Nizkor tenders 5% to the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith
Canada. This is done to compensate the League for administration
and accounting expenses. (This was done at my request, since the
League offered to handle the fund on a pro bono basis, and I did
not think that would be fair.)
Ten per cent of all donated funds are credited to the Nizkor
Endowment Fund. Fund assets are invested to provide support for
Nizkor in perpetuity, and are not used for current expenses.

I hate to burst your bubble, Bubba, but this information is

>a) Why can't you write a check payable to Nizkor directly?
You can, but it won't get cashed, since Nizkor does not have
any bank accounts. If you feel the need, of course, by all means
write a cheque to Nizkor. It will be returned to you promptly
if you enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope (Canadian
postage only).

It does - see Whois.

Yes, in fact, they can.

Tough break, eh? Nizkor's post office address is public knowledge,
and that's as good as you're going to get. Live with it. (Who on
earth would want a filthy-mouthed twit like Don Ellis calling them?)

It's my part in the continuing global conspiracy to keep you
ignorant, of course. (You are correct, however, in asserting that
Nizkor is run by a gentile, but your bedfellows won't believe you.)
>f) Does Ken McVay pay himself a salary for his work for Nizkor?
Yup - I also appreciate revenue from public speaking and site advertising.

The above only proves "one hand washes the other" and this statement made
by Ken McVay "Nizkor tenders 5% to the League for Human Rights of B'nai
Brith Canada. This is done to compensate the League for administration and
accounting expenses." only shows him giving a "reward" to the very people
who launder his exempt donations he receives which he is not by law entitled
to receive on his own; hence the tax scheme devised to circumvent the law.
As for Ken McVay's statement: "Ten per cent of all donated funds are credited to the Nizkor Endowment Fund. Fund assets are invested to provide support for Nizkor in perpetuity.." is also very telling seeing how
Nizkor is Ken McVay so just substitute Ken McVay where you see Nizkor mentioned. It is Ken McVay Endowment Fund and it is Ken McVay Trust Fund
and both being funded through B'nai Brith. Ken McVay is the sole operator
(and sole recipient of exempt funding) of Nizkor.
Here is what CCR regs say about exempt donations and what is said
about Nizkor.

THIS POST FILED WITH CCRA
FOREWORD: Canadian revenue payers you need to contact
CCRA and ask them how a website is able to receive
"exempt donations" when it is neither a registered
charity or a Non Profit Organization.
A letter (included below) from CCRA advises me they
never heard of NIZKOR.ORG so you all should be asking
how Nizkor is offering:
"Donations over $10.00 will receive a Canadian tax
receipt" when it is nothing more than a website!
A ONE-MAN BUSINESS RUN BY KEN MCVAY!!
CCRA said: "we have no record of a registered charity
by the name of Nizkor.org." (Letter included below)
Only registered charities are allowed to issue "Canadian
receipts"!!
"A registered charity is a charity that has specifically
applied to the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency for
registration and has been accepted as such. A registered
charity can issue charitable receipts for tax purposes."

Thank you for your e-mail.
The Charities Directorate of the Canada Customs and
Revenue Agency is responsible for the registration
and compliance of charities in Canada.
These organizations are similar to "exempt organizations"
as are registered in the United States.
However, we have no record of a registered charity
by the name of Nizkor.org.
Additionally, due to the confidentiality provisions
of the Canadian Income Tax Act, I am unable to
disclose information concerning a particular
organization's tax affairs, including measures
taken or to be taken by the Department resulting
from complaints. However, I wish to assure you that
all complaints received by the Department are
treated seriously and are fully investigated,
where appropriate.
Finally, the annual information returns of
Canadian registered charities are available to
the public. However, as you will note from the above,
Nizkor.org is not a registered charity.
The non-profit information return which you
describe is not available to the public.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Sincerely,
Blaine Langdon
Charities Directorate

Glad to see you making that a public record.
Care to explain how a website not being either an
"NPO nor a Charity" can operate as you
do and issue tax receipts?
You are NOT allowed by law to grant tax receipts
according to CCRA statutes which you so conveniently
deleted. The more you act like a pompous arrogant ass -
the more it makes me want to put you in your place.
Canadian revenue payers take note of this!
He's being subsidized at your expense!

An NPO described in paragraph 149(1)(l) of the Income
Tax Act is a club,society, or association that is
organized and operated solely for:
social welfare;
civic improvement;
pleasure or recreation;
or any other purpose except profit.
Also, no part of the income of these organizations can
be payable to or otherwise available for the personal
benefit of any proprietor, member, or shareholder,
unless the proprietor, member, or shareholder was a
club, society,or association whose primary purpose
was to promote amateur athletics in Canada.
<<Doc Tavish Comments>>
I don't think Nizkor promotes amateur athletics in
Canada! Please note that the law states above:
"no part of the income of these organizations
can be payable to or otherwise available for
the personal benefit of any proprietor.." yet Ken
McVay is the proprietor or director of Nizkor
(a website) and he is on public record (also shown
below) as responding to this question: "Does Ken
McVay pay himself a salary for his work for Nizkor?"
with "Yup."
Plainly this violates the above and seeing how Nizkor
operates as a back room operation from the "proprietor's"
own house(proven below) this operation should be very
questionable!
Finally note that Ken McVay announced in a public
posting above: "Nizkor is neither an NPO nor a Charity.
Nizkor is a website." How does a "website" warrant
receiving "exempt donations"?
<<End of Doc Tavish Comments>>
Distinguishing non-profit organizations from registered
charities:
An NPO is not a registered charity.
A registered charity is a charity that has specifically
applied to the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency for
registration and has been ACCEPTED by CCRA as such.
A registered charity can issue charitable receipts for
tax purposes. An NPO does not have to register either
federally or provincially to maintain
its privileged tax status.
Generally, registered charities also have to disburse
80% of the funds for which they issued charitable receipts
on their own charitable activities or as gifts to qualified
donees.
NPOs cannot issue tax receipts for donations or membership
fees contributed, and they are not required to disburse a
specified percentage of their earnings.
<End of CCRA web page>
Notice what CCRA said about "issu[ing] charitable receipts
for tax purposes"? Look at McVay's operation and see if it
complies with the law stated above:
"NPOs cannot issue tax receipts for donations.."
yet Ken McVay's very own BUSINESS - NIZKOR page says:
"Donations over $10.00 will receive a Canadian tax receipt."
Ken McVay also claims that NIZKOR is NOT a charity
as shown further down in this post.

Notice how McVay says one thing and then says another?
His very own "website" says: "Donations over $10.00

Yet in the post just above McVay said:

McVay is a LIAR anyway you look at it! I provided the
links to all of my proofs so that you all, the
concerned citizenry may verify my claims.
It is also plain that McVay does not claim Nizkor

How does Mr. Bradbury "know" these things?
How does Mr. Bradbury "know" that Nizkor is a "charitable
organization?" (Can he show that anyone from Nizkor has
ever claimed to be such an organization?)
<end>
Well now we know Nizkor is not a "charitable organization"
so it has to be an NPO?! So why does Ken McVay's "NPO"
declare at its web page:
"Donations over $10.00 will receive a Canadian tax receipt"
which would be in violation of: "NPOs cannot issue tax
receipts for donations" but Ken McVay lies to a person
who's an object of his smear campaign: "McVay/Nizkor" has
never issued tax receipts of any sort.." Then again KcVay
admitted higher up in this post:
"Nizkor is neither an NPO nor a Charity. Nizkor is a website."
See how NIZKOR skirts all criteria of the tax laws?
Does Nizkor or does Nizkor not look crooked?
Seeing how Ken McVay's Nizkor accepts "exempt donation[s]"
it would be interesting to see why the Canadian Government
actually approves an organization with such tax status to
operate under the conditions Ken McVay's Nizkor does.
To this very day Ken McVay will not answer these
questions:
1) What is the tax number of Nizkor?
2) What is the physical address of Nizkor?
3) What is the phone number of Nizkor?
4) Where can one find the organizational papers for Nizkor?
a) How many people compose the Nizkor staff?
According to ex-staffers who have posted articles to
newsgroups, McVay IS THE SOLE PAID EMPLOYEE OF THE
BUSINESS!!!
b) What are the financial responsibilities of Nizkor?
5) What is the evidence offered that Nizkor is authorized to
solicit tax free contributions?
6) How much money does Nizkor Org receive yearly as charitable
donations?
7) You show below that you pay yourself-- what is your yearly pay?

A question for all reading this:
How many organizations which receive charitable
contributions operate from the backroom of the
director's home? Also Nizkor is not an organization; it
is a web site operated solely by Ken McVay as shown here;

Indeed it did. Why anyone would post an article that was nearly
five years out of date as if it had relevance is beyond me, but
then, we're dealing with "revisionist scholars" here, so it isn't the
least surprising.
> Thus it remains what it always was. A website run soley by Ken.
Indeed.
</quote>
The definition of organization:
http://poets.notredame.ac.jp/cgi-bin/wn?cmd=wn&word=institution
1) organization, organisation -- (a group of people who work together)
Nizkor is not a group of people. Nizkor is a web site operated
solely by Ken McVay.
Remember folks the bottom line:
a) Nizkor is a web site solely operated by Ken McVay.
Nizkor is Ken McVay from a backroom of his personal
residence.
b) The Nizkor Endowment Fund is Ken McVay.
c) The Nizkor Trust Fund is Ken McVay.
d) Ken McVay is not entitled to receive "exempt donations"
because his web site is neither an NPO (Non Profit Organization)
nor a registered charity.
e) McVay receives "laundered" exempt donations through B'nai
Brith.
f) McVay then kicks back 5% as tribute.
Those facts can not be denied.

This may astonish you, but NO ONE cares about your tirades, rants, screeds,
attacks, paranoia, and most of all FEAR.
There are two kinds of people in this world - you're the other kind. You're
the scared, blame everyone else for your problems kind. You're the kind
that worries himself to death, that worries MOST about what others do, say,
and how they act - and you can't STAND that they might be a little different
than you. You're the kind that thinks the world is after their sorry little
bottoms.
Here's the juice: no one really cares about you or is out to get you.
Hopefully your family and friends care about you, your co-workers, your
boss, perhaps you God. So focus your energies on being positive and making
the most of THOSE people and groups, and you will be happier, healthier, and
more successful.
You will also live in liberty, instead of in the cell you construct in your
own mind.
