Canadian Thought Police Strike Again

A man the Canadian Jewish Congress came to know as "Exterminance" on the Internet has been given a hefty sentence after being convicted of willful promotion of hatred against identifiable groups, a CJC spokesman said yesterday.

Keith Francis William Noble, 32, was sentenced in B.C. Supreme Court in Prince George to six months in jail.

Mr. Justice Glen Parrett said that was the appropriate sentence for Mr. Noble's actions, but he gave the Fort St. John resident two months credit for 40 days spent in custody before and during the nine-day trial.

Three years of probation will follow.

Len Rudner, Ontario regional director for the Canadian Jewish Congress, said the congress first became familiar with Mr. Noble when the organization found some of his writings on the Internet, where he called himself Exterminance.

"I was aware of him in that fashion, but it was only after we were approached by the RCMP and asked to comment that I had the opportunity to study his work more closely," said Mr. Rudner, who testified at Mr. Noble's November trial.

Mr. Rudner said he doesn't know precisely what the word means because it is not in the dictionary. He said Mr. Noble made the point on the Internet that his name did not suggest a need to exterminate.

"I suppose Mr. Noble hates or dislikes anybody who does not fit his vision of what the perfect human being is, namely white with a heterosexual orientation."

What made Mr. Noble "special" for the CJC, said Mr. Rudner, is that he was not only attempting to promote hatred but also trying to recruit people.

"One of the pages that was associated with him there was an explicit call for skinheads to get in touch with him."

Judge Parrett ordered all computer equipment that police found in Mr. Noble's apartment forfeited to the Crown for destruction.

During the period of probation, Mr. Noble may not own a computer or access the Internet or go to any establishment where Internet service is the primary business.

Mr. Noble's website, court heard, had links with white-supremacist groups in Texas.

The Criminal Code section against willful promotion of hatred exempts views expressed in private conversation.

But Mr. Noble published his views through the Internet where millions can read them and interested people almost anywhere may copy and republish his comments.

Judge Parrett said it is impossible to conclude Mr. Noble meant his communications to be private.

On his website, Mr. Noble attacked Jews, blacks, homosexuals and parents who allow their children to marry members of other races. He also expressed sympathy with Ku Klux Klan views, court was told.

Let me first make one thing very clear. I am NOT defending Nobles viewpoints. I abhor racism and discrimination of any kind, it is contrary to my own personal views that every single human on this planet is born free and equal.
In this case, what the Canadian Jewish Congress is doing, is SEEKING OUT HATRED. They are scouring the internet looking for "hatred" and ways to muzzle the views of supposedly free Canadians. Again, as abhorrent as I and you may find his views, who has Noble "hurt" with his postings and his opinions? Who decides what is hateful? Are we on a slippery slope where ANY FORM OF CRITICISM of certain groups will land you in jail?
Are we headed towards a Big Brother society, where someday expressions against government or certain countries governments (Israel comes to mind) are considered "hate", and liable to see you land in jail? Where does it all end?
The end of the road, ladies and gentleman, is THOUGHTCRIME, right out of an Orwellian nightmare.

Secondly, the hypocrisy of the CJC is astounding. When it comes to criticism of Islam, or the enemies of Israel, the CJC is stone silent. Where was the CJC when Michael Coren was able to print this outrageous piece of hatred against Persians calling for an attack on Iran, in the Toronto Sun no less?
I suppose the CJC will now go after The Happy Heretic, here calling for the banning of the Koran as "hate speech", since such a view is hateful towards Muslims? I doubt it.

For anyone labouring under the illusion we are free in this country, remember, you are free to say what you want, provided your viewpoints are approved by Len Rudner. You are free to do as you are told, and you are free to end up in jail if your opinions are contrary to those of the approved government censors. But feel free to follow the lead of Michael Coren and Ezra Levant and others, and bash and express hateful viewpoints towards Islam, Arabs, Palestinians and Persians in major newspapers read by millions of people.
