* * *Rehabilitating The Monster*<http://cic.sondages-surveys.ca/s/immigration2013/> Is there any sphere of human endeavour the UN must not control? "Canada is withdrawing from a *United Nations* body over the appointment of *Robert Mugabe* as a special tourism ambassador. *Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird* says the appointment of the Zimbabwean leader as international tourism ambassador symbolizes what is wrong with the *UN*. Mugabe is currently under a European travel ban because of human rights abuses in his own country. His appointment is being made by the *United Nations World Tourism Office*. In the *House of Commons* Wednesday, Baird called the move outrageous, and announced that Canada will be withdrawing from the tourism office next month. Mugabe has been in power for more than three decades and has been blamed for his country's economic ruin, resulting in food and fuel shortages, rampant inflation, high poverty and unemployment." (*CBC*, May 31, 2012) <http://cic.sondages-surveys.ca/s/immigration2013/>** Mugabe's "tourism minister, *Walter Mzembi*, was quoted as brushing off Canada's snub as an inconsequential move by a 'small player in the global tourism industry.' 'It is not a player in the sector. It wants to leverage on the Mugabe brand. They want to take advantage of the Mugabe brand to be on the global map,' Mzembi was quoted as saying on NewZimbabwe.com. 'If they want to withdraw, let's go ahead.'*" (The Guardian*, June 1, 2012) That's gratitude for you. Canada would continue to underpin Mugabe's genocidal regime long after other deluded Western nations got wise. One of the dictator's most blatantly corrupt elections was vigorously defended by national embarrassment and then-prime minister *Jean Chretien*. Still, given the *UN's* uniquely debased standards, Mugabe is a pretty good choice. He's personally responsible for large numbers of people seeing the world: In the 1960s, Rhodesia's population consisted of 270,000 Whites. Just 46,743 remained by the time of the 2002 census. More than 10,000 of these were elderly and fewer than 9,000 were under the age of 15. * [This article appears in the September issue of the CANADIAN IMMIGRATION HOTLINE.

Distraction Thieves

* Distraction Thieves* ** "Police say they have dismantled an international organized crime ring responsible for a series of distraction thefts across southern Ontario and Quebec. Durham Regional Police say a total of 263 charges have been laid against 34 people, and 28 of the accused are in custody. It's alleged the ring would recruit people from Romania to come to Canada, where they would claim refugee status and then apply for social assistance, primarily in and around Toronto. They would then be brought into the distraction theft and fraud operation and hand over any profits to the ringleaders. [Video footage clearly shows the unlovely crew descending on a hapless shopkeeper. Exhibiting all the natural gracefulness of stevadores, the supersized females are outfitted like gaudy Doukhabors in close fitting headscarves and flouncy full length skirts. Looking for all the world as though they might break into gypsy dances at any moment, evidently these clues are insufficient for the good old CBC to anywhere identify these jackals by ethnic affiliation. Perhaps column space forbade the usual dire admonitions about wounding tender feelings by using the non-PC term for the thieves. See footage here http://www.citytv.com/toronto/citynews/news/local/article/222883--organized-crime-ring-behind-distraction-thefts-durham-police-allege ] The suspects would allegedly target people on the street or in stores, then use distraction in order to steal valuables such as jewelry. Police say their tactics included: Swarming a store with people, using some to distract the clerk while others steal merchandise. In some cases special shoplifting pockets were sewn into garments. Offering to sell or swap worthless jewelry with their targets. In other cases, targets were allowed to 'try on' junk jewelry, which was swapped for more valuable items. Memorizing debit card numbers while shoppers made their purchases, following them to the parking lot and stealing the card from the front seat of the vehicle as the victims loaded purchases into the trunk. Police say investigators looking into cases in Oshawa soon realized similar distraction methods were being reported in other areas, including Toronto, London, Sudbury and Quebec. Durham police Chief Mike Ewles told a news conference Wednesday that the investigation dubbed Project Mansfield identified more than 400 people associated with the crime ring. ... Investigators closed in last month on four main suspects living in Pickering, Ont., and Toronto, but two had fled to Europe. Warrants have been issued for those two, along with four other outstanding suspects. Social services officials have calculated that the people identified in this investigation have received more than $2 million from various social support programs since January. Investigators seized a total of $85,000 in Canadian currency and stolen merchandise as well as credit cards. More than $1 million in suspicious wire transactions were also shipped overseas, police allege."

Hope to See You At the STORMFRONT White Nationalists Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennes

Hope to See You At the STORMFRONT White Nationalists Conference in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, September 15 Register NOW at STORMFRONT.ORG The smears have already started. <http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20120907/NEWS01/309070135/Tennessee-mountains-attracting-white-supremacists-conference><http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20120907/NEWS01/309070135/Tennessee-mountains-attracting-white-supremacists-conference> http://www.courier-journal.com/artic...sts-conference<http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20120907/NEWS01/309070135/Tennessee-mountains-attracting-white-supremacists-conference> ? Tennessee mountains attracting white supremacists for conference NASHVILLE, TENN. — A Caucasian heritage and $75 are the price of entry into next week’s international conference for white supremacists in East Tennessee. Stormfront, the oldest and best-known website devoted to the “white pride, white power” movement, is organizing the symposium. Like Facebook for white supremacists, Stormfront is the virtual gathering space for like-minded people to meet, post and respond to messages, tell jokes and offer political commentary in a variety of discussion groups that range from “fighting white genocide” to poetry. The conference in the Great Smoky Mountains represents a rare offline gathering for Stormfront members. The two-day agenda includes a luncheon and workshops on immigration, political organizing and communications from some of the movement’s best-known leaders. “This will be a national conference, drawing people from around the United States and Canada,” said investigative research director Mark Pitcavage of the Anti-Defamation League, which monitors hate groups. But a 150-mile radius around the meeting site includes concentrations of active supremacist groups most likely to attend, he said. Ties to movement And the state’s historic ties to the white supremacist movement — the Ku Klux Klan was started in 1866 in Pulaski, Tenn. — may be another reason for locating the conference there. Former Louisiana state Rep. David Duke, who ran for president twice, once as a Democrat and once as a Republican, will lead “an informal nature walk through the Smokies” on the second day of the conference, which begins next Saturday. Duke is a former grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. The conference is limited to 150 people, but it’s unclear how many will attend. The meeting is one more sign of renewed organizing efforts among white supremacists, Pitcavage said. “We’re now 3½ years into a resurgence of right-wing extremism in the United States,” he said. “Compared to four years ago, the white supremacist movement is more agitated. There aren’t more white supremacists than there were four years ago, but the ones who are are hopping mad.” Tennessee has strong pockets of each main faction of the contemporary white power movement, and that may be one reason that the international Stormfront convocation landed in the state, Pitcavage said. Unidentified Stormfront members in Tennessee started an online campaign to host the first gathering, which was held last year. Groups in state More than 30 white supremacist organizations now operate in Tennessee, representing the five contemporary strains of white supremacists, according to the Anti-Defamation League. They include neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, “traditional” movements like the Ku Klux Klan, racist prison gangs and “Christian identity” groups that espouse the belief that God favors white people. The Stormfront gathering is likely to draw from all but the prison groups, Pitcavage said. Paul Fromm, a Canadian resident who broadcasts an online radio show from Ontario via the Stormfront site, will give a presentation at the conference about the perils of immigration in North America. “Basically, if the present trends continue, the founding set of people will be a minority in America in 2041,” Fromm said this week in an interview with The Tennessean. “Once you change the population, you have a substantially different country. We have never really been consulted about these policies. They’ve been snuck in over the years by very powerful advocates.” Fromm has spoken at numerous neo-Nazi and Ku Klux Klan white power events, according to the Birmingham, Ala.-based Southern Poverty Law Center. That organization has called Fromm “one of Canada’s best-known white supremacists.” But that doesn’t mean he embraces the term “white supremacist.” He prefers the term “white pride.” “It’s European pride,” Fromm said. “It’s not putting anyone down. It’s celebrating what we have to be proud of. The founders of North America are European; the American political system traces back its roots to ancient Greece. It’s something we are proud of.” Other speakers at the conference — including Duke and Stormfront founder Derek Black — did not respond to requests for an interview A new approach The Stormfront meeting also represents a growing strain of the white supremacist movement interested in crafting more palatable talking points to convey white pride sensibility without sounding extremist, Pitcavage said. Instead of “white supremacist,” advocates within the movement are urging adherents to talk about “anti-whites” who oppose them, he said. In the past several weeks, Stormfront members have been getting ready, posting messages about ride shares, hotels and good places to visit in Tennessee. “Even the hotel maids are white,” one poster said of last year’s conference, held just outside Gatlinburg, Tenn. The exact location of this year’s conference is kept secret until just before the event, but members have recommended hotels in the tourist destinations of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. “I live in the area. I assure everyone here anti-whites will not be a problem nor would they be tolerated by the locals or the law enforcement,” newthoughtnationalism wrote. Sevier County, where Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are located, is 96.1 percent white, according to Census Bureau figures. Local law enforcement officials say they are aware of the gathering but do not anticipate any trouble. The gathering was peaceful last year, according to the Knox County sheriff’s office. Pitcavage said the election of Barack Obama as president and a down economy are driving the white supremacist resurgence. A recent spike in violence includes an August shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin in a Milwaukee suburb that left six worshipers dead, including the self-identified neo-Nazi shooter. But a foiled terrorist plot in Tennessee may have lit the first spark, Pitcavage said. In 2008, during Obama’s first presidential campaign, Daniel Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tenn., and his friend Paul Schlesselman, 18, from Arkansas — both self-described white power skinheads — were caught before they could carry out an assassination attempt against Obama and 88 African Americans at a school in West Tennessee. The two met online at the Stormfront site.
