Something to remember

THIS BEING Remem-
brance Day, fet’s remember
that whereas Nazi Germany
was a2 fully fledged police
state, Canada is in danger
of becoming a partly fledg-
ed police state.

ON THE OTHER HAND

.

What else can be said when a
‘controversial author’ to whom
Jewish groups object is barred
from the country?

What else can be said when
eight armed policemen descend on
a private meeting, slap handcuffs
on the speaker and hau) him off
to jail, informing the audience
that the place is surrounded and
that they should stay whrsc they
are?

Were the cops after Jesse
James? Had Clifford Olson
escaped from prison?

No, the target was a writer who
says that something didn’t hap-
pen. Or that if it did happen, it
has been grossly exaggerated. Like
the Holocaust.

And what else can be said when
most of the media not only accept
all this but join in the witch hunt?

I refer to the David Irving af-
fair.

Typical was the reaction of a
blockhead editorialist on the Van-
couver Province who wrote that
the incident was nothing more
than an immigration matter. And
good riddance, Mr. Irving.

He also wrote that no country
in the world has more freedom of
speech than Canada.

Somebody must have been
smoking something. From start to
finish, the Irving affair was poli-
tics in which the theme was set by
Jewish organizations who insist
that their version of history is the
only one and you question it at
your peril.

it started with a demand that
Irving be barred from the country.
Then, when he attempts to obey
an immigration department order
to leave the country, he is denied
entry to the US.

fy guess is that the C “ae
vish Congress i
even more powerful American
Jewish Congress for a spot of

had been in the U.S.
dozens of times w thout ‘1
any trouble or yg
this time it was claimed he didn't
have the right kind of visa.

So thanks to a little hands-
across-the-border work Irving
could not leave Canada and was
in the slammer again. That way,
he was liable to being officially
deported, which would mean that
he could never return.

Consider now what has hap-
pened elsewhere on the Canadian
immigration front where
undesirables are concerned — if
indeed there are any undesirables
apart from controversial authors.

Remember Menachem Begin,
the Jewish terrorist? He must have
been a desirable undesirable
because he often visited Canada
on fundraising tours. Wanna visa,
Menachem? No problem.

Yet Begin had been leader of
the murderous Irgun Zvai Leumi
gang.

Among his more notable ex-
ploits was the 1948 Deir Yassin
massacre of 254 Arab women,
children and old men. Plus the
blowing up of the King David
Hotel in Jerusalem, complete with
occupants.

Rementber Nelson Mandela? In
the 1960s his plan was to blow up
half of Johannesburg.

Released from jail, he gets to
Ottawa, is cheered by Parliament
and is given $§ million (U.S.) for
his splendid cause by a grovelling
Mulroney. Your money, of
course.

Liars, crooks, thugs and killers
pour into this country by the
planeload and have been doing so
for years.

Only a couple of weeks ago the
CEC program The Fifth Estate
did a copper-bottomed hour on
the murderers and thugs from
Somalia who are now enjoying
Canadian hospitality.

What came through with
depressing clarity was that the
immigration department just
wasn't interested in tossing those:
people out. You think we are
racists or something?

No eight-armed policemen de-
scending on supper tables for
them!

Confronted with the facts,
Minister of Immigration Bernard
Valcourt looked like a complete
idiot.

Against all that, we see Dan-
gerous David ordered out of the
country double-quick. Great
stuff, Bernard. And by the way,
did you find a load of dynamite in
his suitcase?

Irving’s views should be a mat-
ter for discussion, not Keystone
Cops chases.

Yor the record, | too do not
believe in the six million story
(which is not to say that dreadful

ings did not happen).

{ disagree with Irving on
quite # lot, especially his hostile
view of Churchill and his less-
than-hostile view of Hitler.

But what cannot be denied is
that he is an outstanding writer
and researcher.

When the **Hitler diaries’? were
produced he denounced them as
fakes even though they had been
pronounced genuine by Nazi-
period expert Trevor Roper,
Regius Progessor History at Ox-
ford University. And Irving was
right.

More recently, the Sunday
Times hired him to decipher and
translate the Goebbels’ Diaries.
Before that he had discovered the
Eichmann papers.

And his books on the Nazi
leaders are masterpieces of dig-
ging. So isn’t there just a teeny-
weeny possibility that he’s right
about the six million?

Whether he’s right or wrong,
Canada is engaging in the
equivalent of book-burning.

In Hades, Dr. Goebbels must be
having quite a laugh.
