Canadian Publisher Persecuted for Mindcrime
There are 3 videos here of an interrogation conducted by the Canadian Human Rights Commission. They are interrogating Ezra Levant, publisher of The Western Standard and the man who published the “Mohammed” cartoons in Canada.
A comment from Belmont Club:
“They said inquisitions couldn’t happen in North American. Certainly not in the 21st century. But they have. Whether or not Ezra Levant is declared “innocent” or “guilty” by the Canadian Human Rights Commission of publishing the “Mohammed Cartoons” is beside the point. What is at issue is whether or not a Canadian government agency has the competence to punish someone for what in saner times would be considered a routine exercise in free speech. It is the legitimacy of the Canadian Human Rights Commission that is on trial here. They themselves are in the dock and they have put themselves there.
Some more comments here.
My comment: Prof. Ward Churchill accused the workers in the NYC twin towers on 9/11 of being “little Eichmanns”. But Canada today has REAL “little Eichmanns”. You can see one in the video.
The original Eichmann was a Nazi bureaucrat who just sat in his office for most of the war but he accomplished great evil nonetheless — organizing the transport of Jews to the gas chambers.

Canada: Freedom of Speech succumbing to Kangaroo Courts of the Human Rights Commission
Proceedings against Ezra Levant are nothing short of ridiculous, but let’s consider the implications for moderate Muslims. This “investigation” will further divide Muslims and non-Muslims in Canada. It will give credence to radicals’ claims that the West is at war with Islam. It will antagonize non-Muslims and radicalize moderate Muslims. Regardless of the outcome, once again Islamists skillfully manipulated Dhimmi justice system and came out as clear winners. Thank you, Human Right Commission!
You know, we have an organization here in the States that would be the first to come to his defense, and would provide legal help. Too bad the ACLU doesn’t exist in Canada…….
