Ugandan Immigrant Spreading AIDS -- Now this One May Actually Deserve "Dangerous Offe |

*Ugandan Immigrant Spreading AIDS -- Now this One May Actually Deserve "Dangerous Offender" Designation* ** For two years, the Canadian Association for Free Expression has adopted the cause of Michelle Erstikaitis. We believe government efforts to declare her a"dangerous offender" -- meaning potentially life in prison --were based on her White Nationalist politics -- a member of several skinhead groups, a participant and poster on STORMFRONT and, most of all for her having written to Timothy McVeigh, when she was still a teenager, urging him to die bravely like a soldier. Miss Erstikaitis, now 31, is no angel, but she is no desperado or evil menance to Canadian society. However, the incredibly harsh and extraordinary punishment meted out to her made her, in our opinion, a political prisoner. Her initial offences occurred during her later troubled teen years. She made threatening calls to Brenda Mahaffy, mother of Paul Bernardo victim, Lesley Mahaffy. She had developed a good girl/bad boy infatuation for the handsome Bernardo. Also, in despair over a failed romance, she set her room on fire. This clumsy suicide attempt did not involve trying to hurt others. She was charged with arson. For the two offences, she was severely punished and designated as a "long-term offender," which meant 10 years of restrictions and many years of half-way houses. She has not repeated offences of the sort. Her subsequent offences have consisted of breach or probation and a domestic assault -- he shoved, she shoved -- where no one was hurt. The sclerotic Ontario justice system warehoused her for 27 months while facing the domestic assault charge! She should have gotten bail. While in prison, she assaulted a guard. In early April, she was given time served plus 7 days for these minor offences and then slapped with the "dangerous offender" designation. The "dangerous offender" designation is a life-long millstone around a person's neck and can and usually does result in unlimited incarceration AFTER the offender has fully served his sentence,. ** *"*Since 1978 there have been 522 people designated as dangerous offenders. As of April 25 there were 441 "active" designated offenders. According to the Correctional Service of Canada, 419 are incarcerated, 18 are being supervised in the community, one has been deported, one is on temporary detention, one is on bail and one has escaped." (*Canadian Press*, May 11, 2011) Miss Erstikaitis has been forced into this nasty club, albeit as one with limited freedom , one of the 18 being supervised in the community.. Contrast her limited and long past offences with those of Johnson Aziga, a two time killer whom the Crown is seeking to have desingated as a "dangerous offender." "A man believed to be the first in Canada convicted of murder through HIV transmission expresses little remorse for his numerous victims and blames an undescended testicle for his current situation, court heard Tuesday. The Crown is seeking a dangerous offender designation for Johnson Aziga, 54, who was convicted in April 2009 of two counts of first-degree murder, 10 counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of attempted aggravated sexual assault. A dangerous offender can be jailed indefinitely. Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Philip Klassen, called by the Crown at the dangerous offender hearing, said Aziga ascribed his actions to a number of issues, but placed 'a great deal of weight' on having a genital defect. 'I asked Mr. Aziga why he thought he found himself where he was and he reported that his difficulties have root in the fact that he was born with one undescended testicle,' Klassen testified. 'He said that because of this abnormality he hid sexual information about himself all his life.' Even his ex-wife and longtime girlfriend did not know about his undescended testicle, Klassen said. Aziga's convictions relate to 11 women with whom he had unprotected sex and did not tell them he had the virus that causes AIDS. Seven of the women became infected, with two dying of AIDS-related cancers." (*Canadian Press*, May 11, 2011) Apparently, this poorly screened Ugandan immigrant's undescended testicle did not affect the activity of his extended penis! He is unrepentant and showed, by repeatedly having unprotected sex with many women, that he had no respect for a medical order requiring him to inform partners of his condition and take precautions and no concern for the death and mayhem he is spreading. He deserves the dangerous offender designation. He is a menace to society, unlike Miss Erstikaitis who long ago outgrew the misguided infatuations of her troubled youth that led her to her youthful crimes which have not been repeated but which continue to haunt her, And,then, there's Walford Uriah Steer, a Jamiacan illegal, already once deported from Canada who snuck back in. His record includes nine convictions for violence, three convictions for assault, two convictions for assaulting a peace officer, four theft convictions, two convictions for break and entry and four fraud convictions. (*Toronto Sun*, April 9, 2011) His 76 convictions -- 76! -- apparently did not move authorities to have him dsignation as a dangerous offender. In fact, the government is still blundering about trying to effect his moval from Canada. This all makes the "dangerous offender" designation of Michelle Erstikaitis seem excessive and, as we've argued, motivated by her politics, not actions. Paul Fromm Director CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR FREE EXPRESSION *Man guilty of HIV transmission murderer blames problems on undescended testicle* at 00:05 on May 11, 2011, EDT. Allison Jones, The Canadian Press HAMILTON - A man believed to be the first in Canada convicted of murder through HIV transmission expresses little remorse for his numerous victims and blames an undescended testicle for his current situation, court heard Tuesday. The Crown is seeking a dangerous offender designation for Johnson Aziga, 54, who was convicted in April 2009 of two counts of first-degree murder, 10 counts of aggravated sexual assault and one count of attempted aggravated sexual assault. A dangerous offender can be jailed indefinitely. Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Philip Klassen, called by the Crown at the dangerous offender hearing, said Aziga ascribed his actions to a number of issues, but placed "a great deal of weight" on having a genital defect. "I asked Mr. Aziga why he thought he found himself where he was and he reported that his difficulties have root in the fact that he was born with one undescended testicle," Klassen testified. "He said that because of this abnormality he hid sexual information about himself all his life." Even his ex-wife and longtime girlfriend did not know about his undescended testicle, Klassen said. Aziga's convictions relate to 11 women with whom he had unprotected sex and did not tell them he had the virus that causes AIDS. Seven of the women became infected, with two dying of AIDS-related cancers. During nine hours of interviews with Aziga, Klassen said "on occasion" the offender made mention of remorse, but he "invested a good deal more energy into defending his position and attributing his difficulties to external factors than taking responsibility for what happened or expressing concern for the victims." Klassen reported that at one point Aziga told him he has had between 25 and 30 sexual partners in his life, and at a different time in the interview he said the number was between 50 and 100. Aziga, who had been aware of his HIV-positive status since 1996, was issued a public health order in 2002 to use condoms and disclose his HIV status to sex partners. He said he didn't because he was afraid he'd be rejected — feelings similar to those he had in regards to the undescended testicle, Klassen said. The absence of one or both testicles from the scrotum — known as cryptorchidism — can lead to several complications if left untreated, including fertility issues, tumours and psychological problems. Aziga's failure to disclose wasn't about wanting to harm the women, nor was it about vindictiveness or anger at having HIV, Klassen said. Aziga did say if he had been angry or vindictive he "could have harmed many more women," Klassen said. Poor counselling was also a factor, according to Aziga, a Ugandan immigrant. He said if he had been counselled properly he would have been able to disclose his status to his sexual partners, Klassen said, adding he thought Aziga was referring to cultural factors. In general, Klassen described Aziga as "defiant and self-righteous" with some narcissistic qualities. "There was a vigour there as though he was trying to free a country," Klassen said. Because Aziga's case is an unusual one and there are so many different factors at play, Klassen said he could not assess a likelihood of Aziga reoffending, but that he could pose a "substantial" risk. Aziga's lawyers suggested several factors they said speak to less of a risk, including that due to medication, Aziga's viral load is currently close to zero and nearly undetectable, and that by the time he might be parolled he will be quite old, with a much-reduced libido. They also suggested wide publicity of Aziga's case may have made disclosure somewhat of a moot point. Under the Criminal Code, a person convicted of a "serious personal injury offence," and found at a sentencing hearing to pose an ongoing risk, can be imprisoned for an indeterminate period. A dangerous offender can first apply for parole after seven years. After that, the person can apply again every two years. If the parole board never determines the offender is fit for release, he will stay in prison for the rest of his life. Aziga, a former research analyst with Ontario's Ministry of the Attorney General and a father of three, has been in custody since his arrest on Aug. 30, 2003. Since 1978 there have been 522 people designated as dangerous offenders. As of April 25 there were 441 "active" designated offenders. According to the Correctional Service of Canada, 419 are incarcerated, 18 are being supervised in the community, one has been deported, one is on temporary detention, one is on bail and one has escaped. |

A Tribute to Canada's Folly: More Racist Mayhem by Trudeau's Pal Robert (The Pro-North Korean) Mugabe Mike Campbell Mike Campbell, who died on April 6 aged 78, of injuries sustained during torture by Zanu-PF militants in 2008, was a white Zimbabwean farmer who dared to challenge President Robert Mugabe’s “land redistribution” policy in the courts — and won. 7:06PM BST 08 Apr 2011 59 Comments<http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/politics-obituaries/8439131/Mike-Campbell.html#disqus_thread> A documentary film about the case and its tragic aftermath, Mugabe and the White African (2010), made by the British film-makers Lucy Bailey and Andrew Thompson during clandestine visits to Zimbabwe, brought the plight of white Zimbabwean farmers and their farm workers to world attention, winning numerous awards. [image: Mike Campbell] Mike Campbell (in the beige cardigan) and Ben Freeth (in green) with some of their workers Michael Campbell was born on a farm at Klerksdorp, South Africa, in 1932 into a family which had farmed in Africa since 1713. After leaving school he served in the South African Army and was involved in the early 1970s in the bush war between Rhodesia’s white rulers and black independence fighters. He decided to move to Rhodesia in 1974, attracted by its excellent hunting and fishing. He bought Mount Carmel farm in the Chegutu district and, after the country became independent as Zimbabwe in 1980, purchased a neighbouring farm. Together with his son-in-law, Ben Freeth, he worked hard to make it profitable, planting mangoes, citrus trees, maize, tobacco and sunflowers, establishing a herd of Mashona/Sussex cattle and dedicating a large area to a wildlife reserve, complete with herds of giraffe, impala and other animals. Their Biri River Safari Lodge became a popular tourist destination. Campbell was described as a model employer, and by the end of the 1990s Mount Carmel farm was the largest mango producer in Zimbabwe, helping to generate much-needed export earnings. The farm sustained the livelihoods of more than 500 people, and in 1999 it was legally transferred into a family company by a “certificate of no interest” from the Mugabe government. In 2000, however, after losing a referendum called to approve a new constitution that would entrench his power, Mugabe began encouraging the violent invasion of the country’s white-owned commercial farms, presenting the policy as a “redistribution” of land to the poor and as a triumph over greedy white imperialists. In reality the policy, spearheaded by a ragbag army of armed thugs — the so-called “war veterans” — was a ruse to cement Mugabe’s hold on power through the distribution of patronage. It thus became a scramble for the plum, mainly (though not exclusively) white-owned, estates among the country’s elite, most of whose members had little interest in farming. Beneficiaries have included Mugabe’s relatives, along with generals, judges, provincial administrators, ministers and MPs — and even MPs’ girlfriends. The consequences have been disastrous. Zimbabwe was once one of the most agriculturally rich countries in Africa; now more Zimbabweans rely on international food aid than in famine-struck Ethiopia. The “war vets” arrived at Mount Carmel farm in 2000. “About 20 or 30 turned up and I gave them a shed to live in because I told them I don’t want you chopping my trees to build your huts,” Campbell recalled. After a year with Campbell refusing to leave, they moved off on to adjoining land owned by his son Bruce. From there they made regular forays to Mount Carmel. The safari lodge was burned down, wildlife was poached or slaughtered and cattle stolen. After getting no redress from the Zimbabwean courts, Campbell made legal history in 2007 when he decided to challenge Mugabe’s land seizures in the region’s highest court, the inter-governmental Southern African Development Community (SADC) Tribunal which sits in Namibia. The following March an additional 77 white farmers joined the case. In November 2008 the tribunal condemned the seizures as “racist” and theft on a grand scale. The farmers could keep their land, it ruled, because the redistribution programme was discriminatory and was not being implemented according to the rule of law. But before the judgment, on June 29 2008, just two days after the Zimbabwean presidential run-off election, Campbell, his wife and his son-in-law were abducted and taken to a remote militia camp where they were tortured for nine hours. Campbell sustained severe head injuries, broken ribs and damage to his lower limbs caused by “falanga” (a method of torture which involves beating the soles of the feet). His wife Angela was forced to sign a piece of paper promising the family would not continue their court battle. Then they were driven off again and dumped on the roadside, from where they were rushed to hospital. Despite their injuries, the Campbells refused to throw in the towel — though Mike Campbell was so badly battered he could not attend the tribunal’s final hearing. Ben Freeth, whose skull was fractured, attended in a wheelchair, his head swathed in bandages. The ruling, when it came, was a Pyrrhic victory. Constant attacks on their farm workers, theft of farm equipment and the destruction of crops drove Campbell and Freeth to return to the tribunal in 2009 to obtain a contempt order against the government. Although President Mugabe had signed the treaty establishing the tribunal, he has dismissed its findings in the white farmers’ case as “nonsense”. A government document distributed soon after the ruling promised that the evictions would continue. Campbell, a gruff, dignified man who described himself as a white African, remained phlegmatic in the face of danger. In one memorable scene in Mugabe and the White African, the Campbells are seen enjoying a sundowner in their farmhouse when news comes through that an armed militia gang has been spotted by farm staff. As he lifts his whisky glass to his lips, Mike tells his wife there is no point getting excited. “I’ll go out there when I have finished my drink.” In April 2009 the Campbells and Freeths were driven from Mount Carmel Farm by a rampaging mob led by Nathan Shamuyarira, an octogenarian member of Mugabe’s politburo. The farmhouse was subsequently burned to the ground, along with the homes of 60 workers and a small linen factory set up by Mrs Freeth to provide employment for the farmers’ wives. The Campbells, aged 76 and 68, decamped, penniless, to what they hoped would be temporary accommodation in Harare. In the documentary, Peter Chamada, the son of Nathan Shamuyarira, is seen arriving on Campbell’s farm in his shiny new luxury Toyota Prado, taking photographs on an expensive mobile phone. “This land is now my home,” he declares into the camera. “The government has taken it from you people to redistribute to the poor black majority. This land belongs to the black peasants.” Campbell clung to the hope that he might recover his land, and last month — with an elderly black farmer Luke Tembani, who had also been dispossessed — he lodged an application with the SADC Tribunal for an order that would ensure the Tribunal would continue to function, after the SADC heads of state decided last year to suspend its operations pending a review of its role. This move was widely seen as a response to the tribunal’s ruling in Campbell’s case and thus a show of support for Mugabe by governments in the region. Mike Campbell is survived by his wife, Angela, and by their son and two daughters. His farm, meanwhile, is derelict, the land reverting to African bush. |
