A Knapsack of Conservative Literature Scooped by Customs Censors

Is a speech by former U.S. Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) about Martin
Luther King “hate propaganda”? Some eager beaver censor wannabe at
Canada Customs or Canada Border Service Agency, as it is now called,
seems to think so. Activist Douglas Pearson was one of several
Canadians returning from the July 6-7 annual conference of the Council
of Conservative Citizens in Nashville, TN on July 8. He flew into
Toronto’s Island Airport. His knapsack was ransacked and searched.
What did the agent find? A pound of cocaine? A bag of smelly khat
leaves, so beloved by Toronto’s drug addled Somali youth? No,
nothing so dramatic. The agent found “literature.” When all was
said and done, the snoops haul included: the Frankfurt School, a dvd
produced by the Conservative Citizens Foundation; Communism With the
Mask Off, a speech delivered in Nurnberg on September 13, 1935 by Dr.
Joseph Goebbels; Pre-Emptive Ideology, Occasional Papers of the
Citizens’ Foundation, Issue #7; The King Holiday and its Meaning,
speech by Senator Jesse Helms, introduction by Samuel Francis; The
Citizens Informer, Vol. 45, No. 1 (newspaper published thrice yearly
by the Council of Conservative Citizens); The First Freedom, June,
2012, a newspaper; The Alabamian, May-June, 2012, a newsletter
published by the Alabama Council of Conservative Citizens and CoCC
Board member Leonard Wilson; and the Northwest Observer, Volumes #115
(February, 2012), #116 (March, 2012), and #117 (April, 2012),
published by long-time U.S. writer Harold Covington.

This seizure #2012-4952-K27-0013 was made, presumably because the
literature was considered “hate.” The suspect material then sent
off to the “Prohibited Importations Unit” at 150 Isabella St. in
Ottawa. If the material is deemed to fall under Classification D9-1-15
of the Custom Act – that is, “hate propaganda” – it will be
seized. The victim can appeal through the bureaucracy. If the appeal
is unsuccessful, the victim can take the matter to court. CAFÉ has
considered this latter course on several occasions, but the cost might
be $40,000 to salvage a $5 book. Should there be no appeal, “the
material will be destroyed 90 days after the date of determination.”
How are books destroyed? A good supporter of CAFÉ who had a copy of
David Duke’s Jewish Supremacism seized some years ago, was told by a
Customs officials that they were “burned.” So, our thought police
practise book burning in Canada.

CAFÉ has fought the censorship provisions of the Canada Customs Act
for 30 years. Persecutions and Customs censor vigilance wax and wane.
In one orgy of censorship madness in the late ‘90s, Paul Fromm had a
book bag with some 90 items, including Irish Fairy Tales, seized. He
got almost all of the books back in the end. However, the thought
policing powers of the Customs Act are an affront to free speech and
the seizure of one’s property for “determination” is a violation
of our rights to property, rights Trudeau’s Charter did not confer
on us. Many Canadians have been deceived by this Napoleonic piece of
sophistry. Anglo-Saxon law says the citizen has the right to do
anything, except what is expressly forbidden by laws. The Napoleonic
system says the citizen has only the rights conferred upon him by the
State, The Charter’s rights are bogus, all subject to such
“restrictions as are demonstrably justified in a free and democratic
society.” The continual gutting of our free speech rights under the
Charter shows how weak it is.

Yep, we're all equal. Do we want some of this "diversity" in North America or Europe?
