TAREK FATAH: THE OIC DOES NOT SPEAK FOR MUSLIMS

A great Canadian, Tarek Fatah, recently traveled to Geneva and gave what-for to the Islamists attempting to infect the UN Human Rights Commission.

"I approach the issue of freedom of speech and freedom of expression embodied in the 1948 UN Declaration of Universal Human Rights as defending a treasured right that few of my co-religionists can dream off, let alone cherish or possess."
. . .
"To suggest that any criticism of Islamism, the political ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood and the Iranian Ayatollahs, is anti-Islamic is a bogus and fraudulent position. I would contend that my religion Islam demands that I stand up to these bullies and take away from their
right to put padlocks on poetry and chastity belts on independent thinking."
I was fortunate to attend his address in Port Hope late last week. Tarek has a charming wit, lives his life in the ambience of joy, and is a great soldier of the Eternal Vigilence Force.

NEIL BISSOONDATH HAS FREE SPEECH: DO YOU?

Click on image to enlarge
Canadian author, Neil Bissoondath, was utterly Canadian as he displayed his FREE SPEECH card. Mr Bissoondath, was blind-sided by an agent from the Creative Intelligence Anarchy, who had bought a copy of Bissoondath's book as enticement to obtain his right fore-fingerprint. This was followed by a request to participate in a propaganda campaign: I HAVE FREE SPEECH. It is an act of cultural appropriation, and cultural assertion. Please drop into the I HAVE FREE SPEECH blog to see the individuals added as we go.

STANDING UP FOR SALMAN RUSHDIE

A 'MS GUIDED' VIEW OF POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

A bit of a blast from the past. The unrelenting farce of political correctmess makes me feel like a broken levee outside New Orleans. I took care in writing this letter to avoid identifying the gender of my child, but this did not stop the presumption of the enraged responder. Enjoy.

CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S A MURDERER

The Cobourg Daily Star, Sept 9, published an editorial entitled, "Oh, the male of the species." The editorial was a response to an earlier letter I had written that had been published in the same newspaper. Local feminists are into fund raising to have a monument placed into the central park there. The monument is there to commemorate the women who had been murdered in Montreal many years back by Marc Lepine.

The editorial writer, Grahame Woods, is a retired mental-health counsellor and Gemini-winning television playwright. He wrote, "Marc Lepine very much represents men who, throughout history, up until this so-called modern day, have brutalized, raped, killed, battered, imposed upon, and, generally, dehumanized women as if it were their god-given right and..."

Of course I replied with the following letter. The red text was deleted by the Cobourg Daily Star before it was published today:

Section 13.(1) of the Human Rights Act declares that “It is a discriminatory practice for a person ... to communicate ... any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination

Grahame Woods' screed displays all the characteristics of exposing men to contempt. He does not qualify any of his assertions with modifiers such as “many men” “a few men” “a significant portion of men” or such like. His assertion is that the mentally deranged murderer, Marc Lepine, represents men as an identifiable group, and produces a litany which depicts that men as an identifiable group are murderers, rapists, brutal savages throughout history.

Yep, the feminist doctor just delivered a baby boy and handed it to the mother saying, “Congratulations! It’s a murderer.”

But let us look at another litany, one that is a counterpoint to the dreary “boys and their toys” accusation of feminist peaceniks who portray women as natural born nurturers. This litany refers only to the present age.

It was under former prime minister of India Indira Gandhi's rule that India had a bloody shoot‑up with Pakistan in 1971. It was under her tutelage that India constructed and exploded a nuclear device.

It was under former prime minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto's rule that Pakistan continued to lob artillery shells into India. It was under her tutelage that Pakistan continued its program to develop nuclear weapons.

It was under former prime minister of Israel Golda Meir's rule that Israel went to war with the Arab countries in 1973 on Yom Kippur. It was under her tutelage that Israel continued its construction of nuclear weapons.

It was under former prime minister Margaret Thatcher's rule that Britain went to war with Argentina in 1982. It was under her tutelage that Britain modernized its nuclear forces and invited U.S. nuclear weapons to sit on British soil.

It was under former Chinese leader Mao Zedong's rule that his wife, Jiang Qing, former leader of the Gang of Four, directed the Cultural Revolution, which caused countless deaths and degradation for millions throughout China.


War and preparations for war (a.k.a. defence) is firmly rooted in the maintenance and/or extension of power. Power is genderless. The capacity for evil, as for goodness, belongs equally to both men and women.

The problem with power extends to women in the home. An extensive study, Homicides of Children and Youth, is a publication of the U.S. Dept of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, reveals that 75 percent of children under age 6 are killed by women. The study also determined that child-killing women are hands-on killers – women are more likely than men to use their hands and feet as weapons to kill children (54 percent versus 22 percent). A 1988 study (Silverman and Kennedy) highlighted the fact that young, unmarried females are more likely to commit infanticide by suffocation or strangulation whereas older married females beat them to death.

Mr Woods ends his hateful screed with the following, “The shame is that most men, from the beginning of time, have remained and continue to remain silent, turning a blind eye, accepting, rarely speaking out against other males' abhorrent behaviour.”

The exact same applies to the dominant killers of children: women. And let us not forget that children are the most vulnerable and innocent of victims anywhere and at all times throughout human history.

It may come as astonishing news to Mr Woods, but malevolence exists in equal proportions in both genders, and it manifests itself in an unlimited number of ways – each of them as hurtful as the other. I believe in equality; I neither favour nor disfavour men over women, nor do I favour nor disfavour women over men.

NOW MAGAZINE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN DIVERSITY

Click on image to enlarge
Well, I have to give credit for NOW magazine for publishing my response to Ms Susan Cole's venal column of the previous week. However, the credit has to be clawed back for the deletions removed from the letter. It seems that the magazine that likes to consider itself as edgey, is actually a scared little kitty kat. Below is the letter as I had sent it. I have bolded/reddened the text that was deleted. Not only do they delete, they deliberately distorted: note how they changed the word "recommending" to "reprimanding." Why, my goodness, NOW magazine has become as silly as the defunct Ontario Censorshit Board in days of yore.
=========================

I am deeply impressed with Susan Cole’s hope that Yankee voters not lay off pregnant 17-year-old Bristol Palin, and to flog her “front and centre as an attack on anti-sex-education platforms.” It demonstrates quite clearly that Ms Cole will stoop to exploit an underage pregnant girl to further a political point. Ms Cole is an exemplary “progressive” role model for all feminists in this regard.

I have always been pro-choice. I have always supported officially-approved sex education, including abstinence as one of many options, so that young people can come to experience the joy of official pleasure with their official orgasms, but Ms Cole’s [Her] snake-belly abuse of an underage teen disgusts me.

I hear the Comedian Human Rights Commission, is flogging a pro-diversity policy concerning sex-education in our schools. They're recommending girls who cry out "Oh God! Oh God!" when having their official orgasms, should once in a while cry out "Oh Allah! Oh Allah!", to celebrate multiculturalism. Surely this is something Ms Cole could wrap her mouth around and moan the rainbow about.

Oh, excuse me, I hear the CHRC knocking at my door.

CHRC PROSCRIBES COMING FOR GOD

The Comedian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) yesterday found Ms Kare Reege guilty of discriminatory behaviour for crying out “Oh God! Oh God!” when she orgasms, thereby offending her Muslim neighbours to such an extent that it has upset the delicate demographic balance of the neighbourhood and caused detrimental effect on housing prices.

The CHRC agreed with the complainant, Imam El-Moh Sayitall, a neighbour of Ms Reege, who charged that the constant cries of “Oh God” had offended Muslim families in the neighbourhood, causing two to move out of the area in recent months. Mr Sayitall, a realtor in his real time, has been unable to resell the abandoned homes to his client-base because of the loud discriminatory behaviour of Ms Reege.


“The respondent has been crying out the name of the Christian deity more often than calls to prayer from a nearby mosque. This vociferous and extravagant expression of orgasmic pleasure has driven two Muslim families to move from the neighbourhood and detrimentally affected the livelihood of the complainant. The respondent had been requested to accommodate to the sensitivities of the Muslim community but declined to seek a balance, asserting that her right to freedom of religion permitted her to cry out her Lord’s name from the rooftops. This may have been acceptable in earlier days when communities were homogenous and sparse, but today’s conditions call for harmonization as a prerequisite for social peace,” said the CHRC report.

Ms Reege argued that she and her same-sex spouse, Ms Suzan Scolde, an avid supporter of the free-wheeling Dykes On Bikes entourage, had been living in the community for over 20 years and never had a problem with neighbours until late last year when Mr Sayitall presented a petition signed by several neighbours complaining about the “discriminatory and invasive-audio act, which had the effect of drowning out the name of Allah so beloved by 1.7 billion Muslims in the world.”

The CHRC requires Ms Reege to attend a 30 day skin-thinning course and to accommodate to the religious sensitivities of her neighbours by crying out “Oh Allah!” as well as “Oh God!" in direct proportion to the religious demographics of the neighbourhood.

Mr Sayitall asserted that this was a reasonable accommodation, “After all, it isn’t like we are requesting she cry out the entire mantra of 'Allahu Akbar' every other breath when she comes. We are sensitive to the needs of her crusader religion. The CHRC is not taking anything away from her -- just requiring she add a new element to her orgasmic repertoire.”

“I have been living in the neighbourhood for five years. Everyone was okay with her weekend orgasms, but early last year, it became a daily occurrence, and happened more often than our mosque’s daily calls to prayer. She was especially vociferous on Fridays; every Friday morning the calls to her Christian God emanated from her back patio. Although the back patio is secluded by tall thick cedars, they don’t filter the wild calls to her God,” explained Mr Sayitall

Ms Susan Scold said she was home when a group of Muslim women approached their home dressed in black hijabs. “They were like a coven of medieval scarecrows from a Shakespearian tragedy. They demanded we restrain our Christian calls pleasure to the times inbetween their five required daily prayers. I told them that they should not interfere with our sexual spontaneity. Love is not a scheduled event. We fuck when we feel.

“For God’s sake, they presented me with a broken dildo they claimed had been thrown onto their lawn. I had thrown that dildo into the garbage because it was faulty. It was the new Crucifuckion model that I had used when reciting selected Songs of Solomon. What right do they have to rummage through my Christian garbage?"

Ms Reege & Ms Scolde both retired last year from their community service jobs, which provided them with more time to express their pent-up love and desires. "Our retirement years should be protected, not circumspected," added Ms Reege

Local Rabbi, Frankie D. Mantell, said, "The Jewish community would never expect goy gals to cry out 'O Yahweh!' when they come. We believe in diversity, but not imposed diversity. That is why we declined the CHRC’s request to provide a demographic figure of Jews living in the Reege neighbourhood. For heaven’s sake, some of our princesses have been known to cry out ‘Yippie Yahweh’ on the Sabbath. It’s highly embarrassing but should not be a concern of government bureaucraps.

No Buddhists were found residing within the six block perimeter of the offending Reege household, so the CHRC made no requirement that Ms Reege cry out a proportional Oh Buddha.

Wally Keeler, author of the First Interim Report On the Causes & Manifestations of Divergent Think Procedure of the First Ten Years of the History of the Peoples Republic of Poetry, said that the Creative Intelligence Anarchy of the imagine nation has recently set up Call-of-the-Wild community courses for those who want to separate their orgasmic vocabulary from religion.

Mr Keeler explained that “Orgasm is primal. It is closer to field beasts than to what’s it’s name, God, Allah, or whatever. The Call-of-the-Wild program trains individuals to get in touch with their organic origins by mimicking the come-cries of various animals. We do not discriminate amongst animals. We do not prefer one beast’s come-cry over another. Whatever feels most natural and pleasurable at the moment is all that is required.”

We have found that women working in the arts sector are inclined towards tiger calls, but there is a growing trend among older women for cougar cries. The imagine nation of the Peoples Republic of Poetry has always advocated that Free Speech, Free Screech, Free Expression is best when released into the wild, rather than confined to the pathetic zoo recommended by government agencies. Poetry is Poetency is our e pluribus unum.”

MEDIOCRITY MAFIA IS STILL HERE

Teen with rainbow hair faces 'punishment' Sept 4/08 By Rhiannon Meyers / Galveston County Daily News GALVESTON, Texas — Stifled by a standardized dress code, April Barton said she chose to express herself by coloring her hair pink, green, blue, purple and yellow.

April Barton, said Ball High [School] administrators told her to lose her colorful hairstyle or face punishment. Her friend, Vanessa Sliter, has dyed her hair to get rid of the fuchsia streaks. But administrators at Ball High School in Galveston think her rainbow-striped hair is too distracting and therefore a nuisance, Barton said.

DO NOT ABORT

IT'S OFFICIAL: NEWSPEAK IS NOSPEAK

Click on image to enlarge
Once upon a time there was a country. This country embodied the liberating force of freedom of speech and expression, which brought to the people of that country for well over a 100 years all the strengths of democracy.

In that country there is a Human Rot Commission. One of the top investigators of that Human Rot Commission testified at the Human Rot Triburinal that “Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don’t give it any value.”

STRIKE ONE: Free speech takes a hit.

The Human Rot Commissars utilized the full farce of Newspeak as Nospeak to obfuscate what it meant, saying that “Mr Steacy did not testify that the Commission gives no value to freedom of expression because it is an American concept…what Mr Steacy said, was that the Commission distinguishes between American notions of ‘freedom of speech’ and the different Canadian value of ‘freedom of expression.’”

Did you get that?

It’s official.

GOOD MORNING, MR DIMANT

Whatever else, poetry is freedom.”
--------------------- Irving Layton

Canada’s greatest poet, Irving Layton, grew up in the hardscrabble area of Montreal where Jews had to battle for their rightful place. Irving Layton was not a whiner – he was a fighter. He learned from experience, street experience. He advised me that survival required two punches to the face for every one punch received. Good advice.

He stood up for himself, and by doing so, he stood up for me and for you and for Canada, and by extension, for everyone on this planet who believed in the primacy of the individual over groupism and tribalism, of freedom of speech over muffled speech. He stood up for himself. He would never have countenanced a government agency standing up on his behalf. He would have rightly regarded that as a weakening of his own survival skills.

Irving Layton wrote: “There is no force more subversive than poetry and that is why tyrants have always feared it and sought to suppress it. But not only tyrants. Everyone who has a vested interest in preventing the individual from discovering the truth of his own self and his own capacities fears the liberating power that resides in poetry.”

Human rights commissions have become the current equivalents of the censorious U.S. House Committee on UnAmerican Activities, which was launched with the good intention of stopping the spread of odious ideas but ending in disgrace and injustice, so much so that President Harry S. Truman referred to it as the "most un-American thing in the country today."

Human rights commissions are the step-child of the defunct Ontario Film Censorship Board set up to protect civilians from smut, pornography and immorality, proselytizing that society needed to be protected from the epidemic of rape and sexual assault that would follow if there were no censorship. The Board ended up becoming an embarrassment of injustice when it banned ‘Not A Love Story’, an anti-pornography movie because it contained images of oral sex, but the violent scenes were okay. The Board was ridiculed by the international community for its continual harassment of the Toronto International Film Festival.

Human rights commissions have become a re-re-re-tread of the zeitgeist of Victorianism, protecting the widespread cultivation of an outward appearance of dignity and restraint while practicing its antithesis; it was quintessential hypocrisy but now with a 21st century style gag. Human rights commissions do not decrease instances of hate; it nurtures them by driving them underground where they cannot be seen, where they cannot be fought in the full light of free speech.

Human rights commissions have become carriers of the infection of the alcohol prohibitionists, of the marijuana (reefer madness) prohibitionists, of the porn prohibitionists, and now, hate prohibitionists. The carriers of this prohibitionist infection are always the self-righteous, the interest groups claiming to protect society from itself, asserting they know what is best for the good of society while preventing the bad.

These prohibitionist groups have a fundamental mistrust of democracy; they cannot put their faith in the common sense of free speech, or in the historical record of the liberating power of free speech. The prohibitionists view the civilian masses in a democratic society to be intrinsically weak, that Canadians are a hair-trigger away from committing another holocaust.

The liberation of societies from the tyranny and oppression of the divine right of kings, from dictatorshit, from totalitarianism, did not come about from restrained speech. Democracy owes its existence to free speech. How can the continuity of democracy be assured when it is permitted only one arm to defend itself against totalitarian or ideological enemies, when incompetent human rights commissions tie the other arm with the restraint of censorshit.

The prohibitionists are poetry prophylactics; they prevent the conception and creativity of wit; they disarm the word warriors that are most effective at fighting hate. The prohibitionists are imposing their own bigotry on our democratic society. They are committing textual assault against free speech. It is not freedom of speech that needs restraining; it is the inept bureaucrazy of the human rights commissions that need restraining. They have become nothing more than a mafia of meddling mediocrity rats of the lowest disorder.

I have developed a deep and profound hatred for the contaminating effects of human rights commissions. I hold the entire group of human rights commissioners in naked contempt for their textual assault on free speech. I will continue to call for their complete liquidation as a group in our society. So there you have it; go shake your rattle tail to the nearest human rights commission near you.

A GREAT SONNETEER

With thanks to poet Cantara Christopher for bringing this to my attention.

John Gillespie Magee, Junior (June 9, 1922 – December 11, 1941)was an Anglo-American aviator and poet who died as a result of a mid-air collision over Lincolnshire during World War II. He was serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force, which he joined before the United States officially entered the war. He is undoubtedly most famous for his poem High Flight.

He received flight training in Ontario at Toronto, Trenton, St. Catharines, and Uplands and passed his Wings Test in June 1941. He was sent to Britain initially to No. 53 Operational Training Unit (OTU) in RAF Llandow, Walesto train on the Supermarine Spitfire later that year and then to the newly formed No 412 (Fighter) Squadron, RCAF,[1] which was activated at RAF Digby, England, on 30 June 1941. The motto of this squadron was and is Promptus ad vindictam (Latin: "Swift to avenge"). Magee was qualified on and flew the Supermarine Spitfire.

Magee was killed at the age of 19, whilst flying Spitfire VZ-H, serial number AD-291. The aircraft was involved in a mid-air collision with an Airspeed Oxford trainer from RAF Cranwell, flown by Leading Aircraftman Ernest Aubrey. The two aircraft collided in cloud cover at about 400 feet AGL, at 11:30, over the village of Roxholm which lies between RAF Cranwell and RAF Digby, in Lincolnshire. Magee was descending at the time. At the inquiry afterwards a farmer testified that he saw the Spitfire pilot struggling to push back the canopy. The pilot stood up to jump from the plane but was too close to the ground for his parachute to open, and died on impact. Magee is buried at Holy Cross, Scopwick Cemetery in Lincolnshire, England.

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark nor even eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

The poem starts at the 2:30 mark

MOLSON 4 MUSLIMS; CANUCK YUK YUKS

For the past few years I take the 2-block walk to view the Toronto Labour Day, monitering it for flag protocol violations. Sadly there are violations every year, especially the unions with Canadian/U.S. affiliation. I have no problem with the display of the Stars & Strippers, but I do have a problem with it FRONT&CENTRE, with the Maple Leaf relegated to the sidelines.

This year's parade had a new spectacle from the End Israeli Apartheid cell. They proudly displayed 12 of their flags. One of the group came over to hand me a leaflet, so I asked where the Canadian flag was, a single Canadian flag. He shrugged. So I added, "well I guess they aren't Canadians." He emphasized that they were. I said they weren't because there is not the slightest indication that they are Canadians. (Won't catch a Muslim slugging back a Molson) The man gestured down Queen West and said he didn't see any Canadian flags with the other groups, so my complaint had no merit.

His observation was correct. In the entire parade the Canadian flag was hardly held aloft by any union organization. I wish I had counted the number exactly so that I could compare it to the 12 Palestinian flags being proudly waved. What a pathetic display of disrespect for Canada.
