Notes from Canada

Eds.  As we track threats to our freedom of speech, here is an encouraging perspective for anyone hoping to raise awareness of the forces arrayed against us. It includes a response to the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Excerpts:

[Based on observations of how culture is transmitted in monkey groups, Dr. Ken Keyes Jr., author of The Hundredth Monkey,  concluded] "Thus, when a certain critical number achieves an awareness, this new awareness may be communicated from mind to mind. Although the exact number may vary, the Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon means that when only a limited number of people know of a new way, it may remain the consciousness property of these people. But there is a point at which if only one more person tunes-in to a new awareness, a field is strengthened so that this awareness reaches almost everyone!"...

…Timothy Leary was, in this sense, a prophet in his time. The number of Internet users is so vast and the information so quantitatively and qualitatively expansive that it has become the most stupendous, liberating, truly democratic and open communications system our world has ever known.

But, these positive aspects of the Internet do not bode well for everyone or for every institution that existed prior to its advent. The old, centralized state mentality, along with its controlled and complicit media system and its influence, are now being left behind in the digital dust so to speak as Internet users turn more and more to the Net and to alternate news sources and blogs to find a much greater and broader expanse of opinion and analysis when it comes to the presentation and understanding of current events and their underlying root causes….

…Nowhere are Canadians now seeing this looming struggle between the forces of the old and the new than in the present attempts by the Zionist-controlled League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada and the Canadian Jewish Congress to silence critics of both the state of Israel and Israel’s propaganda arms in this country of which they are the two main proponents. To these organizations the Internet is a clear and present danger to their past power and glory and they do not want that power and glory challenged and will use any means at their disposal to kill that Hundredth Monkey and keep the “new awareness” from reaching the people....

…The following lengthy “Response” to the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) and to the charges which Harry Abrams and the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada have brought against both myself and my website form the opening chapter in my personal encounter with these groups that I now wish to share with the cyber public. It is basically my analysis of how I perceive this looming battle, its various strategies and why it is now occurring. I hope that others can learn from my experiences and join with the numbers of growing individuals and groups and organizations from across the Canadian Internet community who are waking up to this imminent and challenging danger to our basic human right to open access to information….[more]
