Four Years

Yes, we have been kicking around, and have been kicked around in some circles, for four years now.

We know. We're just as surprised as you are.

We plan on spending our birthday eating cake after a nice dinner with friends.

Sadly, not everyone's birthday will be as happy as ours.

Hey, Want to be Creeped Out?

Sometimes, we just have to share. No lead in really necessary:

That's right ladies. Fugitive Craig Cobb is single and ready to mingle.

And, if you aren't ready for a commitment, Craig appears ready to rent love for a while.

We can only assume that he upgraded to a three man tent for the winter.

All this could be yours. Just think about it for a moment.

Uhm, on second thought, perhaps it's best not to think about it. It burns less.

November Bits and Bites: Left Overs

On the eve of our fourth birthday, we thought we would post a few items that we never got the chance to use, but which we still think our readers might like to see.

Call it spring cleaning. In the fall. And it is going to be disjointed as hell.

Fromm Upset That He and His Friends Aren't Getting Any Credit

On November 26, Brian Storseth's private member's bill to repeal Sec. 13 from the Canadian Human Rights Act had it's second reading. Should the Conservatives all get behind Bill C-304, and there's no reason to think that they won't, it is perhaps likely that Sec. 13 is living on borrowed time.

One would think that people like Paulie would be jubilant, however such is not the case, for one reason, Sec. 319 in Criminal Code which deals with hate speech is still in place, which means that is their next target:

This might not be a surprise, but we do get a chuckle that Paulie's biggest complaint is that he and his fellow travellers aren't the one's being given the credit.

Who does he and his friends complain have been given the credit?

Itz da Juus!

Why We Call Them Boneheads Part Infinity +1

Oh, how we loves us our fan mail.

This one comes from "IrishHostility" who is quite displeased that we decided not to post a comment she made taking umbrage at a recent post concerning the White Nationalist movement and then claims not to be about hate.... though we're sure that referring to herself as "IrishHostility" might raise the irony flag for some of our readers:

I love how cowardly you pricks are.

We'll howdy to you too. You seem sort of upset. Angry even. One might even suggest you are being hateful.

Perish the thought!

November Bits and Bites: The Return of the Trenerry

First, before the main course. One of the four tools who decided it would be fun to assault people while handing out Blood & Honour fliers in Edmonton was sentenced today:

Brown-skinned white supremacist gets probation for hateful words

By Tony Blais ,Edmonton Sun

A brown-skinned white supremacist who hurled racist slurs and sang Nazi songs at a Whyte Avenue bar was placed on probation for two years on Thursday.

Keith Virgil Decu, 32, was also ordered to perform 100 hours of community service and banned from going to the Whyte Avenue area after pleading guilty in Provincial Court to a reduced charge of causing a disturbance.

Crown prosecutor Ashley Finlayson told court it was an “abhorrent” crime, but said Decu played a much lesser role than his white supremacist co-accused in the racist rampage along Whyte Avenue on Feb. 12.

“It was clear he was a follower and not significantly involved, “ said Finlayson, although the prosecutor pointed out Decu “joined in” the Nazi songs being sung in the Strathcona Hotel bar and “called people niggers.”

As for the trial...

We Now Know Who the Guy in the Zundel Photo Is

Hey, remember this photo on the left? If you do, it's because it is one of the more common photos of Holocaust deniers Ernst Zundel found on the internet. In the photo Zundel appears with two individuals in semi-paramilitary uniforms who appear to be acting as bodyguards. At one point there was speculation that the one on the left hand side of the photo was Marc Lemire.

We have stated that the individual was not Lemire, unfortunately too many who had no idea what Lemire looked like bought into this erroneous claim and labelled it as Lemire acting as Zundel's body guard. This error has prompted some groups and individuals to claim that the entire discussion of Lemire's involvement in the racist movement was simply part of a smear campaign.

To be clear, Lemire did have a close relationship with Zundel and was a member (and later leader) of the Heritage Front, but the guy in the photo isn't Lemire.

Photo believed to have been taken
in 1992.

But who is the person pictured with Zundel? No one seems to have known who he was. Recently though a new friend who has intimate knowledge of the racist movement in Toronto in the early 1990s was able to identify the mystery man:

The person in the photo behind Zundel is named Mike [Geddick]. He lived in Brampton and started a small group of idiots (15 max) who paraded around in brown shirts and modelled themselves after Mussolini. He hated Burdi and considered himself a main rival to the COTC guys (lol). And everybody laughed behind his back.

PS Marc [Lemire] was kissing Grant [Bristow's] and Ernst's asses at the time. 

Consider this mystery, such as it was, solved.

More from our new friend later.

Quoted In Media Matters

Blowing our own horn time. The fine folks at Media Matters For America were kind enough not only to use some material from our blog, but actually attribute it to us by providing the link to the article in question:

[Craig] Cobb began living in Kalispell in the summer of 2010 after being kicked out of Estonia and then charged with hate crimes in Canada, where he remains a wanted man. (Cobb has dual U.S.-Canadian citizenship.)  In September 2010 Cobb and Harp co-hosted a PLE movie screening of a Holocaust denial film at the Kalispell Public Library.

The article at Media Matters is as fascinating as it is disturbing. We encourage our readers to give it a read.

Occupy Movement: Free Speech For Me, But Not For Thee

Oh, how we loves us our Free Dominion!

The folks at Free Dominion present themselves as principled defenders of speech. This is, on the surface, a noble sentiment. Principled men and women from Voltaire to Gerry Spence have defended speech that they personally found abhorrent, but that they still believed was necessary to defend for the sake of everyone's freedoms.

The folks at Free Dominion are not Voltaire or Gerry Spence. They aren't even a poor man's Lenny Bruce or George Carlin (NSFW, FYI), though the members are often inadvertently funny.
