The fugitive, who is facing a sentence in an American prison for conspiracy to commit money laundering, is in Toronto’s Metro West Detention Centre, an official there said Friday. He was picked up by members of the Toronto Police Fugitive Squad in downtown Toronto on Thursday and made an appearance at the Toronto Courthouse on University Avenue on Friday. Jacobson pleaded guilty to money laundering connected to an illegal online pharmacy in San Diego in 2008. But the plea was sealed while he helped investigators with their case and he travelled around the world, spending time with senior ministers in the Canadian government. Few knew about his trouble with American law enforcement until he failed to show up for a sentencing hearing in San Diego in July, at which point Judge Irma Gonzalez, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, issued a warrant for his arrest. At the time, Jacobson’s Canadian lawyer, Howard J. Wolch, said his client was in Asia on business, and asserting that he was unaware of any legal proceeding concerning him. Jacobson came back to Toronto, where he was taken into custody on Friday. CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian WyldJason Kenney in the foyer of the House of Commons Wednesday. Kenney was scheduled to appear with Jacobson at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto next month. Jacobson, who grew up in Winnipeg, has dual Canadian-Israeli citizenship, and until last year had a credit card clearing company in Tel Aviv, Paygea, which processed payments for online gaming sites and adult websites. Israeli media reports say that when the company ceased operations, it left creditors in the lurch. Jacobson is a prominent member of the Canadian Jewish community and has been a strong backer of the Conservative government. He was previously on the board of the Canada-Israel Chamber of Commerce and the Canada-Israel Committee. In May, 2009, he was master of ceremonies for a party celebrating the 61st anniversary of the founding of Israel in the West Block of Parliament Hill, introducing the keynote speaker, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Jason Kenney. He has travelled in Israel with Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird and is said to be friendly with both ministers. Both ministers have said they were unaware of his legal difficulties until they were reported by Postmedia News this summer. Next month, Kenney was scheduled to appear with Jacobson at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, where the minister will receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Haifa. Jacobson, who was to be the master of ceremonies, withdrew after his legal troubles became public. Jacobson is suing Mark Adler, the Conservative MP for York Centre. In his statement of claim, filed in October, 2011, Jacobson alleges that in 2009 and 2010 he loaned $265,000 to Adler and his Economic Club of America, an offshoot of the Economic Club of Canada, a firm Adler started to provide a forum for high-powered guest speakers in Toronto. Adler’s statement of defence, filed in January, says that Jacobson provided him with $114,962 in 2009 and 2010 “as a friendly gesture,” and did not expect to be paid back. In March, Jacobson was photographed with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The photo was taken at a reception in the Railway Room on the evening of March 2, 2012, where about 150 or 200 people gathered to greet the two prime ministers. From 2004 to 2011, Jacobson donated about $10,000 to the Conservative Party, including donations to the central party and to the riding associations of former MP Wajid Khan, Environment Minister Peter Kent and Labour Minister Lisa Raitt. He also donated $1,100 to to the federal NDP on election day in 2011. Jacobson is expected to make a court appearance this week. |
Harper Fawns and Flatters and Distorts Truth in Speaking to Jamaicans |

*Harper Fawns and Flatters and Distorts Truth in Speaking to Jamaicans* On Monday, Jamaican Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller paid a state visit to Ottawa. Canada has tourism, trade, agricultural., defence and aid relations with Jamaica. Less happily, Canada has a large number, about 230,000. many Jamaican immigrants here, While some have adapted and been hardworking people, a fair number are involved in multi-generational welfare collection and in violent youth gangs, practising the drug and gun culture they brought from the Islands. In fact, in Toronto, most of the victims and most of the perpetrators of the city's some 90 murders each year are Negroes, most Jamaican or Somali. Yet, Blacks constitute less than seven per cent of the city's population. Okay, a diplomatic visit requires the host, Prime Minister Harper, to be, well, diplomatic. Sure, accentuate the positive and say nice things about your visitor and her country. However, at a meeting with Jamaicans in Toronto spouted so much nonsense and outright lies, you'd think this prim man was high on Jamaican *ganga*. "Mr. Harper saluted the contribution of Jamaican-Canadians – and said they are being falsely blamed for Toronto’s gun crime. 'It has come to my attention that since July, many in this community, Toronto’s Jamaican-Canadian community, feel that they live in the shadow of criminality arising out of incidents like the Danzig Street and Eaton Centre shootings, Mr. Harper told a packed hall at the Jamaican-Canadian Association, in a multicultural suburban neighbourhood in north Toronto.'Canadians understand that the only community placed under a shadow by perpetrators of these crimes is the community of criminals.” 'People who came from Jamaica to Canada have come in search of a better life, and to contribute positively to our country, not to live in fear of street gangs and criminals.' Toronto has been rocked this year by shootings remarkable because of the numbers hit. In June, two people were killed and five injured in a shooting in the downtown Eaton Centre shopping mall; in July, two were killed and 23 wounded in a gun fight at a block party on suburban Danzig Street. The finger is often pointed – in some cases erroneously – at street gangs that include Jamaican-Canadian members. The community has long grappled with gun crime in its midst, however, and the decades-old stereotype that Jamaican-Canadians are involved in a disproportionate share of shootings." ( *Globe and Mail*, October 23, 2012) Where to start in this cornucopia of nonsense? "'People who came from Jamaica to Canada have come ... to contribute positively to our country." Really? Teeshawn is sitting by the beach eating *ackee* rice and salt cod and swigging back rum and he suddenly decides: " I shall leave this tropical paradise and head for the cold streets of Toronto to contribute positively to their country." Immigration is entirely selfish. No one picks up stakes and moves to a foreign country to better the host country. They go for a host of selfish reasons; for instance, some or ali of the following: economic opportunity, welfare, medicare, or an easier venue to pursue a criminal career Mr. "law and order" Harper is doing what so many liberal apologists have done about Negro crime for half a century -- offer Negroes alibis to excuse personal misconduct: blame slavery, blame "racism", blame White society! Jamaicans are not "falsely" blamed for Toronto gun violence. Of course, not all Jamaicans are violent drug pushers or gang members. No responsible person says they are. However, Jamaicans contribute a disproportionate number to the ranks the perpetrators and victims of gun violence. It is not a "decades-old stereotype that Jamaican-Canadians are involved in a disproportionate share of shootings." It is the truth. If anything, the politically correct press tends to play down the ethnic connection and often doesn't even mention the race of the perpetrator or victim. One often has to correlate several media accounts of the same killing to learn the identity of the victims and suspects. What is Harper really saying: that there are not a large number of Jamaican youth in these gangs? Is he suggesting it's all a media conspiracy, blaming Jamaican gangsters for gun violence, when the perpetrators are really Icelanders? It's all too silly for words, but it has a "feel-good" effect and encourages Jamaicans to avoid confronting their own problems, by providing them with an alibi. While Harper may win a few Jamaican votes with his flattery and implicit blame of others for crimes Jamaicans commit, he's doing nothing to effectively fight crime in Canada's Jamaican diaspora. Here are a few inconvenient considerations: * Illegitimacy is over 70 per cent among Blacks and Jamaicans in Canada. Illegitimacy is the single most reliable predictor for drug addiction, alcoholism, violence, dropping out from school, ending up in jail. What are Jamaican preachers and community leaders doing to read the riot act to their young people, especially the young males? What are they telling them about irresponsibly impregnating a large number of "baby mothers?" * While there are hardworking Jamaicans who hold jobs and pay taxes and succeed, there are also many welfare mamas whose children often follow their footsteps in the same government housing warrens, the girls becoming welfare mamas young in life with a series of partners and the boys joining gangs where they kill and are killed in numbers wildly out of proportion to their share of the population. What are Jamaican community leaders doing to insist that welfare, guns and promiscuity are not an acceptable "lifestyle" or cultural choice. Harper had the chance to tell the Jamaicans in Canada some hard truths. He didn't. Fair enough, he wanted to be diplomatic. Still, there was no reason to tell them lies that provided excuses not the face real problems.

Political Dissidents Treated More Harshly Than Traitors and Violent Criminals in Cana |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This email newsletter was sent to you in graphical HTML format. If you're seeing this version, your email program prefers plain text emails. You can read the original version online: http://ymlp309.net/zcQ1ZZ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Political Dissidents Treated More Harshly Than Traitors and Violent Criminals in Canada's Criminal Justice System Lina Wertmüller, born Arcangela Felice Assunta Wertmüller von Elgg Español von Braueich, is an Italian film director of aristocratic Swiss descent. A contemporary of Fellini's, Wertmüller was the first female director to be nominated for an Academy Award (four of them, in fact) for her seminal 1975 movie, Seven Beauties. A typical Wertmüller vehicle, the film explores northern v. southern Italian class issues, politics (Wertmüller's are guaranteed to offend everyone), love, machismo and an offbeat humour that makes you laugh out loud, in spite of yourself. The film's hapless protagonist is named Pasqualino Seven Beauties, for the seven sisters he feels obliged to marry off brilliantly for the sake of a much adored widowed mother. Dressed in linen, Pasqualino's progress through the streets of his village is a sustained seduction of every female he encounters: This one is chucked under the chin, that is proffered a rose, a third is whirled round in a dance step. And the women adore him right back. But Pasqualino's idyllic world comes off the rails in a stunning moment of reckoning -- he sees with his own horrified eyes -- his eldest sister performing in a burlesque review. The sister is huge; she has a prominent wen, a big nose and bigger jaw. Her stage attire is no-nonsense cantilevered vintage lingerie. Her grotesque stage routine nevertheless drives her male admirers wild with lust. The shame of it all blinds Pasqualino; he vows to kill her pimp. He does so in one of film's most memorably hilarious sequences; after almost insurmountable logistical problems, Pasqualino has finally portioned the dismembered body between three suitcases, when his burden arrests the attention of a passing seeing eye dog. After a really bad night, Pasquilino must now endure abuses from a blind man. We see Pasqualino later, as a felon. He encounters a fellow convict as they are transported to prison. Pasqualino boasts that he has received a sentence of 12 years for murder. His companion shrugs and replies that his sentence is set at forty years. Pasqualino gasps and says, "I killed a man in cold blood; I am an axe murderer. I dismembered a body and stuffed it into 3 suitcases destined for Rome, Padua and Brindisi. I'd have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for that dog. You might have heard of me, il monstro di Napoli? But 40 years - what on earth did you do??" His companion quietly says "I'm political." And so in Canada today. Consider: * Inveterate letter writer -- 1,,000 in 2o years -- Brad Love was charged with "hate" under Sec. 319 of Canada's Criminal Code. Yet, despite the offer of the $250,000 surety of his parents' house, he was unable to get bail on these non-violent charges. * More recently, for a mere breach of probation charge (writing letters and sending an information package to four pubic Jewish groups having acquired their permission), Brad had to post $22,000 cash bail and the surety of $110,000 on his sister's house. Yet, his lawyer remembered numerous gangbangers charged with attempted murder having gotten bail for under $100,000. It seems dangerous and dissenting ideas are treated more harshly than dangerous and deadly ACTIONS. *Terry Tremaine, also charged under the notorious Sec. 319, for posting controversial views on STORMFRONT.org, under the name Mathdoktor99, and for posting his views on his own website -- http://nspcanada.nfshost.com ( http://nspcanada.nfshost.com/ ), also located in another country, was gagged from January, 2008 until just this September. He was not allowed to post on these or any "White supremacist" website. Note, he had not yet been tried, let alone found guilty of thought crimes. Finally, this September, Judge Frederick Kovach gave him back his freedom and tossed out the charges * Perhaps,.the most puzzling and egregious victim is Arthur Topham, like Terry Tremaine a victim of a Richard Warman complaint. In January, 2008, , he was raided, his computer and firearms taken by the RCMP's British Columbia thought police, er "hate squad.." He was arrested and briefly jailed. To get out, he had to sign an "undertaking" to: * Surrender his firearms; * Not to post his political views on the Internet, especially on his freethinking, anti-Zionist radicalpress.com ( http://radicalpress.com/ ) website; * Not to communicate directly or indirectly with his tormentors, the complainants Harry Abrams of B'nai Brith, and Richard Warman What so mind blowing about the Topham case is that he has not even been charged. We are still trying to get an explanation about how it is possible to extract an "undertaking" when no charge has been laid, let alone any wrongdoing proved. The RCMP is still "investigating" and the Crown has yet to get the consent of the British Columbia Attorney General for a "hate charged" against the freethinker in the Cariboo. So, Arthur has been silenced for over five months. Hes been denied his guns even though he lives in bear country and actively prospects for gold in Grizzly territory. It's his livelihood. Now, let's consider a self-admitted Canadian traitor and spy. Sub.Lieutenant Jeffrey Delisle. this blob-faced employee of the Canadian Navy admits over a five year period to passing on a treasure trove of Canadian secrets for $3,000 a month to the Russians. These secrets were not only Canadian military secrets, but also secrets from the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service, the Privy Council, Transport Canada, the RCMP, and, most importantly, and most embarrassingly, secret intelligence from our allies. Our allies -- the U.S., Britain and Australia -- may be less likely to share or share fully intelligence with us. The result could be danger to Canadian soldiers in future missions and to Canadian citizens. He told interrogators "he sent over conversations gleaned from electronic surveillance as well a 'contact lists' of intelligence officials." (Globe and Mail, October 22, 2012) So, what's the damage assessment CSIS calls the result of Delisle's admitted treachery "severe and irreparable." The secretive Communications Security Establishment (CSE), which monitors electronic and radio communications in many other countries, assesses Delisle's damage to them as "high." The Navy's trinity Centre in Halifax, where Delisle worked, rates the damage to the Canadian Armed forces as "astronomical." The Department of National Defence terms his impact on them as "exceptionally grave." (Globe and Mail, Ibid.) And, yet, unlike Terry Tremaine or Arthur Topham, restricted and punished before ever being found guilty of anything, the already confessed spy who has done incalculable damage is given kid gloves treatment. The Globe and Mail (October 12, 2012) report: "SLt. Delisle will keep his rank and pay for now -- at least until a judge delivers a guilty verdict [now scheduled for January, 2013.] His title earns him a monthly salary of about $5,00 to $5,700," So, a confessed traitor and spy continues to collect salary and benefits, while an Internet dissident like Arthur Topham is stripped of his right to speak and the right to the weapons he needs to defend himself on the job. The impenetrable Canadian "justice" system truly is an ass!
