*Israel Lobby Cost Canada a Fortune in Business with Libya, Former Diplomat
Reveals*

September 24, 2011

*NATIONAL POST*

Dear Sir,

* *

*Missing the boat in Libya*

Your columnist Lee Bertiaume implies in his article "Libya open to Canada's
investment" (Sept. 14) that Canadian companies are more welcome in Libya
following the NATO-contrived regime change than under Ghadafi's rule,
therefore have gained from the aggression.. This is a false impression.

I visited Tripoli as an Overseas Project Development Officer employed by the
Federal Government in early 1970, shortly after the Revolution. I found the
new government extremely receptive to the idea of Canada becoming Libya's
trading partner of choice to replace the colonial powers who held
concessions granted by the sickly King Idris, enabling them to plunder the
country's resources. All, except Jewish-owned Occidental Petroleum, were
expelled by President Ghadafi.

I returned to Tripoli in 1972 after the new government was well-entrenched
and eager to negotiate in principle major joint ventures with Canadian
companies, including large-scale housing projects, an ocean shipping line
including tankers, a tire factory and other industrial plants, oil field
services including purchase of 20 DeHavilland Buffalo transport aircraft,
water projects, geophysical surveys, a 50/50 partnership in the newly-formed
Libyan National Exploration company to search for oil in Libya and adjoining
lands, and transfer of the former BP share of the Sarir field concessions to
Canadian hands. The BP share produced 300,000 barrels per day - almost 10
times the currently-hoped-for Suncor production mentioned in your article.

Having reached agreement in principle with the youthful Chairman of the
Libyan National Oil Company on the concession, I visited BP's Headquarters
in London, obtained their assurance of non-intervention and sent a telex to
the Department in Ottawa proudly announcing "mission accomplished" - in
financial terms by far the greatest achievement by any single Canadian
Government official, before or since.

I expected a hero's welcome but had not counted on the response of the
powerful pro-Israel faction in government whose main function apparently was
the sabotage of Canadian-Arab relations and promotion of goodwill towards
Israel. Far from commendation, I was greeted with a furor in the Department
bordering on hysteria. The Branch Director General, my titular superior,
was literally purple with rage (evidently he had been held responsible) and
ordered me to leave immediately and never return, saying he would approve
Sick Leave to legitimize my disappearance. I later discovered he had
secretly recommended my dismissal for alleged insubordination. I was
forbidden from passing on my information to Canadian companies.

Had the priceless, unprecedented offer of friendship and economic
cooperation in the formative years of the Revolution not been treacherously
rebuffed by the Lobby-driven Canadian Government of the time, Canada by now
would have been greatly enriched by the connection, while the possibility
for peaceful development in the region would have been greatly enhanced by
the moderating Canadian presence. Certainly a destructive military
re-conquest by the neo-colonial powers would no longer have been a plausible
threat.

As ever,

The Richard Warman Record

A foreign journalist recently wrote me for a background on complaints
filed by Richard Warman. As I began to knock off what I thought would
be a quick answer, I realized that I was working on a ponderous
compendium. Here is my answer.

Paul Fromm
CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR FREE EXPRESSION
FILING COMPLAINTS UNDER SEC. 13 (INTERNET CENSORSHIP) OF THE CANADIAN
HUMAN RIGHTS ACT

Warman filed Sec. 13 complaints under the Canadian Human Rights Act
for postings on the Internet against:

* Marc Lemire and the Freedomsite (website)

* Fred Kyburz
* Alexan Kulbashian and the Tri-City Skins
* Eldon Warman
* Glen Bahr and Western Canada for Us

* Al Kouba
* Jessica Beaumont
* Ciaran Donnelly
* Terry Tremaine
* Bobby James Wilkinson

* Tom Winnicki
* Melissa Guille and the Canadian Heritage Alliance
* Jason Ouwendyk and the Northern Alliance

(this is a partial list)
FILING LIBEL SUITS AGAINST CRITICS
Warman filed libel suits, usually for calling him a "censor" or
criticizing his anti-free speech activities against:

* David Icke, British New Age conspiracy commentator, for comments he
made about Warman in his book Children of the Matrix. A number of
other defendants, including Ottawa monetaru critic Tom Kennedy, who
had sold or marketed Children of the Matrix were added to this
lawsuit. This action has meandered on for almost a decade and, we
believe, is still at the discovery stage. A trial date will be set
soon.
* Paul Fromm and the Canadian Association for Free Expression -- found
guilty; Warman awarded $43,00 judgement
* Mark and Connie Fournier for postings on their website FreeDominion
-- 3 separate libel suits -- ongoing
* 7 "John Does" (people posting under pseudonyms) on Freedominion.ca.
Most .of these have been identified -- ongoing
* The National Post, Editor Jonathan Kay -- settled out of court
* Ezra Levant (journalist and lawyer) for criticizing his anti-free
speech activities -- ongoing

* Jason Bertucci -- ongoing

* Numerous medias outlets and individuals have been threatened with
defamation suits

(this is a partial list)
FILING CONTEMPT OF COURT COMPLAINTS THAT COULD LEAD TO THE VICTIM
BEING JAILED

Warman filed complaints of "contempt for court"; that is; failure to
obey a vague "cease and desist" gag order issued by the Human Rights
Tribunal against a victim after a successful Sec. 13 prosecution by
Warman
* against Tom Winnicki, who was sentenced to 9 months in jail
* against Terry Tremaine twice); the first complaint was adjourned
sine die in July, 2009; the second charge led to Mr. Tremaine's
acquittal in December, 2010; the Canadian Human Rights Commission is
appealing this decision and the complaint wil be heard Sept. 19 in
Vancouver
FILING "HATE" LAW COMPLAINTS

Warman filed complaints urging prosecution of "wilful promotion of
hate" under Sec. 319 of Canada's Criminal Code

* against Marc Lemire -- the police did not prosecute
* against Alexan Kulbashian and the Tri City Skins - the police did
not prosecute
* against Tom Wininicki -- the police did not prosecute
* against Glen Bahr -- he was charged; the charges were dismissed at
preliminary hearing when lawyer Doug Christie argued double jeopardy
citing the Wigglesworth decision in the Supreme Court of Canada
* against Ciaran Donnelly and Jessica Beaumont; their home was raided;
they were put out on the sidewalk in their pyjamas during the search;
the police seized computers and CDS. No charges were laid. The
computers were returned with their hard drives damaged and many of the
CDs wrecked.

* against Terry Tremaine; he was charged in 2008; he has been under a
bail gag order, not allowing him to post on White Nationalist or
National Socialist sites; a preliminary hearing went from Oct., 2009
to early 2011; the case has been bound over for trial in Regina, June,
2012

(This list may also be incomplete.)
GOING AFTER DISSIDENTS' EMPLOYMENT

Warman complained to Terry Tremaine's employer at the University of
Saskatchewan in 2005, more than a year before the Canadian Human
Rights complaint was adjudicated. He warned that he'd go to the press
and police unless "appropriate" action was taken. Mr. Tremaine, then
57, lost his job and career as a math instructor, was reduced to
poverty and was unable to hire an attorney to defend him in August
2006 against the Sec. 13 human rights charges.
TRYING TO REMOVE DISSIDENT'S MAILING RIGHTS
Warman filed a complaint with Canada Post against Eldon Warman of
Calgary (one of his Sec. 13 targets) for receiving mail at his lady
friend's post office box. Eldon Warman received a notice from Canada
Post advising him that no mail would be delivered to him or his De-tax
organization at that address.

APPLAUDING ASSAULT ON A DISSIDENT

* One of Warman's early targets was British New Age conspiracy writer
David Icke. Warman was part of a nation-wide campaign involving B'nai
Brith and others who sought to shut down Icke's author speaking tour
of Canada early in the 2000s. A British documentary shows Warman
joking with two goons who assaulted Icke by throwing a pie at him
during a book signing at Duthie's bookstore in Vancouver. At least one
complaint was filed about Warman's behaviour with the Law Society of
Upper Canada, but the complaint was dismissed.

THREATENING LIBRARIES FOR CARRYING DAVID ICKE's CHILDREN OF THE MATRIX

In 2002 and 2003, Richard Warman threatened libel suits against a host
of libraries in Ontario and British Columbia, demanding that they
purge their shelves of copies of David Icke's book Children of the
Matrix which he alleged defamed him. [This assertion had not then and
has not yet been determined by a Court of Law.]

Some libraries knuckled under; others hung tough. Eventually, British
Columbia amended its defamation laws to make libraries exempt from
libel actions flowing from the contents of the books they carry.

MOTIVES:

Warman delivered the keynote address to the August, 2005 meeting of
the violence-prone Anti-Racist Action group in Toronto., Warman's
address was entitled "Shutting down the neo-Nazis by (almost) any
means necessary" and discussed his multi-level programme of
complaints. He said, in part: "'The 'maximum disruption' part comes in
because wherever I think it will be most helpful, or even if I just
feel it will be the most fun, I strongly believe in hitting the
neo-nazis on as many of these fronts as possible either at the same
time or one after the other. I say this because it keeps them
off-balance and forces them to respond to things that focus their
energies on defending themselves ...'

Then, came aHuman Rights Tribunal civil cases {Sec. 13]. .. ‘The
goal was to knock out a generation of the neo-Nazi leadership and the
worst offenders, establish a solid body of case law, and show the
Internet was not the Wild West.”

These are his stated motives but they seem contradictory and
unconvincing. At the very least, Warman casts a wide net in defining
"neo-Nazis."

It must be noted that Warman's victims have included the Fourniers.
They and most of their circle at Freedominion are strong supporters of
Israel -- a rather odd form of "neo-Nazi." Ezra Levant is right of
centre. perhaps a bit libertarian and a supporter of free speech.
Again, it's hard to see him as a Jew and Zionist as being some sort of
"neo-Nazi." Indeed, only two of Warman's victims (the obscure Bill
Wilkinson and Terry Tremaine) even identify themselves as National
Socialists.

In 2007, Warman received the Saul Hayes Award from the Canadian Jewish
Congress for his "human rights work" in filing|"hate" complaints about
Internet users..

Earlier, he contributed a significant section to the 2005 B'nai Brith
Annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents. Free speech supporters have
been repeatedly thwarted at tribunals from discovering how much he was
paid for his writing and report.
