Tremaine Might Be An Idiot

A few weeks ago Paul Fromm and the usual suspects on Stormfront were crowing about the adjournment of Terry Tremaine's contempt of court trial:

REGINA. They saw the quiet determination in Terry Tremaine's blue grey eyes and like certain soldiers seeing the cold steel glint of the bayonets, fled the fiedld of battle.

Internet dissident Terry Tremaine (Mathdoktor99 on Stormfront) had given up his apartment, moved his goods into storage, eaten a hearty last breakfast and removed all but some cash and his health card and headed off to Federal Court this morning fully believing he might eat a supper of slops in a local jail.

We arrived at the hearing. I spoke to a brief press conference and, then, Mr. Tremaine, reporter Barb Pacholik, and I headed up to Room 1600. It was locked. We were amazed.

We learned that the day before Federal Court had granted the Canadian Human Rights Commission an adjournment sine die; that is, an indefinite postponement.

Later in the day I contacted Canadian Human Rights Commission lawyer and prosecutor Daniel Poulin. He explained : "I truly do not want to put Mr. Tremaine in prison." However, he wants Mr. Tremaine to remove his National Socialist Party of Canada website.

Contacted later in the day, lawyer Douglas Christie hailed the adjournment as a "real victory."

Terry Tremaine had made it quite clear in discussions over the past month with Mr. Poulin that he was not afraid to go to jail. He does not want to knuckle under to Canada's Internet censorship. He welcomed an open court hearing where he could defend what he had posted and legitimate political commentary about urgent social and political issues.

What was really happening? We suspect that, with media from coast to coast calling for the repeal of Sec. 13 (the Internet censorship provisions of the Canadian Human Rights Act), the CHRC and its new public relations advisors may not have relished tossing a gentle, law-abiding academic into prison for the non-violent expression of his political views.

CAFE is pleased with the role we've played, reminding the media and all who'll listen that a CHRC prepared to jail a dissident, places Canada in the sordid company of tyrannies like Red China and Burma that jail people solely for the non-violent expression of their political views. -- Paul Fromm, Director

We quite enjoy how Fromm makes is sound as if Tremaine singlehandedly fended off the whole of Santa Anna's army at the Alamo. And, on cue, Tremaine later added his two cents. We won't bore you with the entire spiel though:

To summarize, I request that the court dismiss the charge of contempt. My purpose in ignoring the cease and desist order was to address the urgent matter of impending White extinction and to argue against the new one-world religion of Equality. It is my profound concern that Canada will continue its slide into a nightmare of Political Correctness where only hypocrites and liars will have a voice. Therefore, I request that the court recognize my writings as fair social commentary.

We think you know where this is leading:

Terrence Cecil Tremaine accused of breaching condition of release for posting messages on the Internet

By Heather Polischuk, Leader-PostAugust 7, 2009

REGINA — Terrence Cecil Tremaine, the former University of Saskatchewan lecturer facing a charge of promoting hatred, is back in custody for allegedly breaching a condition of his release that he not post messages on the Internet.

Tremaine, 61, is accused of breaching the condition on July 22. The nature of the posting was not mentioned during his Regina Provincial Court appearance on Friday.

Crown prosecutor Michael Morris opposed Tremaine's release from custody and the matter was set over until Monday. Morris said the incident is still being investigated by police and that it's possible "more substantive charges" will be laid.

Tremaine's release included a condition that he not make postings on the Internet since that is the allegation involved in the promotion of hatred charge — in which he is accused of posting racist comments against Jews on a white supremacist website between Feb. 1, 2004, and Nov. 1, 2007. That charge is expected to be back before the court in the fall.

Tremaine has faced sanctions for racist behaviour in the past. He was fined $4,000 by a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in 2007 for making racist postings, a decision that was upheld following a judicial review sought by Tremaine.

He is currently awaiting a hearing before the Federal Court on an allegation of contempt in relation to the tribunal's decision. The contempt charge sprang from allegations that Tremaine was continuing to post racist and hateful commentary.

He was dismissed from his part-time lecturer position after the U of S became aware in 2005 of the postings.

Considering he was posting messages on his blog up until June 22 of this year, we'd like to thank Terry with providing the rope with which to hang himself.

An Enemies List to Actually Be Concerned About

BigCityLib posted an article yesterday concerning a freedom of information request for Jennifer Lynch's "enemies list." What the speechies got was in reality a collection of media clippings. And they were sooooo hoping to be on an enemies list, as if that would somehow bring some sort of meaning to their lives.

Well never you fear speechies. There is, in fact, at least one enemies list that has been created. This list contains names, photographs, email addresses, work and home addresses, phone numbers, and a great deal of other information.

And where can you find this enemies list?

The hate website Stormfront:

Ms. Lynch and a host of other CHRT and CHRC members, both past and present, are listed here. The check marks signify that information has been gathered and posted on the site. In addition to the publicized professional and personal information, other Stormfront members have posted comments. A selection:

....It's already been conceded by our government that employment equity is the unequal treatment of Whites. The government has has to take the position that White males are less equal than other people or else employment equity would be unfair.....

....This database will be valuable when they truth comes out and all of the criminals can have their day in a REAL court for the violation of our right to free speech, and the expression therein....

....She believes that "not accepting diversity" is tantamount to hate. She believes the refusal of any indentifiable groups into our communities is hate as well. Therefore, your freedom of expression to oppose your community being flooded by AIDS infested Africans are outweighed by the right of those AIDS infested immigrants to live without "hate". Therefore, your opposing this suicidal immigration policy will result in you being punished by the CHRC/CHRT....

....People with the last name "******" are allegedly direct descendants of Muhammed. So we know she's a race traitor....

And so on. OdinPatrick even later references, "The Lynch Mob" blog and the alleged Jennifer Lynch enemies list that doesn't exist:

And why, exactly, should we be concerned about this particular enemies list on Stormfront? Oh, we don't know.....

• Suspect in officers' shooting was into conspiracy theories

• FrontPage Magazine - The Stormfront Accomplices

• Terrorism in America

• Far right launch campaign of violence and intimidation against opponents

And so on....

Klown Power

Because sometimes you just have to laugh at the jokers.

A Blast from the Past: Levant's and Ander's Apology to Ron Ghitter

Okay, so BigCityLib already wrote about this on June 26, but we thought it was so much fun that it warranted another look:

Debates of the Senate (Hansard)

2nd Session, 36th Parliament,
Volume 138, Issue 46

Monday, April 10, 2000
The Honourable Gildas L. Molgat, Speaker

Apology to the Honourable Ron Ghitter

Hon. John Lynch-Staunton (Leader of the Opposition): Honourable senators, I should like to read to you a statement that will be published in the Calgary Herald, The Calgary Sun and The Edmonton Journal on Friday, April 14. It will be entitled, "Apology to Senator Ghitter from Rob Anders, M.P., and Ezra Levant."

In September of 1998, we unfairly and inaccurately described the character, statements, commitment and work of Senator Ghitter in a fundraising letter circulated to 31,000 Albertans in connection with the Alberta Senatorial Election. The letter was prepared by Ezra Levant and signed by Rob Anders on behalf of the Reform Party of Alberta.

The letter was insulting and demeaning of Senator Ghitter who has dedicated over 30 years of his life to public service both as an elected member of the Legislature of Alberta, a member of the Senate of Canada, a spokesman for minorities, and a volunteer in many capacities.

On September 25, 1998, Senator Ghitter requested that we retract our statements and donate $2,500.00 to the Alberta Cancer Society. We refused to do so, and instead made further inaccurate and demeaning public statements about Senator Ghitter through various media outlets. On October 21, 1998, Senator Ghitter commenced a defamation action against us.

Our attack on Senator Ghitter was unfounded and we now admit having defamed Senator Ghitter. We further acknowledge that some of our statements were based on facts that were false and on out of context interpretations.

We regret preparing and sending the letter and wish to apologize to Senator Ghitter and his family for our lack of civility and our inappropriate actions and comments.

Rob Anders, M.P.

More Making Fun of Boneheads

We're really don't understand why boneheads continue to subject themselves to the humiliation that results when they try to form coherent sentences. Yes, dear readers, it is time for yet another installment of "Illiterate Bonehead Theater."

This time we'd like to thank Rolang for writing the commentary on each of the bonehead messages that we received over the past month:

i personally think your a fucken idiot and you need to get a life and stop talking about eric like that yu fucken pieces of shyt what yur gunna "try " and stop everyone from being racist people have there own way of dealing with things and your little fucken crew or whatever you wanna call it aint gunna change a difference in this world so really you need to get a fucken life all of you cunts what you do sit infront of a computer and wire your little fucken comments as if people are really gunna sit there a listen to you you have no fucken life so get over it and suck a dick

We were going to try to respond to this but we got distracted by your mastery of the run-on sentence and gratuitous use of the word "fucken". But evidently even you didn't think you got the point across effectively and decided to try again:

what is wrong with you fags what do you do sit there and write comments about people as if your comments are really going to change a person you people need to grow up and stop talking bout eric like that really what are you going to do .. hes racists so what .. so are half this world and do you plan to stop people out in this world... its a world of hate as if black people dont hate on us too it goes both ways and if he dont like black people thats his thing not your problem .// so get a life this is so stupid omggg hahahaha

We appreciate your attempt to use punctuation this time, although we'll have to consult Strunk & White to determine if that's the proper placement of ".//".

You guys have way too much time on your hands. Just because you got A's in gr. 8 spelling bees doesn't change the fact that you are all keyboard kommandos. We walk around Toronto without fear and I've never in my experience ever been approached by any "antifas". Unless of course there were at least 10 and I was alone.

You walk around Toronto without fear because your existence is absolutely irrelevant to the 2.5 million people who live there, minus maybe 6 or 7 of your buddies. We actually feel kind of sorry for you. You live in Toronto. One of the world's most multicultural cities. A city with the official motto "Diversity Our Strength". It must just kill you to have to walk around every day and bear witness to the rampant cultural and ethnic diversity, the flagrant disregard for racism and exclusion.

And the race mixing - oh, the race mixing! Italians getting it on with Chinese. South Asians bumping uglies with Jamaicans. Kenyans knocking boots with Swedes. All day, every day. It must be too much for you to bear.

Our point is, we ridicule you because it's fun for us. Frankly, we assumed you had a sense of your own unimportance and would be grateful for the attention.

Thank you ladies and gentlemen. We're here all week. Try the buffet and remember to tip your waitress or waiter.

The Hatemongers' New Tool: The Internet
Christopher Wolf: Internet Hate Is What Kept James Von Brunn's Hateful Lunacy At The Boiling Point

By Christopher Wolf
Special to CBSNews.com
June 17, 2009

Before the Internet, James Von Brunn, the self-proclaimed white supremacist, anti-Semite and Holocaust denier who stands accused of murder at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, was relegated to using the mail to communicate his rage with like-minded haters. The only place for him to have his benighted views applauded was in sporadic clandestine meetings.

The Internet changed all that. Like his fellow bigots, Von Brunn found the Internet a boon to his warped causes. His maintained a hate Web site, "Holy Western Empire," where he touted and provided excerpts from his book that denied the Holocaust and praised Hitler. And online, in chat rooms, on bulletin boards and through links to other haters’ Web sites, Von Brunn had a virtual fan club, who cheered him on and legitimized his vicious thinking.

We will never know whether Von Brunn’s rage would have burned out but for the Internet, but we do know that he found validation for the rage he harbored on the Internet.

At the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, where Von Brunn unleashed his hateful rage by killing Security Guard Stephen Tyrone Johns, there recently was an exhibit on the power of Nazi propaganda. The exhibit showed how the Nazi propaganda machine skillfully spread lies about Jews and perpetuated centuries-old anti-Semitic stereotypes, setting the stage for the Holocaust.

Today, the Internet Von Brunn used is a powerful and virulent platform for anti-Semitism - hate toward Jews that has a direct link to the deterioration of civil society, violence, terrorism, and - as we now know - murder. Hitler and the Nazis could never have dreamed of such an engine of hate.

The Internet as the new propaganda machine for anti-Semites is not under the central control of a political party or group. It gains its power by being viral in nature. Everyone can be a publisher, even the most vicious anti-Semite. Hate begets hate, and its common appearance makes it seem acceptable and normal. Internet hate is what kept Von Brunn’s hateful lunacy at the boiling point.

And, perniciously, Internet hate speech serves to mislead and even recruit young people to become the next generation of anti-Semites and, perhaps, murders.

Since its advent, we have been concerned about the incredible power and reach that the Internet has given anti-Semites and bigots. What has developed in the past few years, however, is much more dangerous. We are now in the world of what is called "Web 2.0,"transforming the way the Internet is being used. Any hater and propagandist can reach a mass audience, even an audience that didn’t think itself receptive to such hateful ideas. With the users of Web 2.0 comprised largely of younger people, the impact of the information posted there may persist for generations to come.

Blogging and social media sites are changing the way people communicate their reactions to events in the news and interact with each other. Those who harbor anti-Semitic beliefs are comfortable expressing themselves in cyberspace, where they can provoke a reaction from others or find like-minded individuals to affirm their beliefs.

In the aftermath of the Madoff revelations, the comments section following ordinary news stories contained rages against Jewish people for controlling (and ruining) the world’s finances. And YouTube frequently is the home of hate-filled replays of Nazi propaganda films.

The perniciousness of anti-Semitism on today’s Internet is that the more one sees it, the more one is likely to consider it normal, and acceptable. Good people are numbed by the proliferation, and daunted by the task of responding. Others consider it a reflection of what is acceptable in society. And then there are those on the fringe, like Von Brunn, who use such content as justification for murder.

The First Amendment protects essentially all hate speech, except that consisting of direct threats against specific people. But that does not mean we should throw up our hands and simply accept hate on the Internet as something that will always infect the Internet. There is a role for Internet users, for Internet companies and for educators. We should speak up when we see hate sites, explain to our kids what they are seeing, and counter the vicious lies.

Those offering Internet services with terms of use that prohibit hate speech should enforce those terms and remove offending content. And it is time for Internet education as a requirement in all schools, to teach kids how to filter what they are seeing and to reject hate online. (The epidemic of cyberbullying alone should inspire such attention to kids using the Internet.)

A fitting memorial to museum guard Stephen Johns would be for society finally to address hate on the Internet in a meaningful way, to prevent the next Internet-inspired murder.

Christopher Wolf, an attorney in Washington D.C., is Chair of the Anti-Defamation League’s
Internet Task Force and Immediate Past Chair of the International Network Against Cyber-Hate.

In light of the effort to gut or completely dismantle the CHRC and CHRT, this article is certainly food for thought.

Ouwendyk Libel Payments

Hey, look what we managed to get a hold of:


Above is a copy of what we believe is the latest payment from Jason Ouwendyk courtesy of his bankruptcy trustee. Our readers may recall Ouwendyk's bankruptcy trustee accepted the full claim for damages from Mr. Warman’s libel suit against him when Ouwendyk sought bankruptcy protection:

At some point in the fall of 2005, the website of the London, Ontario white supremacist group Northern Alliance (www.northernalliance.ca) went down for reasons that remain unclear. Although still too early to herald the group’s demise, there are suspicions that the financial woes of leader Jason Ouwendyk, who sought bankruptcy protection in December of 2004, may be the cause. At the time of his bankruptcy protection, Ouwendyk owed approximately $50,000 to creditors, including $12,500 owed to the author of this article. This was after his bankruptcy trustee accepted the full claim for damages and costs in a small claims libel suit against Ouwendyk as a result of comments made on the Northern Alliance website.

Ouwendyk seems to be out of the picture for the most part, however David Ruud appears to have taken up the mantle of Northern Alliance spokesperson. And considering the work he's done in that regard, it really does look like the Northern Alliance is pretty much kaput.

Andrew Benson Wants to Join the Army

A while ago, we noticed that Toronto bonehead Andrew Benson was keen on joining the Canadian Forces:

Naturally, we dismissed this as fantasy. After all, this is a man so lacking in body mass that he requires both a belt AND suspenders to secure his pants to the assemblage of bones otherwise known as his body. A meth habit (should he choose to partake in the drug) may get Benson through the trivialities of his depressing existence, but we’re pretty sure it won’t get him through basic training.

Nonetheless, we decided to humor him and pretend that we take seriously the delusional boastings of a 25 year old neo-Nazi so desperate for attention and validation that he hangs out with teenagers and posts pictures of his friends committing crimes on his Facebook profile. Trust us, he needs this. And the latest news from the wonderful world of Benson is that he has joined the National Socialist Movement Party.

Oh, and the Army. Unable to hide his elation, he reported both in the same breathless status update on Facebook. Unfortunately fellow bonehead Craig Flemming then had to go and be a Negative Nancy, pointing out that membership in a neo-Nazi hate group might be a problem for those P.C. thugs over at the Canadian Forces. Which Benson promptly ignored. We’d like to applaud him for his frankness, which will surely mean more to the military than his lack of character. The military doesn’t care if you belong to white supremacist organizations. Or if you’ve immortalized your white supremacy with racist tattoos. Or (as anyone who has seen Benson’s Facebook profile can attest to), if you continuously post pictures of you and your creepy friends giving Hitler salutes, wearing Nazi uniforms and doing drugs with minors in your apartment.

After all, it’s not like the military explicitly states its intolerance for “conduct that promotes, encourages or constitutes discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour or religion.”

Or that such conduct “also includes belonging to or participating in the activities of a group or organization that a CF member knows, or ought to know, promotes such discrimination or harassment.”

So, Benson - if anyone tries to tell you that “racist attitudes are not compatible with military ethos and with effective military service” because such conduct “impairs military effectiveness by…creating an impression with the public of Canada and other nations, that the Canadian Forces cannot be relied upon to perform peacekeeping and other international commitments, or to provide assistance to Canadian authorities in handling internal disputes fairly and impartially, without regard to the race, national or ethnic origin, colour or religion of the parties involved” – well, you just don’t worry your tiny little head about it and keep on being the flamboyantly bigoted moron that we’re sure the Army will come to know and love. There’s absolutely no reason the military would refuse to admit a known racist to their organization. In fact, we pulled the following quote completely out of our ass:

Defence and the Canadian Forces must remain vigilant against racist behaviour because it is in flagrant opposition to basic human rights, which the Canadian Forces are called upon to defend. Again, in the context of the Canadian Forces, a modern and effective defence structure depends on teamwork, whereas racism undermines team cohesion and jeopardizes mission success. Finally, as harmony and unity are imperatives of the defence team, it is in the best interests of our operations to individually and collectively strive to eliminate racism within our organization.

We encourage you to continue to flaunt your racist extremism and above all keep on following your dreams. Because we know you’ve been dreaming about this since 2004:

We also know that before you ventured into the world of racist loserdom you were a rave kid and a self-proclaimed Trotskyist. We’re very curious as to the nature of the traumatic event that could explain your transformation from this:

into this:

Oh wait:

You hate your parents. That explains it. Disaffected kids will do anything to piss off mom and dad. And admittedly, we don’t know all the details of your upbringing or family life - we just wish we could say that you were a kid when you wrote that and not 20. We calculate that at the current rate of devolution by the time you hit 30 you’ll be turning tricks behind a dumpster in Vaughn and blaming it all on the ZOG. In the meantime, good luck in your pursuit of that “Army” career.

Harry Abrams Isn't a Liberal

One of the posters on Free Dominion provides a theory regarding Mr. Abrams' complaint against Mr. Topham and his comments regarding the FreeDom crew:

In response, Mr. Abrams authorized us to post this:

Not that we really think that it will matter. For many of the FreeDom crew, the Harper Conservatives really aren't conservative either.

Now, let the recriminations begin.

Try To Keep Up, Junior

Canadian Stormfront moderator OdinPatrick has posted the latest on Ciaran Donnelly:

Of course, OdinPatrick fails to mention that this mediation occurred over a year ago:

Man wins rights case against B.C. neo-Nazi 

Don Butler, Canwest News Service
Published: Saturday, June 21, 2008 

OTTAWA - Richard Warman has settled his federal human rights complaint about Internet hate posted by a Coquitlam man. 

As part of a mediated settlement, Ciaran Paul Donnelly of Coquitlam agreed to permanently close his account on Stormfront, a U.S. website through which the hate messages were distributed, and ask to have his earlier postings deleted. He has also agreed to pay $1,000 in damages for making veiled threats against Warman and posting a picture of a sign reading: "The Church of Dead Warman." 

Terms of the settlement, which prohibit Donnelly from posting further hate propaganda on the Internet or engaging in additional retaliation against Warman, will be registered with the Federal Court of Canada. 

Donnelly, who posted his messages under the user name "Der Totenkopf" -- the death's head insignia of the German SS -- is a well-known figure in the Canadian neo-Nazi movement. 

He was a leading member of Western Canada For Us, a now-defunct Alberta-based neo-Nazi group that included Glen Bahr and Peter Kouba, against whom Warman has filed successful human rights complaints for Internet hate. 

Another member was Donnelly's sometime girlfriend, Jessica Beaumont of Calgary, known as "Jessy Destruction" on Stormfront. 

She was the subject of another successful complaint by Warman, who has had 10 complaints about Internet hatred upheld by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal in recent years. 

Three of Warman's other complaints, including the one against Donnelly, ended in mediated settlements. 

Warman will donate most of the settlement money to a memorial education fund for the children of Kelly Morrisseau, an aboriginal woman whose 2006 murder in Gatineau Park, north of Ottawa, remains unsolved. The rest will go to the Canadian Anti-racism and Education Society.

Johnny on the spot aren't you, OdinPatrick?

The other problem is the claim that Mr. Warman rarely enters into mediation. Also not true as we can name at least two other cases where Mr. Warman has mediated with individuals whom he has brought complaints against. However, unlike the speechies who have used their names in their attacks on Mr. Warman, we will not publish their names and put them in any danger.
