my intellect... heh... he's now modified the original post...

Ahh... victory...
