Liberal Troother…What will Jason Do
Lesley Hughes, Liberal Candidate...Troother.
Many official sources are claiming to have warned the American intelligence community, which spends $30 billion a year gathering information, about the attacks on the twin towers on that heartbreaking day.German Intelligence (BND) claims to have warned the U.S. last June, the Israeli Mossad and Russian Intelligence in August. Israeli businesses, which had offices in the Towers, vacated the premises a week before the attacks, breaking their lease to do it. About 3000 Americans working there were not so lucky. Lesley Hughes – Get the Truth
(I have been trying to reach Ms. Hughes campaign office for confirmation…line’s busy.)
UpDate: Reached the Campaign Office and spoke to the very pleasant campaign manager, Selina Bieber. They are aware of the story…the Globe and Mail had called. they are trying to verify it. I left my number and said I’d be happy to talk to the candidate.)
Update II Smoking Gun! At the lovely “Canada Wants the Truth Blog” from 2007 “Barrie Zwicker and Lesley Hughes to speak Thursday September 6th, Winnipeg MB Canada
Thursday on the 3rd floor of Mondragon (91 Albert street.) for 7:30 PM, featuring Author, Media Critic Barrie Zwicker & Fromer CBC jounalist, Editor of Canadian Dimension (www.canadiandimension.com) Leslie Hughes will be discussing 9/11.”
Hey, isn’t Barry Zwicker Smilin Jack’s Troother pal??

Update III And here is a report of Ms. Hughes as a panelist at a Troother event.
———-
Update IV: Here we go. Thank you Kate, Blazing, Daimnation and Jonathan Kay at the National Post for linking into this story. With Jonathan we now have MSM ignition….The Post breaks stories, let’s see who follows.
On a side note – I wrote Jonathan to ask him to credit Dr. Dawg and The Black Rod from whom I got the details. So far no call back from Ms. Hughes or her campaign office.
Selina Bieber, Ms. Hughes’ campaign manger who I had a nice chat with this afternoon told me she had already heard from the Globe and Mail – question of the day – will the G&M go with the story or will they sit on it? I am not optimistic. And what of poor Jason? Crickets? Or a head explosion of Biblical proportions?
Update V: The Globe and Mail weighs in – by basically burying the story (they hope) blending it with assorted other candidate outrages.
Winnipeg-area Liberal candidate Lesley Hughes was forced to explain an article she had written about conspiracy theories alleging that the U.S. government was behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and that Israeli businesses had advance warning to vacate the premises. The remarks surfaced a day after she joined Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion in a major public outreach to Canada’s Jewish community.“I find any interpretation of my journalism as anti-Semitic personally offensive and I heartily apologize for that perception,” she said in a statement released late yesterday. globe and mail
Non-apology, apology not accepted: yes, the underlying narrative of the Troothers is implicitly ante-Semitic; but, more importantly, it is batshit crazy. You cannot apologize for being insane – you just have to live with it. But the Liberals are surely not so desperate that they have to nominate crazy people.
But what were the Liberals thinking having Dion sign her nomination papers? More on that tomorrow.

I’m still trying to figure out how an editor of Canadian Dimension ended up as a Liberal candidate. [Scratches head.]

Isn’t Barry Zwicker that whacked out leftie on Vision TV who had the most absurdly far left (and far out) views? I think he was put on the counter the Bible thumpers “end-times” programs that broadcast on the weekends. He was very, very strange.

I’m still trying to figure out why anyone cares what Jason does. [Scratches crotch.]
September 25th, 2008 at 6:02 pm
Well, Dawg, I’m still wondering how a gay gun-lover was actually:
a) hired as a Tory candidate; and,
b) fired as a Tory candidate

So, dey gad da troof eh?
“I don know, a troof is a troof. What kind of troof is a troof? A proof is a troof and when you have a good troof it’s because it’s troofer.”
Dere, Is dat clear now?

Yes that is the same Zwicker.
Congrats to Dawg for exposing this.
9/11 troothers hang out outside the Eaton Center (right beside a group of radical Muslims btw) and it is extremely difficult for me not to (cough) confront them. They enrage me. There are no words for how I feel about them.
This is how to deal with such people: by shaming and naming them. Note: no HRCs were used in the destruction of this candidacy. Just simple (free) speech.

“Congrats to Dawg”
I shall have to re-think my position on global warming. Hell just froze over. : )
Thanks for your courteous note to Jonathan, Jay. But didn’t we all do well? And Cherniak’s position now? “But…the NDP
”

I applaud the people here for doing such a fine job of investigation. The more we know about the candidates the better. Your doing more than the MSM. There is one concern I have though & its not really about what these guys think or not, but the unintended consequences of Profile candidates. They can be more dangerous from being able to hide better, than the dim wits wackos. As well are we now to disqualify runners on not being conformist cookie cutter candidates. Just some questions I asked at SDA.
I think you folks are missing the boat here. This is about the loss to say what one believes no matter how nutty & that is now it appears is used as a PC litmus test of candidates beliefs. Religion has become another. More rights being subsumed under sugar coated meaningless rhetoric. Made deliberately obtuse to confuse. So what if their nuts, let people decide if they agree with them or not at the ballot box.
Are they all to be of one mind in set parameters depending on the party or roll assigned. Is individualism now dead in Canada? Who sets these standards? Are we all to start reading the same script. These are the questions one should be asking & their non-partisan to boot. Seems all the parties are kicking people out who don’t fit a profile. That is scary people. We get less a democracy every election.
I fear for free speech or even the ability to disagree will be not only chilled, but set at absolute cold.
