Dieudonne Done in By Jewish Lobby: Shows Cancelled in Montreal

Dieudonne M'bala M'bala is a bit of an odd duck. He's a French
comedian and satirist. Born of a White woman from Brittany and a Negro
father from the Cameroons, he had a solid middle class upbringing. His
humour is fearless and he has run into pressure from, get this,
militant anti-racists and the Zionist censors. He has even welcomed
revisionist historian Robert Faurisson and former Front National
leader Jean-Marie LePen to his performances and invited them to be
recognized on stage. He has performed to considerable acclaim on
previous occasions in Montreal and Quebec City. He was scheduled for
four shows in Montreal this week, Once again Canada's self-styled
thought police have decided whom Canadians can and cannot hear. The
Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, successor to the Canadian Jewish
Congress, raised an unholy ruckus and Dieudonne's Montreal appearance
was quickly cancelled.

The Israel First National Post (May 9, 2012) gave the issue publicity
when the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs' letter campaign did not
seem to be working. " In Europe, the humour of Dieudonné M’bala
M’bala has come to be seen as so toxic that public venues regularly
shun him. On Tuesday, pressure from local authorities forced the
French comic to scrap a show in Brussels. A performance in March is
under investigation by Belgian police as possible anti-Semitic hate
speech. Last year, the mayor of Angers in France blocked Dieudonné,
as he is known, from using an auditorium there, forcing him to perform
outdoors on the city outskirts.

But in Montreal, the city’s largest concert promoter has rented a
prime downtown theatre to Dieudonné for four performances next week
of the same show under investigation in Belgium. And tickets are going
fast. In a letter last month to the promoter Evenko, which is part of
the Montreal Canadiens operation, the Centre for Israel and Jewish
Affairs, questioned why the company was providing Dieudonné wih a
stage at the Corona Theatre.
'It is well-known that Dieudonné’s trademark is not humour but
hatred toward Jews,' Luciano Del Negro, the organization’s
vice-president (Quebec) wrote. 'That is why the French courts have on
several occasions found him guilty of inciting hatred.' Mr. Del Negro
said established promoters now steer clear of Dieudonné to such an
extent that “he is reduced to playing in his own theatre or in
obscure performance halls.”

The letter noted that Dieudonné’s current show, Rendez-nous Jésus
(Give us back Jesus), has been branded 'a long litany of anti-Semitic
comments' in the Belgian press. An article in Le Soir in March said it
featured Holocaust denial, slurs against the Talmud and the comment
that Hitler was 'a nice boy.'”

Asking a Canadian company to invoke the same sort of brutal
censorship policies as France would seem to violate Anglo-Saxon
attachment tp free speech, to say nothing of prejudging an artistic
performance on the basis of what the French comedian might say.

The National Post story continued: "David Ouellette, associate
director of public affairs for the Centre for Israel and Jewish
Affairs, said Evenko acknowledged in a letter last week that it had
made an error in renting its theatre to Dieudonné.

'They told us it was clearly not their intent to offer a tribune to
any form of racism or anti-Semitism,' Mr. Ouellette said. 'They
pledged that they would be reviewing the process by which they deal
with foreign artists like this, that they would be more vigilant in
the future.'

Ostracized from the mainstream, Dieudonné now thrives on portraying
himself as a victim of Jewish groups and authorities. Announcing the
cancellation of the Brussels show on his web page Tuesday, he said the
Belgian government 'decided to put its foot down and ban me from the
capital at all costs.' On Wednesday, he announced plans to move the
cancelled show to another location and accompanied it with a photo of
him with the hat and braids of an orthodox Jew.

The letter of complaint from the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs
to Evenko was passed along to Dieudonné, and he posted it on his
Facebook page, complete with contact information for Messrs. Del Negro
and Ouellette. 'Montreal. I’m coming!!!' he wrote. 'Shame on the
association below that again today calls the Corona Theatre
incessantly to try to have my show cancelled.'

The comments from his fans that followed included a number of
anti-Semitic remarks. Mr. Ouellette said he and Mr. Del Negro received
'several threatening emails and hateful messages' after their letter
appeared on Facebook.
Evenko said it could not cancel its rental to Dieudonné."

So, Evenko remained committed to the extraordinary practice of
honouring a contract.

Well, not for long. In fact, the commitment survived barely 48 hours
after the publicity blast. Long-time observers of the tenuous
commitment of Canada's business establishment to such old fashioned
principles as freedom of speech in the face of negative publicity
engineered by the thought control forces of the Jewish lobby might
have predicted that the resolve would not last long. They were right.

Today's National Post (May 14, 2012 ) reported abject capitulation to
censorship and thought control. "Evenko, the company announced Friday
it was revoking its rental agreement with the French comic. 'Due to
contractual conflicts, the Corona Theatre has decided to cancel
Dieudonné’s performances scheduled for May 14, 15, 16 and 17,'
Evenko said in a statement. It did not elaborate on the nature of the
conflicts and company representatives did not return messages."

Needless to say the Zionist censors were pleased. The National Post
report continued: “'We are satisfied that with this development,
Dieudonné and like-minded individuals will receive the message that
in Quebec, hateful agitation is not deserving of an honourable
platform,' Mr. Del Negro said. 'While we support freedom of
expression, we have a responsibility to relegate anti-Jewish rantings
and all expressions of hatred and racism to the margins of
society.'” They support freedom of expression? Of course, they do
but only for themselves and those who think like them.

Another Jewish group long associated with attacks on free speech also
was ecstatic: "'We are happy that Evenko and Corona Theatre management
have decided to remove the public platform from this individual who
spreads racism under the guise of humour, and to recognize that such
conduct is unacceptable in Quebec,'Moïse Moghrabi, president of the
League for Human Rights for B'nai Brith in Quebec, said in a
statement." (Montreal Gazette, May 14, 2012)

Last week Bob Hepburn of the Toronto Star (May 9, 2012) wrote a puff
piece about a new institute trying to figure out why there are
negative feelings toward Jews, misnamed "anti-Semitism." "When
Catherine Chatterley was growing up in Winnipeg, the first serious
book she read was The Diary of Anne Frank (
http://www.annefrank.org/en/Anne-Franks-History/The-diary-of-Anne-Frank/
). ... 'I was in shock,' Chatterley recalls. 'I couldn’t understand
how a girl like Anne Frank could be perceived as a threat to
Germany.”'

For Chatterley, who was raised in a devout Lutheran home, the famous
book sparked a lifelong fascination with the Jewish people, the
Holocaust and anti-Semitism.
That fascination has prompted Chatterley, an adjunct history professor
at the University of Manitoba, to develop the first academic institute
in Canada to focus on the study of anti-Semitism, which she says is a
persistent — and in some parts of the world flourishing — problem
facing Jews today. 'There is a void in academia, our universities and
our human rights discourse” when it comes to the study of
anti-Semitism, she said in a telephone interview from Winnipeg, where
the Canadian Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism (
http://can-isa.com/ ) (CISA) is based."

Actually, one wonders why she even claims to seek for an answer. She
already has formed a conclusion: "In Chatterley’s view,
anti-Semitism is the historic product of the Christian accusation that
Jews killed Christ. 'Its origins are theological, which is why it has
lasted so long' and is known as 'the longest hatred,' she says."

Instead of blaming the poor Christians, Chatterley might look at
incidents like the silencing of Dieudonne. Perhaps, people get fed up
when spokesmen for a certain group consistently try to silence people
they don't like and control whom we get to see and hear. The Zionist
lobbyists are Canada's foremost proponents of censorship. Can you
remember the last time a spokesman for Canadian Scots or Icelanders,
if there even are such spokesman, demanded that this or that comedian
be silenced for saying unkind things about their group?

Arthur Topham Arrested on "Hate" Charges

Arthur Topham Arrested on "Hate" Charges

Arthur Topham is an engaging and personable free thinker living in Quesnel,
British Columbia. For years, he has been the editor of *The Radical Press*,
first as a newsletter, and then as a blog. He started, as he'd admit, as
someone on the left in the hippie scene in the 1970s. However, he was
always passionately attached to freedom of speech. About a decade ago, he
championed Ernst Zundel during the horrific assault by the Canadian Human
Rights Commission on the Zundelsite and, later, during his persecution
under the now utterly discredited "national security certificate" hearings,
which resulted in the deportation of the dissident publisher, then a landed
immigrant, to Germany and a five year prison term of doubting the Hollywood
version of World War II. He earned the denunciations of some of his former
leftist friends for his principled defence of free speech.

Over the years, Arthur became increasingly outspoken about the vile
influence of the Zionist lobby in Canada. Not surprisingly, retaliation and
an effort to gag Mr. Topham followed in short order. Organized Zionists
have consistently sought to silence, jail or have fired anyone who
questions their views. Dissent means human rights complaints, jail or
unemployment. The list of the victims of the Zionists is long: eccentric
John Ross Taylor, publisher Ernst Zundel, gentle school teacher Malcolm
Ross, journalist and war hero Doug Collins, yours truly and many others.

Just this week, French comic Dieudonne M'bala M'bala was denied a Montreal
concert venue after ferocious lobbying by the Centre for Israel and Jewish
Affairs and, of course, loudly applauded by the League for Human Rights
(that doesn't include free speech) of B'nai Brith.

In 2008, Harry Abrams, long-time Victoria operative for the League for
Human Rights of B'nai Brith, launched a Sec. 13 (Internet censorship)
complaint against Mr. Topham for some of his postings. The Canadian
Association for Free Expression intervened on Mr. Topham's behalf. After
Marc Lemire's historic victory, September 2, 2009, when Sec. 13 was
declared unconstitutional by a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, the Tribunal
looking into the Topham complaint was adjourned *sine die*.

Sadly, that didn't mean the end of the judicial persecution of this brave
man who has continued to champion victims of persecution. Earlier this
week, Arthur was arrested and charged with "hate", under Sec. 319 of the
Criminal Code, Canada's notorious "hate" law. Arthur's friend Hans Krampe
reports:

'Arthur Topham, publisher of the Radical Press website, was arrested on May
16, 2012, at 11:30 am on the Barkerville Highway near Quesnel, B.C., put in
handcuffs and taken to jail. Apparently, Arthur’s home had been staked out
for quite some time by the RCMP.
The warrant for his arrest read “commission of hate crimes”.

While in jail, Arthur’s house was raided and his computer equipment
confiscated, including all his files. During the raid, Shasta, Arthur’s
wife, wasn’t allowed into her home for 9 hours. Once the RCMP had taken
what they wanted -- we wonder where the bugs are now hidden -- and finished
questioning Arthur, he was released at 11:00 pm.

Arthur is now back home again, but prohibited from sending ANY emails or
expressing any opinions about the issues all too familiar to us. In other
words, freedom of speech, which he so passionately fights for, has now been
stymied by unconstitutional somersaults, technically and “legally” muzzling
him, for the time being. Without compunction, might is right in Canada.

Arthur advises NOT to send him any emails, since those would only wind up
at the RCMP instead. What Arthur would like to have send to him -- by snail
mail etc. -- is money, since he is -- always has been -- chronically broke.
It would help to defray some of the legal expenses he will now incur.
Arthur has asked *Doug Christie*, prominent defence lawyer in the Ernst
Zündel case, for legal assistance and Doug agreed to help him without
hesitation. -- Hans Krampe"

In an interview this evening, Douglas Christie, the Battling Barrister,
confirmed that he will be acting for the the freethinker in the Cariboo.
We're still waiting for the specifics of the charges.

The persecution of Arthur Topham follows the model of the suppression of
pro-free speech dissent practised by professional censors and the Zionist
lobby and enabled by the laws of Canada. One route is to tie the dissident
up in a lengthy and costly "human rights" hearing. This happened to Terry
Tremaine. Next, charge them under the Criminal Code for "hate." The police
raid you and seize (steal) your computer. [Don't count on ever getting it
back. When this happened to lecturer Terry Tremaine, CAFE raised money and
replaced it within 10 days.] The goal is to take away the resources that
allow an Internet dissident to function. After some time, the dissident is
charged. Then, a pliant judge imposes bail conditions that involve
silencing the dissident. In Mr. Topham's case, he is not allowed to use
e-mail.

Note that the victim is silenced even though the charges have not been
heard. This is turning Anglo-Saxon justice on its head. We presume a person
innocent until proven guilty.

Arthur is not well off. He has spent thousands of dollars on fighting the
now shelved Canadian Human Rights complaint. People who might like to send
messages of support or financial assistance to Arthur Topham can reach him
at the following address:

*Arthur Topham,*
*4633 Barkerville Hwy.,*
*Quesnel, BC.,*
*V2J 6T8*
