1. INTRODUCTION

The following dossier on Mr Kenneth McVay of Nanaimo, British
Columbia, Canada,the 'director' of the Nizkor Project, has been
compiled entirely from publicdomain resources. Copious notes give
sources for particular items of information. All of the information is
correct and easily verifiable as at December 2002. It will obviously
need to be updated from time to time. In particular, Mr McVay is very
adept at removing embarrassing information from Websites rather
quickly, so use should be made of historical Internet archiving
resources such as the Internet Archive Wayback Machine
(http://web.archive.org/collections/web.html) to obtain information
that has been removed. The sources given here will need to be updated
accordingly to keep abreast of this. It will be observed that, with a
very few exceptions, most of the information results either from
Usenet posts made by Mr McVay to the Internet, or his own Web pages,
or interviews that he has given to the press.

Why prepare a lengthy dossier on Mr McVay? There are several very good
reasons.

(a) Mr McVay, as I shall demonstrate, deliberately misrepresents
Nizkor's financial and organizational affairs. It is right that this
should be publicized so that those who fund and do business with this
gentleman know the sort of person with whom they're becoming involved.

(b) Mr McVay's Nizkor Project purports to be an 'educational
resource'. It tries, inter alia, to sell to our schoolchildren a
particular view of revisionist historians and those who make common
cause with such historians. I am thus performing a public service in
bringing to the notice of the wider community some of the more
controversial aspects of Mr McVay's life and work, including his
rather poor research, his somewhat sleazy financial
associations, the fact that he has been the subject of much criticism
from his own side for his unorthodox methods, his controversial views
on such matters as drugs and child pornography, and his avowed
willingness to commit murder. The fact that he is a liar also deserves
note.
If our children are to be 'taught' by men like Mr McVay, they have
every right to know such things about this 'teacher'. So do their
parents.

(c) Mr McVay specializes in collecting dirt on people and using it to
smear them. He is very adept, as will be shown below, at taking
quotations out of context, at giving only half of the story - at
misleading. As children and impressionable minds are the intended
targets of his material it is right that they and their guardians
should know a little about the sort of person who is providing it.

(d) I am a victim of one of Mr McVay's smear campaigns. Mr McVay has
posted many, many articles (often with identical wording) to Usenet
accusing me of all sorts of things of which I am quite innocent. He
has even posted some of his nonsense to local newsgroups in the areas
in which he thinks I live - this can only be intended to damage my
good name and to cause harm to my family and to me. I am not the only
person who has had to endure this sort of hate campaign from Mr McVay.

One Mr William Grosvenor of Canada found his name and address
published on McVay's Nizkor Web site. Grosvenor was firebombed.

Mr Scott Bradbury also had his address and telephone number posted on
Mr McVay's Web site and was made the victim of a ferocious campaign of
telephone harassment. The civil law offers no protection when the
perpetrator has limited financial resources and the British police,
political to the core, are worse than useless.
In compiling this dossier I am sending a message to Mr McVay that I
have not been intimidated into silence by him and that I will continue
to expose him and his dwindling band of supporters for the dishonest
people that they are.

(e) Mr McVay publishes, on his Nizkor site, lengthy dossiers on people
- including myself. Some of us feel that this is an intrusion into our
privacy - particularly as some of the information is incorrect,
defamatory, misleading and/or negative and we are given little or no
opportunity to correct it or to place it in context. It is perhaps
only fair that those who use this particular technique for
'discouraging' debate about World War II history should be sent a
message that the compilation of dossiers is a game at which both sides
can play.
I, at least, make a reasonable attempt to get my facts straight.

It is in this spirit of defiance that I proudly present The McVay
Files.

2. BIODATA

2.1 Biography
Born: Santa Clara, California, USA, 2 October 1940.1
Studied: computer science.2
Married: 19613 (subsequently divorced, apparently around 1986 - see
below).
Moved: to British Columbia (with family and basset hound), 1967.4
Financial failure: He described what happened next in a Usenet post:5

Once upon a time, millions of salmon ago, I moved my family from a
Yankee city all the way up across the Canadian border and right there
about 500 miles up the arsehole of the world. At the time, I was
convinced I had whatever it was it took to be a pioneer - to hack a
home out of the bush and raise my children there. (I was wrong, but
that's often been the case in my life, so I've gotten used to it :-))
I wanted to buy my daughter a pony. All I had, mind you, to KEEP a
pony, was 160 acres of certified, mosquito-filled raw Canadian bush,
but that rarely prevented me from doing things like buying a horse for
my critter, so of course I bought her one - if anyone cares about that
tail, try getting Lisa over to rec.equestrian to chat, or ask her
(politely) via email. I so enjoyed watching Lisa with that horse that
it wasn't long before I went out and bought her another one - about
the size of a small house. When Reality finally set in, several horse
stories later, I realized that there was no way on God's earth that I
could keep those horses, and I had to explain that to my daughter.

He gave more detail of the cause of his financial failure in an
interview to The Idler:6

In Canada with his schoolteacher wife, McVay set up a dedicated server
to connect Salmon farmers, which was used to track the price of fish
food and commodities. When the price of farm-raised fish plunged from
$4.00 to $2.00 a pound, many of his customers went belly-up. But McVay
still had contracts to provide computer service.
Started anti-revisionist work: 1991.7

Began Nizkor: January 1992.8

Awards:

A list of awards supposedly received by Ken McVay's Nizkor site may be
found on that site itself.9 More notable among McVay's awards are the
Order of British Columbia 1995 and the Media Human Rights Award,
presented by B'nai Brith Canada, in March 1996.10 He received an award
from Eye magazine for his Nizkor site in 1999.11

Citizenship:

Retains Canadian and US dual citizenship.12
Obtained Canadian citizenship in 1973, 'partially in protest over the
war in 'Nam, and partially to express my thanks to Canada for
providing me with training, health care, and a peaceful way of
life'.13

2.2 Family

Father: born 1915, died 1989 of cancer.14 Served in Army Intelligence
in the Pacific theater during WWII.15
Mother born: 1917.16 Built landing craft for Food Machinery
Corporation.17
Parental vices: Ken's mother and father were both fond of Martinis.18
Brother: served in the US Marines.19

Marriage(s)

Ken was married to a schoolteacher in 1961,20 from whom he claims he
was divorced after 25 years of marriage (thus around 1986).21
However, he makes Usenet references to a wife as late as 1992, which
suggest that he might have remarried.22

Descendants

He has four children and eight grandchildren.23
His children consist of three girls and one boy.

Daughter 1

One daughter is Lisa Lambeth (formerly Lisa Graham).
Lisa apparently divorced Mr Graham24 to marry Mr Garry Lambeth (former
e-mail address
gre...@oneb2.almanac.bc.ca [DEFUNCT])and then split with Mr Lambeth.25
Lisa was the founder of a group called Parents for Enforcing Regular
Child Support (PERCS).26
Lisa appears to have been involved in some way with a musician by the
name of Dan Livingstone, and they evidently shared an e-mail address,
lisan...@home.com (now defunct). Lisa appears to be involved in
promotions work in the music industry.
She works from:Suite 46-855 Howard Avenue, Nanaimo BC, Canada V9R 5V4,
tel. 250-753-4571 apparently for Stride Productions, where she is
associated with one Nigel Mack.

Lisa's earlier e-mail addresses included: l...@oneb2.almanac.bc.ca
[DEFUNCT]
Lisa's last known e-mail address was llamb...@nanaimo.ark.com.
Lisa has two daughters: Chelsea, born 1982 (old e-mail address:
chel...@oneb2.almanac.bdc.ca {DEFUNCT]), and another girl born 1987,
both apparently by Mr Graham. Chelsea has light brown hair and is
interested in horses, running and music.

Son

McVay has a son who served in the American Marines in the Gulf during
Operation Desert Storm in 1991.27 Specifically, he served in Marine
2nd. LAI Btn28 near Khafji, Saudi Arabia.29

Prior to serving in the Marines, McVay's son had difficulty finding a
job, being rejected by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.30

After returning from the Gulf he worked for a short period in Portland
before returning to Canada,31 and in 1996 was serving in the US
Army.32

In 1991 McVay's son had a Canadian wife and a daughter.33

In June 1996, McVay was to claim that his son was suffering from Gulf
War Syndrome.34, although evidently this was not so severe as to
prevent him remaining in the employ of the US Army as at November of
the same year.35

Daughter 2

One of the other daughters was teaching in Portland in 1992.36

Daughter 3

The third daughter was living in Canada in 1992.37

It appears that some of McVay's children other than Lisa have also
been divorced.38

4.2 Employment history

4.2.1 The official version (from Nizkor/McVay)

Marines: Ken purports to have been in the US marines.54 He claims to
have left the marines in or around 1963.55
He gives his reasons for leaving thus:56

I moved to Canada in 1967. I have an honorable discharge from the
Corps, (1963), but was active in the anti-war movement, and decided
that moving to Canada was preferable to continuing the painful process
of watching the United States tear itself apart over 'Nam.

The cynic might thus be forgiven for concluding that he appears to
have fled to avoid military action.

Provision of computer facilities: On arrival in Canada he provided
computer facilities for salmon farmers and others. This was
unsuccessful.57

During the early 1990s he ran a computer consulting firm called 1B
Systems Management Limited,58

operating from 5-1601 Bowen Road Nanaimo, British Columbia V9S 1G7 CA
(604)758-2499 and 4B - 2520 Bowen Road, Nanaimo, BC V9T.

Menial jobs after computer business failed:

While in British Columbia he had numerous menial jobs including seven
years doing construction and maintenance work in sawmills.59

In June 1992 he claimed to be living on less than $13,000 per year. 60

In May 1993 he claimed that he'd been laid off from a software support
job in May 1992.61

In 1994 he was working in a combined convenience store/gas station in
British Columbia.62

Nizkor and speaking By spring 1996 he had given up this job to work
full time on the Nizkor project.63

By 1996 he was earning a small sum of money (which he variously claims
was $1,200 per month and $1,500 per month) from speaking engagements
(see funding below).

In 1999 he was charging $750 per day (negotiable) for his speaking
services.64
This asking fee remained the same in 2001.65

His schedule66 indicates that he had a fairly busy speaking schedule
in 1999 (the very year when he purported to be in such dire financial
difficulties that he was contemplating selling Nizkor - see below).
His schedule became markedly less busy in 2000, disappeared
altogether in 2001, but showed signs of renewed life late in 2002.

Internet marketing consultancy

By 1999 he was earning his living as an Internet marketing
consultant,67 his home page claiming that 'he earns his living as a
consultant, and travels extensively. His client list includes Justice
Canada and the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General.' Again, this
was at the time when he was announcing to all and sundry that Nizkor
was in such dire straits financially that it was about to close!

4.2.2 The unofficial version (from a Toronto newspaper)

Much of the above might be fronting something slightly more serious.
It is possible that Mr McVay might have police connections and might
in fact be working under cover in some way with the 'intelligence
community'. The cat was apparently let out of the bag by an article in
the Toronto Star, dated 22 March 1999, which stated that Ken McVay was
'a member of the Vancouver police department for 19 years'.68

Could this be the wrong Ken McVay? Not if one considers that Vancouver
is just a few miles from Nanaimo, and certainly not if one considers
the text of the article:

Speaker Ken McVay, a member of the Vancouver police department for 19
years, said advocacy groups are also guilty of apathy in response to
cyber-hate.'

In 1995, McVay came across an Edmonton man's Web site that targeted
homosexuals.
After contacting a Toronto advocacy group in July, 1997, and a gay
advocacy group in the fall of 1997, McVay said he's still waiting for
a response.

Silence welcomes hate crimes, he said.

"Unfortunately, hate is a marginalized issue", said McVay, stressing
that a collective powerful voice of millions opposing Internet hate is
absent.

It should also be noted that McVay appears to have, or to have had, in
1991, high-level connections with the American army.69

His father worked for US intelligence, thus McVay has well-established
links to the American intelligence network.70

'Thomas Schwann' has posted the following on McVay's alleged
connection with the 'intelligence community':71

I took the liberty to look into the matter about a year earlier.
=====
The following was deleted from nic.ddn.mil some time between
17 July 1996 and 19 August 1996. However, as of 19 August 1996
the email address still worked. It was originally captured on 17 July
1996. It disppeared just prior to a 256 copy mailbomb from gryn.org
saying that it was false information. The owner of gryn.org, Alec
Grynspan, openly bragged about having been involved with the
Mossad, i.e. Israeli intelligence.

the difference between the company name, 1B, and the internet name
