  OT: Canadian Publisher in Kangaroo Court--- Alberta Human "Rights" Commission         


Author: Lute
Date: Jan 15, 2008 13:10

http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=28582_Outrage_of_the_Week-_Canadia...

This is a real life video (in 3 parts) of one of the most chilling
scenarios one could envision, a kangaroo court, suppressing political
speech, in the name of "human rights." Do you wonder how the Nazis
came to power in 1930's Germany? It can happen here in North
Americ
--- and perhaps already is happening. This is NOT fiction.
Orwell's "1984" is finally here.

Hi Jeffrey,

There are quite a bunch of Bahá'í prayer books, there must be some
reason to publish them;-)

I think often about the prayer for the Hands of the Cause in those,
who will probably disappear soon and be forgotten, like the ones for
the Guardian was literally erased from the heterodox Bahá'í community.
Soon there will be so much differences between the Faith of
Bahá'u'lláh during the first Guardian's time and today's, that any
seeker will readily look for the Orthodox Bahá'ís.

Sincerely,

Martin

  1-15-08 - CAUTION Newcomers __*** Psychological War Zone ***

CAUTION *** Psychological War Zone *** Newcomers __
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Caution.htm

Baha'i fundamentalists are highly adept at manipulating
and controlling information / disinformation and public
perception, on and off the Internet.

I caution you that appearances are deceiving on Wikipedia,
talk.religion.bahai and alt.religion.bahai, as elsewhere
in bahai cyberspace, BeliefNet, Talisman9, "unenrolled" Baha'i
Yahoo Group, at times the DMOZ and Google directories, and
so on, playing the game of "good cop, bad cop,"*** all of which
have been prime tactics and arenas of Baha'i propaganda and
used to identify and manage dissent.

"I do think it's convenient for some to focus on the messenger--why?--
it conveniently deflects attention from the message." -Bernard Goldberg, Bias

"The ideas that rebels expound tend not to be attacked by those in power.
The latter are inclined rather to kill the messenger by character assassination.
For example, one rebel was said to be a womanizer... bitter... disloyal... and
even, in the words of one accuser, dangerously mentally ill." -C. Tarvis, social psychologist

  1-15-08 - Why I Don't Respond to Baha'i Fundamentalists

Why I Don't Respond to Baha'i Fundamentalists
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/Why1.htm

Having observed the tactics of fundamentalists among
my fellow bahais for over twenty-seven years, I've learnt
a few things about the way they operate:

1. Ad Hominem, Scapegoat, Libel, Slander, Defame, Demonize,
Cast in a False Light, Ostracize, Shun, Banish, Smear, Discredit,
Suppress, Attack, Bully, Intimidate, Threaten, Malign, Silence,
Harass, Deceive, etc., etc., the individual...all of which has
become known as "The Baha'i Technique":
http://www.fglaysher.com/bahaicensorship/technique.htm

2. Lure into supposed discussion then cut the jugular.

3. Work together to create the perception for uninformed non-bahais
that the individual in question is unbalanced, aberrant, "spamming,"
a liar, a slanderer, crazy, disgruntled, reprobate, paranoid, nasty,
obnoxious, mean, enemy of faith, violator of Covenant, Cyberstalker,
etc.... No explanation, substantiation, justification for any of
these attacks and slanders will EVER be forthcoming no matter how,
or how frequently, one asks.
