"Silence! I sue you!"
Dichmed - the litigating censorship bomber

The silent sound of censorship has been Richard Warman's goal since long before he ever came to our attention, and the CHRC has been on the same quest right beside him. In the end, what was the CHRC planning to 'do' to Free Dominion after it added it to its 100% conviction total? The CHRC was going to silence the website because that's what the CHRC does.

The Marie-Line Gentes complaint against Free Dominion was utter nonsense from the outset. According to the CHRC, out of the blue some infidel woman from Quebec was so offended (on behalf of Muslims who hadn't bothered to actually be offended themselves) by a link that appeared on Free Dominion that she considered the site to be a hate site deserving of the censoring punishment-by-process that is the specialty of the CHRC. The CHRC agreed with Gentes assessment of Free Dominion as a hate site and informed us that the wheels of injustice were grinding our way.

Things have gone downhill for the CHRC and Richard Warman since that day.

Today we received a package in the mail (requested by us) from the CHRC containing what they say is all the information they have on Mark Fournier, Connie Fournier, Connie Wilkins, Connie Wilkins-Fournier and Free Dominion. The package contained nothing we had not already seen or were not already aware of. This is not a disappointment to us because the absence of additional information has implications that are not good for the CHRC.

For example, CHRC investigator Dean Steacy has testified that he only registered at websites using the name jadewarr to put them under, or while they were under, investigation by the CHRC. When he was confronted with the fact that he began his investigation of Free Dominion months before the Gentes complaint was filed he retreated to vague references to other kinds of complaints that might have been received about FD. When he was asked the names of these alleged unofficial complainers he refused to answer. He didn't say that there were no names to give, he said he refused to give them. No documentation of the content of these alleged complaints, or of how they were received, or of who they were received by, was included in the package we received from the CHRC. As it stands, we have Dean Steacy's word, and Dean Steacy's word only, that there was any complaint at all about Free Dominion that preceded Marie-Line Gentes complaint. His evidence for existence of these alleged complaints is essentially, "Trust me, they exist."

I don't, and I don't think they ever did.

So why was the government of Canada using its censorship arm to investigate Free Dominion in the first place? If Free Dominion is, or was, a hate site, why hasn't the CHRC acted beyond supporting the lame-assed complaint of Marie-Line Gentes? And why was Free Dominion suddenly fighting a deluge of accusations of being a hate/Nazi/white supremacist/ist/phobe site? Who was the source of that smear job and why does it so closely resemble the recently-discredited smear job of Marc Lemire?

Logic 101: Pop quiz

Who would have the most interest in seeing Free Dominion tarred as a hate site?
a) Roger Oxbow and the Estavan, Sask. Knights of Columbus
b) Huey Lewis and the News
c) Richard Warman and the CHRC

To the best of our knowledge, there is no official connection between Richard Warman and Marie-Line Gentes or her complaint or the CHRC's investigation of the Gentes complaint. But shortly after the CHRC's attempt to silence Free Dominion was shortcircuited by Gentes withdrawing her complaint, the CHRC's preferred customer, Richard Warman, litigated his way into our lives. Is there any reason to believe his intention in doing so was different from the CHRC's? Richard Warman is filing suits to silence political opinions because that's what Richard Warman does.

Richard Warman's Censorship Sideshow

That self-serving legal maladroit Richard Warman is making waves again with his so-called Maximum Disruption Campaign. The latest has the anti-rightwing, anti-conservative, anti-freedom of speech legal beagle launching an all-out attack against a number of conservative writers and internet forums....

Ok, I'm not calling this Warman character any names, but would it be out of line if I were to think that this guy is an enormous TWAT?

I'm just an unfrozen, American of Canadian decent, caveman and your strange ways confuse and alarm me. Is a "counter-suit" even possible in your courts? Can claims be made to recover costs in a successful defense?

A better question would be, will any of us still be alive by the time this makes its way to the top of the court list?

I think we are probably looking at somewhere in 2010 at the earliest at this point, and that is just for a pre-trial date.

I would say that the CHRC and RW would be more comfortable in Beijing -- whenever I hear one of those insipid paid liars telling us what we should think about China and Tibet, I think of our beloved CHRC, the NDP, the left Libs, and the whole nasty pro-communist elite of Canadian politics.

Perhaps if Harper goes to the opening ceremonies (which he shouldn't) of the Olympics, he could leave the CHRC behind for tank practice and other appropriate activities.

How many lawsuits does he get before he can be branded some kind of malicious litigant? Isn't there a rule about that?
