Still clutching the blankie: Ezra Levant calls this Canadian Jewish News article about the HRC controversy “a surprising story” (since the CJN, an official mouthpiece of Official Jewry, is usually disinclined to wade into this type of controversy). I don’t know that I’d call it “surprising”; given the uproar over HRCs and how heavily invested the Jewish alphabet agencies (CIJA, CJC, CFSW, etc.) are in the system, it would be more “surprising” if the CJC failed to cover the kerfuffle (since it would end up calling its journalistic integrity into question). Also not “surprising”: despite their feeling the heat of exposure and calling for the anti-hate sections of the system to be revamped so that the likes of Elmo and his sock thingies don’t get to censor us, the Jewstablishment still refuses to drop their tattered security blankie—the “anti-hate” provisions that enable Jews to censor decrepit, incontinent Nazis and Aryan bloggers.

Two out of the three Jewish organizations most closely identified with the anti-hate system (the CJC and the B’nai Brith) have adopted what amounts to a Bob the Builder approach (“Can we fix ‘em? Yes, we can”) But one Official Jew—Wiesenthal’s Leo Adler—is adamant that the rickety apparatus must remain more or less as is:

…Leo Adler, director of national affairs for the Friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, agreed the federal human rights legislation could be improved, but he argued Canadians have chosen to adopt a European model of restricted free speech and not the more open American model.

Asked to comment on Levant’s argument that the process in itself is the punishment given the costs needed to defend against a complaint, Adler replied, “We live our entire lives under ABCs – agencies, boards and commissions – that govern different aspect of our lives.” Lawsuits, police investigations and other legal matters might require an individual to incur costs by hiring a lawyer, he said.

He said that every genocide, including the Holocaust, started with words. “We don’t want words that have the potential for causing these catastrophes.”…

Wrong, wrong, wrong. The Holocaust didn’t “start” with words; rather, the “words” were harnessed to a specific political agenda by a megalomaniac who was obsessed with “the Jews” and how they were befouling the planet, and who took it upon himself to rid the world of the "scourge" so that the “pure” people—his people—could gain global power and rule for at least a millennium.

You would think someone who claims to be an expert in the Holocaust would know that.

But maybe what’s going on here isn’t merely a desire to “stop” the “words” that “start” the genocides. Maybe it’s also about someone whose bread and butter is the anti-hate industry and all the delightful perks that come with it (the accolades; the cushy government appointments; the lavish conferences both here and abroad, etc.) being bound and determined to hang on to what he believes are his entitlements.
