Idiotic, radical student unions using student funds to support the nutcase, so-called ``Canadian Peace Alliance``

From Karl Marx Was Wrong:

The Ryerson Students’ Union is a member of a highly controversial organization called the Canadian Peace Alliance (CPA).  The Canadian Federation of Students (and CFS-Ontario), the York Federation of Students, and the University of Toronto Students’ Union are also listed as CPA members.

The CPA is an organization with extremely radical views.  

A resolution on the agenda for the CPA’s upcoming convention from January 17-19 reads, “…Whereas North Korea has a program of peaceful reunification with the South, Whereas it is the U.S. at the head of NATO who is the real threat to peace on the Korean peninsula, Be it resolved that we will support the Korean people who are doing nothing but defend their sovereignty…”  Other resolutions speak of the Harper government’s “warmongering agenda” and “warmongering policies”, and claim that “the Harper government is consolidating Canada as an aggressor State and a partner-in-crime of the U.S.”  

So apparently, the Canadian Peace Alliance’s idea of peace is to be less like that evil warmonger Stephen Harper and more like that peaceful leader Kim Jong Un (who recently executed his uncle)....

Pound back a few beers and get drunk, then have a few people executed...It's good to be Kim Jong-un!

This should please the communist morons who comprise the so-called Canadian Peace Alliance, which wants the west to appease North Korea even more:

The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was "very drunk" when he ordered the recent execution of two aides close to his uncle Jang Song-thaek, reports say.

According to the Japanese newspaper YomiuriShimbun, the pair questioned an order from the dictator to hand over control of a business to the military. Sources told the newspaper Kim was "upset" when they said they needed to check with "Director Jang" first.

The leader's uncle, who was removed from power and killed as part of a recent high-profile purge, was head of the ruling Workers' Party administrative department.

Canada's pro-Assad, pro-Iran 5th column

There are plenty of good reasons for the west not to get mixed up in Syria's civil war.

The dithering, inept leadership from the White House has made the situation even worse, because Syrians fighting for democracy and rule of law know they can rely on America for no more support than when President Obama abandoned the students of Iran's "Green Revolution" to the brutality of the mullahs.

Western intervention in Syria might have produced a good outcome over a year and a half ago. The rebellion against Bashar Assad's dictatorship began with Syrians inspired by the shift to democracy that seemed to be sweeping through the Muslim Middle East.

But now the Syrian rebellion, like the rest of the "Arab Spring," has been overrun by depraved Jihadists trying to impose a tyrannical form of Sharia that could make even the serial killer Bashar Assad look like Marcus Aurelius.

As Henry Kissinger famously said of the Iran-Iraq War, "can they both lose?"

Nonetheless, there are groups of people in Canada who are adamant that the west should not attack Assad, even following his use of chemical weapons that killed women and children.

Some of them were out yesterday on a muggy Toronto afternoon, the last day of an excessively humid August, dragging along children with Bashar Aassad's dour, moustached face emblazoned on t-shirts above the caption "we love you."

Why is it that they are so passionate in their zeal to protect a vicious mass-murderer?

Some are Syrian expats beholden to the regime.

But others are working for the interests of Iran, and Syria is one of the Iranian dictatorship's few allies. And they are becoming frenetic with worry as one of the last holdouts of tyranny sympathetic to the Khomeinst regime is on the ropes.

These people who are so devoted to Iran include Canadian radical leftists like those in the so-called Canadian Peace Alliance.

Sid Lacombe at the 2013 al Quds Day rally

The leader of the Canadian Peace Alliance, Sid Lacombe, is a regular speaker at Khomeinist al Quds Day hate fests. He uses that platform, not to call for human rights to be respected by the torturers, rapists and killers in the Iranian regime, but to attack Canada's Prime Minister and Canadian policies.

One of Lacombe's stooges is an oddball named Ken Stone, who was present at a pro-Assad rally in Toronto yesterday.

Stone was an invited guest of the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism, who whined about being asked questions about his visit to Iran by Canadian Security Services. It  takes a remarkable degree of hypocrisy to praise the vicious Syrian regime of Assad, while being able to slam the door in the face of Canadian Security agents with no repercussions, and then complain about Canada's repressiveness. That degree of hypocrisy seems to come naturally to Ken Stone.

Also at the pro-Assad rally was the notorious union apparatchik, Ali Mallah, an individual who suppressed Canadian Union of Public Employees criticism of the genocide in Darfur because it makes Muslims and Arabs look bad.

The Canadian servants of Middle Eastern dictators and their useful idiot acolytes are among us. Professing to care care about Human Rights, what they actually care about are the totalitarian dictatorships to whose interests they are so closely aligned.

A Canadian "peace group" acting on behalf of the Iranian and Syrian dictatorships

An oddball Hamilton, Ontario activist named Ken Stone is part of the so-called Canadian Peace Alliance, being the spokesman for its Hamilton Coalition to Stop the War branch. He has been the guest of the Iranian dictatorship and upon his return to Canada, complained bitterly about being asked questions by CSIS about his all-expenses paid visit to the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism.

Given that the Canadian Peace Alliance acts like a front group for Iranian interests in Canada, it should surprise no one that they are supporters of the Syrian dictatorship of Bashar al-Assad. In an interview on the fanatical neo-Marxist website rabble.ca, Stone expresses his pleasure that Assad's forces seem to be gaining the upper hand against rebels trying to bring down the dictatorial regime.

protest in Toronto

Syria is one of Iran's few close allies in the middle east. The downfall of their ally Assad's regime would further isolate Iran's dictatorship, which is currently feeling pain from international sanctions. Syria has been a conduit for Iranian weapons to Hezbollah, its proxy terror group in Lebanon. With Assad gone, Iran's influence in Lebanon would take a major hit, which is why Iran's proxies are desperate to try to prevent western countries from giving further support to the Syrian rebels.

However, if they want to be convincing, Iran really does need to come up with a better class of shill than people like Ken Stone. In his interview he actually tries to portray Assad's Syria, which is known for torturing and killing political dissidents, as a middle eastern paradise that is even more democratic than Canada.

Evidently believing the sort of person attracted to so-called peace groups like his to be gullible imbeciles, Stone describes Syria as "a very multicultural country like Canada" with "a government that guarantees the rights of all the minorities in the country."

Clearly trying to build sympathy for a brutal, murderous dictator,  Stone hammers away at the theme that Assad's Syria is like liberal, democratic Canada.  Repeating his analogy, he says of Syrians that "they live in a multicultural society; sounds like Canada" Then, describing accounts from western media and governments, he protests that "they will tell you that the president of Syria, Bashar al-Assad is a dictator, but actually he's been elected with a lot higher majority than either Prime Minister Harper or Obama has received."

Stone leaves out that Assad's electoral victories bear a striking resemblance to those won by his fellow Ba'athist Saddam Hussein in Iraq, who routinely claimed 99.9% of the vote in his favor.

Pushing the lie that the Syrian rebels are all foreign mercenaries paid for by the US, Stone seems to have borrowed talking points from his associate, the racist Khomeinist, Zafar Bangash.

There is absolutely nothing honest or useful to be learned about Syria from Ken Stone and his comrades at the Canadian Peace Alliance. But their desperation is informative about other matters, such as the extent to which Iran is worried about Assad's demise and the ways that the Iranian dictatorship utilizes Canadian groups for its own aims.

The Death Cult takes to Toronto's streets

"We will win because they love life and we love death"
- Hamas slogan

The meaning of the striking, controversial, crystal-like structure jutting over Toronto's Bloor Street that is part of the renovated Royal Ontario Museum has been the subject of much speculation since it was built a few years ago. Yesterday I heard an explanation for its shape I hadn't heard before. Designed by architect Daniel Libeskind,  it appears the edifice was built to serve the International Jewish Conspiracy.

That, at least, was the reason I was told that the noise from the loudspeakers across the street, reverberating against the crystal and amplifying the noise from the loudspeakers of pro-Israel counter-demonstrators, was drowning out pro-Hamas hysterics gathered opposite the building housing the Israeli consulate.

The Hamas supporters' demonstration was rather tame and anti-climactic.Their turnout was disappointing - almost 1300 clicktavists had committed to attend the demonstration on its facebook page, but less than a fifth of that number showed up to vent their fury. It was planned while the recent Israel-Gaza conflagration was still occurring, but since then a cease-fire has come into effect. Nonetheless, war or peace is irrelevant to the core of hateful fanatics for whom a Jewish state is an affront and its destruction is catechism.  

Many of the usual suspects obsessed with eliminating the only genuine democracy in the middle east were there. Ali Mallah, the buffoonish Islamist CUPE representative, the shrill, frumpy Sociology professor Mary Jo Nadeau and Sid Lacombe,  the grubby puppet of Iranian interests who acts as fuhrer of the misleadingly-named Canadian Peace Alliance, were in the forefront.

Queers Against Israeli Apartheid's sad old man,
Tim McCaskell addressing the mob

There were a few surprises as well. One of the featured speakers was a young woman who made a disgraceful name for herself earlier this month by disrupting Toronto's Remembrance Day services and insulting the memory of Canada's fallen soldiers. Ranting about Canada being a "white supremacist society,"  this woman was obviously too stupid to comprehend the irony of her complaining about not having free speech in Canada while screaming slanderous insults about this country into a microphone at one of the busiest intersections in the nation's most populous city. That she was honored by the vapid pro-Hamas group was hardly surprising.

A significant visual distinction between the pro and anti-Israel demonstrators that revealed much of who they are could be seen in the complete absence of Canadian flags among the Hamas supporters. The pro-Israel group held Canadian and Israeli flags together.  Among the Muslim and radical leftists across the street were Palestinian, Syrian, and Turkish flags and signs proclaiming their hate, but not a single Red Maple Leaf.

The reason for that is something they made clear; because the Hamas supporters despise Canada. Referring to our country as an "occupied, racist, colonialist-settler state," among other expressions of detest, their invective towards Canada was only slightly less vitriolic than their venom directed towards Israel.

And you probably thought all the remaining Bolsheviks
had crawled back under their rocks...

Along those lines was the bloviating from Union Boss Sid Ryan of the Ontario Federation of Labour. If ever there was a personification of the need for Bill C-377, which calls for transparency in union spending, Ryan is it. Doing what he does best, which is being a self-aggrandizing blowhard, Ryan bragged about how he pushed through a 'boycott Israel' resolution while heading the Ontario branch of the Canadian Union of Public Employees.  In his tenure at CUPE, Ryan's pompous foolishness did nothing but prove how ineffective his resolution was, have scorn heaped on the union, and offend the majority of public workers and others for whom Israel's destruction is the furthest thing from their minds. Claiming the "occupation" has been going on since 1947, before it even became an independent state, Ryan revealed the end of  Israel's very existence is the goal he is striving to abuse his union role to further.

On the occasions I attend these types of protests, it is to observe and chronicle them. There was something about this instance that was different. This time, in the heart of Toronto, just a few blocks from the neighbourhood where I grew up, standing next to Canadian Forces veterans like Mark Vandermaas,  remembering some of the brave Canadian WW2 vets whom I knew as a child,  and hearing Canada and Canada's proud history being maligned by hateful acolytes of a new form of fascism, I decided to participate.

I took a Canadian flag and waved it high in the wind opposite the symbols of evil wielded by the ignominious votaries of a Death Cult. Waving our nation's flag amid a group ranging from little old ladies, former Peacekeepers, university students, average citizens and even a few of the extreme Zionists of the Jewish Defense League there to show their disdain for terrorists felt good, but I wanted to do a little more.

A barrier was put up to create a wide berth
between the terror supporters and
civilized people visiting the Museum

While Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid denizen Mary Jo Nadeau may be a low-tier academic with an unimpressive intellect, there is indeed one thing she does moderately well - screaming mindless slogans during demonstrations. Before she, Mallah and the rest of the anti-Israel mob skulked away along Bloor Street,  I decided to try an experiment. The Hamas supporters have a simple, facile narrative: "we are oppressed, we are victims, they are oppressors" and that was the essence of the tripe Nadeau was screaming, but she wasn't doing a very good job of electrifying her side.

On the north side, one of the Israel supporters had been continually talking into a rival loudspeaker, reciting support for Israel and opposition to terror. He was doing a decent job of counterbalancing the din from the Hamasphiles on the south, but neither that nor Nadeau's best efforts left either side impassioned by what they heard. So I thought I'd help the bad guys get more excited about their cause.

Union Commissar Ryan bewailed Canada not "saying a word" about Israel's "disproportionate" retaliation against Hamas. So borrowing the microphone from the pro-Israel speaker, I started with: "On that side of the street, they complain that the Canadian government hasn't condemned Israel. That's because Canada supports democracy and liberty over terrorism and tyranny!"  That got their notice and I continued.

"On that side of the street, they support totalitarianism and dictatorship, on this side we support democracy and freedom! On that side, they support Hamas launching indiscriminate attacks against women and children, on this side we support the right of free people to defend themselves from terror!"

Remembering that a few minutes earlier, a subdued and tired-looking Tim McCaskell from the small, lunatic fringe group of anti-capitalist Gays called "Queers Against Israeli Apartheid" had addressed the Hamas supporters, I closed with an acknowledgement of his group's self-defeating stupidity. "On that side, they support Hamas, which oppresses women, which denies free speech to Gaza and murders people for being Gay. On this side we support equal rights and human rights for everyone!"

The experiment worked. While I delivered that brief address, the Hamas-lovers were jumping up and down, shouting profanities and threats, with pained expressions of rage like rats in a Skinner Box.

I handed the microphone back to the gentleman who was speaking before me, who then continued with his recitation. Though a great deal briefer and far less eloquent than the speech delivered earlier in the week by Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird, I'd made some of the same points and had done what I wanted.

One incident that was recounted to me by an elderly woman after the demonstrations dispersed is worth mentioning. There was a young woman, a university student, holding a sign among the Hamasites that read, "I was born in Israel and I condemn Israeli Apartheid." The elderly woman asked her, "how is it that Israel is an apartheid country?" Evidently not really understanding the meaning of the word, the student replied, "Israel took land away from the Palestinians."

"But what does that have to do with apartheid?" the older woman countered. "The same land was taken away from the Jews too and was never a 'Palestinian state.' In fact Zionists were able to buy up much of the land when it was controlled by the Ottoman Empire."

To that, the younger woman said, "what's the Ottoman Empire?"

What's the Ottoman Empire? That in a nutshell describes a vast amount about the anti-Israel fanatics who gather periodically on Canadian streets. Too witless to think beyond the puerile slogans they hear and too incurious to inquire beyond the indoctrination of biased, politicized liberal arts courses, they parade like stupid lemmings to the precipice of a loathsome ideology they don't even comprehend.

As Christopher Hitchens once wrote about such groups, they don't seem to be so much in favor of peace as they are war, but for the other side.

The nice people to whom James Clark and the "Canadian Peace Alliance" want you to abandon Afghanistan

One wonders whether some of the so-called "anti-war" groups are, as Chrsitopher Hitchens observed, really pro-war but for the other side.

For those of you who thought religions which practiced human sacrifice were a thing of the past, the Taliban's version of Islam proves otherwise.
