*Another Dissident Victim: Arthur Topham Charged With "Hate" for Internet Postings* ** ** Make no mistake about it: It's dangerous to be a strong critic of Israel in Canada. The long arm of political Zionism reaches deep within governments in Canada. A once free nation was saddled with the "hate law", Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code, after more than 30 years of lobbying by the Canadian Jewish Congress. The process works this way, as lawyer Doug Christie has frequently explained: demonize, ostracize, then criminalize. The victim is the subject of a series of one-sided press articles. Friends and potential allies shy away, thinking "I don't want my name associated with things like that. I can't afford publicity like what he's getting." Now, vilified and isolated, the friendless victim is marched off to court for his final destruction. Notice in the *National Post* and Sun Media articles below, Mr. Topham is never interviewed nor is a spokesman say, for a free speech organization like CAFE. Arthur Topham has been a strong critic of Zionism for almost 15 years, through radicalpress, which was first a newspaper and, of latter years, a website and blog. After a six month RCMP "Hate squad" (thought crimes) investigation and while labouring under an Internet gag order, Arthur Topham has been charged under Canada's notorious "hate" law. In an e-mail sent out earlier this week, Mr. Topham indicated that he expects to be arrested. He will appear in court on November 8 to seek bail. He fears the Crown will seek a severe gag order. Until a few weeks ago, he wasn't even allowed to send out e-mail and, of course, his computers had been seized by the police. What a country! When you watch the pukesome *The Charter:** Let's Discuss It* ( http://charterproject.ca) ads on television, with their earnestly politically correct types breathlessly enthusing how Trudeau's 30-year old document ensures our rights, scream back, "What About Arthur Topham?" The Charter was a legal coup d'etat. It stripped us of individual rights and conferred group rights. If you're not a member of a privilged group, you're out of luck. The well meaning fools think they enjoy freedom of speech and other rights. They haven't read the weasel clause which says you have these rights unless Parliament or a provincial legislature decides to restrict them for some good reason, of course,or, as the Charter expresses it, "a reasonable limit in a free and democratic society." "Democratic" cancels free, because if an elected or even appointed body approves the restriction, it's "democratic.| Mr. Topham's tormenters, the complainants, are Harry Abrams, a longtime B'nai Brith operative in Victoria, and serial complainant Richard Warman, who somehow found time while doing whatever he does for the Department of National Defence, to investigate Mr. Topham and file yet another complaint. According to the *National Post* (November 6, 2012): "Mr. Warman’s complaint said both the *Biological Jew* and the *Protocols* were banned from import into Canada as hate propaganda. 'When you’ve got that kind of just rabid attack against the Jewish community I think it’s incumbent on people to stand up in society,' said Mr. Warman, who regularly files complaints about racist websites." Notice, it's really about silencing views, racist or anti-Zionist, Warman doesn't like. Warman wants people to stand up. Fair enough. Why not write a critique pointing out exactly where *The Biolgical Jew* or the *Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion* are wrong. That's how debate should occur in a free society. Also being banned as "hate propaganda" by the Customs Canada censors doens't imply the book was ever given a hearing. There was never a trial. Some bureaucrat made a ruling.

Owner Arthur Topham, Quesnel, B.C., has been charged with willfully promoting hatred against Jews. The publisher of a British Columbia website that has drawn repeated complaints over its portrayals of Jews has been charged with promoting hatred following a six-month police investigation, officials said Tuesday. Arthur Topham, 65, was charged with a single count of willfully promoting hatred against “people of the Jewish religion or ethnic group” as well as improper storage of firearms found in his house near Quesnel, B.C. “The branch has approved charges against him,” said Neil MacKenzie of the B.C. Criminal Justice Branch. He said the province’s assistant deputy attorney general had sign off on the hate crimes charge. Mr. Topham was to make a court appearance Thursday. “We’re glad that the government and the police have taken our concerns seriously and proceeded,” said Anita Bromberg of B’nai Brith Canada, which had asked police to investigate the website last May.

He also publishes *Radical Press*, a website that posts materials with conspiracy theory themes such as the “Biological Jew” and the “Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.” The Biological Jew depicts Jews as parasites that suck the blood from their “host” societies while the Protocols is a fraudulent book that purports to describe a conspiracy for worldwide Jewish domination. In May, Harry Abrams, a B’nai Brith volunteer in Victoria, B.C., and Ottawa lawyer Richard Warman both complained to police about the website. Mr. Warman’s complaint said both the Biological Jew and the Protocols were banned from import into Canada as hate propaganda. “When you’ve got that kind of just rabid attack against the Jewish community I think it’s incumbent on people to stand up in society,” said Mr. Warman, who regularly files complaints about racist websites. It seems that a lesson needs to be learned and the criminal system might be the best way to do it Police arrested Mr. Topham and questioned him on May 16. According to a transcript of his police interview that was posted online, he asked the investigating officer, Det. Const. Terry Wilson of the B.C. Hate Crime Team, whether he had been trained in Tel Aviv or whether Mossad had come to Canada to train him. He lectured the officer about how Jews “control what you’re doing” and said they had “created the unit you’re working for.” He asked the officer if he was a Christian and scolded him for what he was doing. “These guys have spent the last 2,000 years trying to destroy our religion, and you like a Judas are out here like a, like one of their dogs chasing down people who are trying to defend the Christian religion,” he said. “You ought to be ashamed of yourself.” Doug Christie, Mr. Topham’s defence lawyer, confirmed in an email his client had been formally charged. Asked if he wanted to comment, Mr. Christie responded: “Opposition to Zionism should not be illegal.” But Ms. Bromberg said the website went well beyond that. “This isn’t a free speech issue about the politics behind Israel. It is borrowing on age-old canards that raise our concerns that this is designed to spread hate,” she said. “Our concerns were valid, they were carefully considered by the police and obviously, because these were hate crimes charges, by the attorney-general.” Mr. Topham announced on his website he had been charged. He portrayed himself as a defender of free speech and asked for donations. “Judging from the wording of this indictment it looks like it’s going to be a battle between the Christians and the Jews,” he wrote. Complaints about *Radical Press* go back to 2007, when B’nai Brith took the website to the Canadian Human Rights Commission. But the case stalled due to uncertainty over the law. Police assumed sole responsibility for investigating hate crimes complaints about websites after the Conservatives voted in June to repeal a law that had previously allowed the rights commission to deal with such matters. * National Post* *[email protected]* * * * Ottawa Sun Wednesday November 7 2012 <http://www.ottawasun.com/home> News <http://www.ottawasun.com/news> Canada<http://www.ottawasun.com/news/canada> British Columbia http://www.ottawasun.com/2012/11/06/bc-blogger-charged-with-hate-crime-for-promoting-hatred-against-jews B.C. blogger charged with hate crime for promoting hatred against Jews Tyler Orton, QMI Agency First posted: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 09:26 PM EST | Updated: Tuesday, November 06, 2012 09:30 PM EST VANCOUVER — A British Columbia man has been charged with a hate crime following years of complaints to human rights officials for his website, which refers to those of Jewish faith as snakes and Zionists. Arthur Topham, a 65-year-old miner from Quesnel, was charged Monday with promoting hatred against an identifiable group and a firearms-related offence following a six-month criminal investigation into the content on his website, Radical Press, Crown officials said. “It’s relatively uncommon to have charges sworn under this section (of the Criminal Code) in British Columbia,” Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie said. Complaints against Radical Press first surfaced in 2007 when Harry Abrams of Victoria, B.C., and Ottawa lawyer Richard Warman filed a grievance against Topham with the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Abrams said the complaint ended up getting bogged down in uncertainty over the law, but police began investigating the case last spring. “There’s a place for opinion and a place for discourse. When you have hate propaganda, it’s generally a one-sided thing that cannot be answered to,” said Abrams, a volunteer with the Jewish advocacy group B’nai B’rith Canada. Abrams said he’s satisfied the blogger has been charged. Topham’s lawyer Doug Christie told QMI Agency Canada’s hate-speech laws are “instruments of oppression” and there’s no evidence to support the idea that anything someone says promotes violence. “Nobody has to look up Mr. Topham’s website unless they want to go out of their way to be offended,” he said *

 

Diversity may be fatal, says new government health study

I suspect the health effects on Whites, the victims of this government sanctioned and organized Third World invasion and replacement of the founding/settler people, must be even worse. -- Paul Fromm Diversity may be fatal, says new government health study 1:42 AM 10/27/2012 inShare 0 <http://dailycaller.com/email-this/?postid=3470153> <http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/27/diversity-may-be-fatal-says-new-government-health-study/?print=1> Neil Munro - Diversity may be killing older African-Americans and Hispanics, according to a new peer-reviewed study published in the America Journal of Public Health, which shows that people suffer less cancer and heart disease when they live among their racial or ethnic peers. “Living in an ethnically dense neighborhood is beneficial when it comes to heart disease and cancer,” said Kimberly Alvarez, a co-author of the new study, which was funded by the National Institutes of Health. Alvarez’s phrase, “ethnically dense,” describes a community in which at least 50 percent of people are from the same ethnic group. Many progressive groups advocate the use of government to increase diversity in housing, education, health care and other sectors. Alvarez’s study reviewed the health records of 2,367 Mexican-Americans and 2,790 African-Americans older than 65, and concluded they lived longer if they inhabited a community mostly populated by their group. African-Americans “living in a county with an ethnic density of 50% or more … were 46% less likely to report doctor-diagnosed heart disease and 77% less likely to report cancer than those who lived in an ethnic density of less than 25%,” said a summary of the report, authored by Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health.* (RELATED: Living in an Ethnically Homogenous Neighborhood Boosts Health of U.S. Minority Seniors<http://www.mailman.columbia.edu/news/living-ethnically-homogenous-area-boosts-health-minority-seniors> )* The Mexican-Americans in the study “were 33% and 62% less likely to report heart disease and cancer, respectively,” when more than half of their neighbors were similar to them ethnically. The reduced death rate in “ethnically dense” neighborhoods may occur because similar neighbors are “likely to share values like respect for elders and have close-knit family structures,” said Becca Levy, a study co-author and an associate professor of Epidemiology and Psychology at the Yale School of Public Health. Earlier studies showed high levels of social support within communities of Hispanic immigrants, said Alvarez, and “these networks may facilitate better health behaviors and, in turn, better health outcomes.” Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/27/diversity-may-be-fatal-says-new-government-health-study/#ixzz2BKjRd3ip
