Made Simpler: One Question Ken McVay Won't Answer About the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada R_0219
Beaver Cleaver
which is funded (in part) through the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith
Canada---
Ken-- if the League for Human Rights is truly an agency safe guarding human
rights for everyone then why are they on record as giving financial support to a
known communist rabble rouser like David Lethbridge; "curator" of the Bethune
Institute?
IOW how can an organization claim they are fighting for "human rights" when they
support people who espouse an ideology (communism) which has the most abhorrent
record of all (and still does)?
I posted this recently and you have yet to make any comment:
(Your minions have piled on with personal attacks, name call, and insults BUT
they can't refute the self evident truths an organization which claims to
protect human rights finances communists!)

1999 Audit of anti-semitic incidents
The Struggle Against Antisemitism and Hate
...A Chill in the Air
In the past year the League has become aware of a trend whereby extreme right
wingers engage in libel law suits, attempting to impose a "libel chill" on human
rights advocates. Most notably, Eileen Pressler and her husband have
successfully sued anti-racist activist David Lethbridge in British Columbia...

Notice the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith refers to communist David
Lethbridge as a "human rights activist!"

THE ULTRA-RIGHT ESCALATES ITS ATTACKS
by David Lethbridge
Last year it became evident that a new tactic was being hatched by the extreme
right... Fromm goes on to suggest, "in a more sinister development," that the
"B'nai Brith is using its charitable status to raise funds for the communist
agitator."... <END>
David Lethbridge is a communist and he is an agitator and he was bank rolled by
B'nai Brith as has been already proven!!!!

THE B'NAI BRITH CANADA
League for Human Rights
[A] set-back for the anti-racist movement in B.C., indeed across Canada, came
with the court's finding in favour of Eileen and Klaus Pressler in their
defamation suit against Dr. David Lethbridge. The Salmon Arm couple sued CHBC (a
Kelowna television station) and Lethbridge, a psychology professor and human
rights activist, on the basis of one eight minute television news story in 1993
that allegedly impugned their reputations by “unfairly casting them as white
supremacists and neo-Nazi hate mongers”.... As Lethbridge's lawyer, Irvine
Epstein. Q.C. put it: “This case is about the right, and indeed the duty of a
concerned citizen to inform and educate others in opposition to those who preach
racial hatred, bigotry and intolerance.”
The B'nai Brith Lodge and League in B.C. continue to provide moral and financial
support to Lethbridge through a province-wide and national fundraising campaign.
An appeal is planned as the eyes of the anti-racism and human rights community
are on this very important case. <END>
Thus B'nai Brith provided financial support for a communist agitator!

THE SPECTRE OF GLOBAL FASCISM
By David Lethbridge, Director, Bethune Institute for Anti-Fascist Studies
1999 WAS A YEAR of struggle in the anti-fascist movement. The Bethune Institute,
carrying out a consistently militant approach, was able to achieve a number of
successes...
But the main threat facing the working class of every nation is the growing
possibility of global state fascism. We must examine this possibility seriously,
neither giving way to hysterical exaggeration, nor refusing to draw the
necessary conclusions from objective political, economic, and historical
analysis.
The driving force toward global fascism is US imperialism. Like an
ever-expanding bloodstain, it is spreading and deepening its influence into
every corner of the world. Intent on global economic domination, it is backed up
by a ruthless and sophisticated military machine...
But to many workers today, the idea of global US fascism is literally
unthinkable. Imperialist control of ideology means that the very mode in which
people think is manipulated. The ideological attack against socialism,
Communism, and working-class power continues unabated. Further, since elections
continue to be held, and the State continues to operate through a multi-party
system, the spectre of global fascism remains largely invisible at very centre
of its production.
In this context, it is worth quoting what Lenin wrote in 1919, as fascism first
began to take hold: "The forms of domination may vary: capital manifests its
power in one way where one form exists, and in another way where another form
exists - but essentially the power is in the hands of capital, whether there are
voting qualifications or some other rights or not - in fact, the more democratic
it is the cruder and more cynical is the rule of capitalism. One of the most
democratic republics in the world is the United States of America, yet nowhere
is the power of capital, the power of a handful of multimillionaires over the
whole of society, so crude and so openly corrupt as in America" (The State,
Collected Works, v. 29)
Yet global US fascism is more an undeniable possibility than an accomplished
reality. Counter-trends are developing. Mass movements opposing corporate
globalization are maturing. The working class and the peasantry, especially in
South America, is rising and showing signs of strength. Organized labour in
North America is reaching toward left positions. Socialist and Communist parties
around the world are holding their own and building their base. <END>
David Lethbridge is a communist B'nai Brith fully endorses!

After a visit to the Soviet Union, in 1935, he organized the Montreal
Group for the Security of the People's Health, the first organization in Canada
to fight for socialized medicine and universal free medical care. It was in that
same year he joined the Communist Party of Canada and dedicated himself to the
struggle against fascism...
In 1938, Bethune went to China to help Mao-Tse Tung's revolutionary army
defeat the Japanese imperialists... As a Communist, he fought against fascism
and won the gratitude of the working class of the whole world..." <END>

"Let us have done, then, with the miserable deception of anti-communism. It has
served Hitler and Mussolini well, but not the enslaved German and Italian
people. It may have a pleasing sound in Tory ears, and salve the consciences of
some spinsterish British labor leaders, but it is rank dishonesty nevertheless."

...As long as capitalism exists, the threat of fascism will never be eliminated.
Fascism, as a social and political movement, is a form of capitalism that does
away with the pretence of parliamentary democracy, and rules instead by force
and terror.
Today, neo-fascism is again on the rise... Fascist ideas have entered the social
mainstream and are shifting the political consensus ever further to the right.
In order to help combat and defeat contemporary fascism, the Bethune Institute
is providing an on-going series of documents exposing every facet of this most
anti-democratic form of political expression.
But neo-fascism cannot be eliminated without a radical transformation of
society. Capitalism breeds racism and fascism the way a fly breeds maggots.
The struggle against fascism, and its organized racist core, is at the same time
a revolutionary struggle against capitalism itself....
<END>
That revolution against capitalism is a communist revolution and Norman Bethune
was, in fact, a communist who supported Chairman Mao in his slaughter of
millions of anti-communists.

(Excerpts)
In Memory of Norman Bethune
by MAO TSE-TUNG December, 1939
Comrade Norman Bethune, a member of the Communist Party of Canada, was around
fifty when he was sent by the Communist Parties of Canada and the United States
to China... He arrived in Yenan in the spring of last year, went to work in the
Wutai Mountains, and to our great sorrow died a martyr at his post. What kind of
spirit is this that makes a foreigner selflessly adopt the cause of the Chinese
people's liberation as his own? It is the spirit of internationalism, the spirit
of communism, from which every Chinese Communist must learn. Leninism teaches
that the world revolution can only succeed if the proletariat of the capitalist
countries supports the struggle for liberation of the colonial and semi-colonial
peoples and if the proletariat of the colonies and semi-colonies supports the
proletariat of the capitalist countries. Comrade Bethune put his Leninist line
into practice. We Chinese Communists must also follow this line in our practice.
We must unite with the proletariat of all the capitalist countries, with the
proletariat of Japan, Britain, the United States, Germany, Italy and all other
capitalist countries, for this is the only way to overthrow imperialism... <END>
NEED I SAY MORE? Norman Bethune was a Comrade of MAO TSE-TUNG himself and the
Bethune Institute is nothing more than a communist front for revolution and
subversion!

Welcome to the University of Toronto
Communist Club's Page!
We are a group of activists on campus who work and fight for the introduction of
progressive gains when possible. But most of the time we are fighting against
the forces of the right-wing that are trying to drive all of society,
universities included, back to the old, UGLIER days of capitalism. Here in
Ontario we are fighting the drastic and ill-conceived cuts to virtually every
area in which workers have made gains since the 1930s. Our membership is open to
students, staff, and faculty. Our outlook is revolutionary...
In the past few years our club's work has been in various areas including
anti-racism... As Communists, we also look at the long-term project of building
a socialist Canada.

Does this self evident wisdom hold true?
"If communism and fascism both lead to the same end, ie. totalitarianism, Why is
it that anyone who challenges and exposes international fascism is "good", and
anyone who challenges and exposes international communism is "bad"?"
http://www.niagara.com/~freedom/anticom/comweb.htm
"...Beware of any organization that champions equality but only denounces
fascism. Communism has enslaved far more people than fascism. Any organization
that condemns fascist atrocities while denying or ignoring communist atrocities
is most certainly a communist organization. Remember also that "equality" to a
communist means the equality of slavery."
