Canadian Jewish Congress Organized Nazi Party

Ezra Levant
June 14, 2009

Editor's note: Ezra Levant's revelations about the Canadian Jewish Congress
organizing the Canadian Nazi Party has a corollary in the United States.
Although not covered by the corporate media, Morris Dees' Southern Poverty Law
Center played a role in the OKC bombing, as revealed in the following
declassified FBI memo:

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36475

(Name redacted) telephone call from (name redacted) on or about 4/17/95, two
days prior to the OKBOMB attack, when (name redacted) of the SPLC, wasin the
white supremacist compound at (redacted), Oklahoma, notes the director."

The Daily Gazette reports, "References to an informant working for the SPLC
at Elohim City on the eve of the Oklahoma City bombing raises serious
questions as to what the SPLC might know about McVeigh's activities during the
final hours before the fuse was lit in Oklahoma City - but which the SPLC has
failed to disclose publicly."

Dees confirmed the presence of an informant at Elohim City at a recent press
conference, the paper reported.

"If I told you what we were doing there, I would have to kill you," Dees
replied when asked to explain.

Dees has been critical of the so-called right-wing militia movement in the
U.S., having written books and articles about the subject. His critics believe
the attacks have been exploitive and designed to raise donations for his
tax-exempt foundation.

The memo and its revelations should be taken into consideration now that
corporate media hysteria concerning alleged Holocaust museum shooter James von
Brunn has reached a fever pitch and CBS journalists are calling for a round-up
of "right-wing extremists."

(From a letter to the Ottawa Citizen from Levant, April 27, 2009)

http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Nazis+best+simply+ignored/1536856/story.html

In 1965 and 1966, the Canadian Jewish Congress helped organize the
fledgling Canadian Nazi Party. That sounds crazy, but it's true, and I wrote
about it in Shakedown, my new book about Canada's human rights commissions.

In a letter to the editor in the Citizen last week, the CJC's current
co-president, Rabbi Reuven Bulka, called my book's description of the CJC's
role "fiction." He said all the CJC did for the Nazis was buy them a bottle of
rum.

It's true that the CJC did buy drinks for Nazis in the 1960s. That's
pretty strange in itself, and I'd like to hear more of Rabbi Bulka's
thoughts on spending Jewish charitable donations that way. But the CJC did a
lot more than that: they hired an ex-cop named John Garrity to go to work for
the Canadian Nazi Party.

Garrity helped organize that rag-tag band of losers, though they never
amounted to anything except for fodder for the press.

There were only a dozen active Nazis when Garrity joined them and they
weren't really a political party. He called them "harmless misfits," and they
were - their leader, John Beattie, was a nervous, gaunt, unemployed
24-year-old clerk who spent much of his time dodging angry Jews who tried to
beat him up. (One of Garrity's jobs was to help Beattie escape street fights.)

Garrity brought more than just rum to the Nazis. He brought with him
pretty much the only organizational talent the group had. They put him in
charge of membership. Garrity called himself the "Heinrich Himmler" of the
party, and a "Nazi leader for the Jewish Congress."

I'd like Rabbi Bulka's thoughts on that, too.

Of course, Garrity helped his paymasters at the CJC, too, giving them
information about the names of party members and donors. And when Garrity
finally quit the Nazis, he wrote a tell-all about his adventure in Maclean's
magazine.

Garrity larded that report with personal insults toward Beattie and the
Nazis. But he did acknowledge that they had never done, or even contemplated
doing, anything illegal. All of the violence he witnessed was directed at
Beattie, usually by Jewish vigilantes. "Sadly, it is the . anti-Nazi
extremists who, in their attempts to destroy Beattie, provide him with most of
the publicity he craves. If it weren't for the riots and the assaults and the
public protest meetings they hold, there'd be no real news in Beattie,"
Garrity wrote.

And that is the importance of this story and why I put it in my book about
human rights commissions. Beattie hadn't done anything illegal. He was just a
loser who believed in a discredited ideology. But the CJC wanted to bring in
political censorship laws and I believe they needed to build up the threat to
persuade Parliament to abridge Canada's freedom of speech.

Garrity puffed up a group of Nazi nobodies into a national menace, first
through organizational support and then through spectacular media publicity.
And, sure enough, Parliament enacted section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights
Act, which censors offensive speech.

That's become a pattern. Twenty years after the Canadian Nazi Party
vanished, CSIS, Canada's spy agency, inserted an operative named Grant
Bristow into another rag-tag racist group called the Heritage Front.

Unlike Garrity, Bristow didn't play second-fiddle.

He became the boss, turning the Heritage Front into Canada's leading white
supremacist group. This time it wasn't just Jewish money that was spent
propping up neo-Nazis - all taxpayers paid for it.

Which brings us to the present day - and back to Rabbi Bulka and the
section 13 censorship law. Canada's largest customer of section 13 is
Richard Warman, who has been the complainant in all but two cases heard by the
tribunal this decade. The CJC was so impressed that they gave Warman an award.

But, in a stunning human rights tribunal ruling last month, Warman himself
was rebuked for posting anti-Semitic comments on Stormfront, a neo-Nazi
website, including a message calling Jews "scum." Warman has stated that he
was attempting to gather information on real Nazis, but the tribunal called
his actions "disappointing and disturbing," and ruled that he risked
encouraging more hateful messages himself.

Warman's actions appalled the tribunal, but apparently not the CJC. Just as
the CJC did with Garrity, Nazi opponents continue to stir up neo-Nazi
incidents - as if there aren't enough real threats to Jews as it is.

Perhaps Rabbi Bulka can explain that one, too. (End of letter)

I'm pleased that the Citizen gave me so much room to reply. In doing my
research I found out a lot more about the CJC's role in building up the Nazi
Party - one of the craziest stories I've ever come across. I think it's
fascinating from so many angles: politically; religiously; legally;
historically. It really is stranger than fiction. I think there's enough
material there to form an entire book in itself - especially when added to the
CJC's discreditable conduct in the Grant Bristow affair, and their ongoing,
unseemly relationship with Stormfront member Richard Warman.
Incredibly, the CJC still stands by Warman even after the Canadian Human
Rights Tribunal condemned him for his anti-Semitic propaganda. You'd think
that would be something the Jewish Congress might care about.

My only quibble with the Citizen is with the headline they put over the op-ed:
"Neo-Nazis are best simply ignored". I don't believe that and that's not the
message of my op-ed. It's a false dichotomy to set up the only two
alternatives as "ignoring" Nazis, or doing what the CJC does (building them
up, then getting the government to prosecute them). I think there are plenty
of other options, such as rebutting and debating neo-Nazis, campaigning
against them, teaching against them, politicking against them, etc. That takes
more work than the lazy CJC would do - they're too busy campaigning against
global warming.

Part of me hopes that Burny [CJC CEO Bernie Farber] will write another
historically revisionist reply for Rabbi Bulka to sign, so I can take
another whack at them. But the more collegial part of me hopes that Rabbi
Bulka will cut his losses and stop covering for his organization's bad
behaviour 40 years ago - and their bad behavior today.
