More on Canada's Latest "Hate Law" Victim Arthur Topham
 
 
 On May 16, members of the RCMP and British Columbia's "hate squad" led by
Detective/Constable Terry Wilson, raided the Quesnel home of publisher Arthur
Topham and for nine hours ransacked his house. They seized his Apple computer
and memory sticks. They also seized his firearms. "I keep a Winchester rifle
as we're in Grizzly Bear country and my mining exploration takes me into the
creeks where there are many bears," Mr. Topham says.
 
Although the warrant was not issued until 4:55 p.m., Mr,. Topham was arrested
and taken away in handcuffs at noon that day. Mr. Topham was charged under
Sec. 319(2) of the Criminal Code -- Canada's notorious "hate law." Mr.
Topham's alleged offences occurred, according to the warrant April 28, 2011
and May 14, 2012. Mr. Topham told CAFE in an interview that the complainants
were his nemesis Harry Abrams, a Victoria operative of the League for Human
Rights of B'nai Brith and serial Canadian Human Rights Act complainant under
Sec. 13 (Internet censorship) Richard Warman. Abrams filed a Sec. 13 complaint
against Mr. Topham for material on his website The Radical Press.com.
--www.radicalpress.com. After Marc Lemire's victory September 2, 2009 which
resulted in Sec. 13 essentially being declared unconstitutional, the Abrams
complaint was adjourned sine die, until all appeals in the Lemire case are
exhausted.
 
It would appear the "hate law" charges are the latest effort to silence the
anti-Zionist gadfly of the Cariboo.
 
The conditions of Mr. Topham's release undertaking are brutal. He must
"abstain from communicating directly or indirectly with Richard Warman or
Harry Abrams." He must "abstain from possessing a firearm" and, in the spirit
of gagging the victim even before a trial in a manner that would make the Red
Chinese proud, Mr. Topham must "not access the Internet or be in possession of
a device that would be capable of accessing the Internet except in the course
of lawful employment."
 
"As the secretary of the Cariboo Mining Association, I maintain their website
and I need access to the Internet," he adds.
 
As this case may take three years or more to reach Court, Mr. Topham is
essentially silenced. Canada's "hate laws" are abuse by process.
 
The computer hard drive and memory sticks contain banking and business
information relating to Mr. Topham's employment. He is involved in "placer
mining in Grizzly Bear country." He has been organizing men and equipment for
surface gold exploration. Without access to his records, he is financially
crippled to say nothing about being defenceless while living and working in
bear country. Just today, Mr. Topham told CAFE, "one of the men  reported
evidence of fresh bear droppings and a kill just above the claim where we were
working."
 
In questioning Mr. Topham, "hate squad" head Terry Wilson seemed especially
interested an appalled by what he assumed was a book Mr. Topham had published.
Mr. Topham's website contains material entitled Israel Must Perish. Wilson was
outraged at the title. Mr.  Topham had to disappoint him. "I told him it was a
parody. I had merely reprinted portions the hateful Zionist tract Germany Must
Perish including the cover and, wherever the word Germany occurred, I changed
it to Israel. It's the Zionists, not I, who should be charged with 'hate,'" he
says.
 
Mr. Topham's first scheduled Court appearance is October 9 but his lawyer
Douglas H. Christie is seeking, in  the meantime,  to have at least his
business related information returned to him.
