Fascism, thy name is Oh Canada!
Here is a link to the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa's Visa services for Canadian citizens just in case you wish to escape before it is too late.
But I thought it was the other way around? Bush=Hitler, neocon cabal, Patriot act gulags, etc....?
Wrong. The name Michael J. Bryant should send more chills up your spine than John Ashcroft ever did. Captain Ed has the goods.
UPDATE: Either the Canadians have gotten to Ed or he's way over his bandwidth limit. His site is down. Here is the article in question.

As for me, Canada has done a very good job standing up to fascism in all its forms.

I think Captain's Quarters is providing us all with an object lesson we ought to think about. If the FEC is going to go after bloggers - as I think many of us fear - who's going to set up a blogspot in, say, Costa Rica for the 2008 election? The powers-that-be in Canada are tied in pretzels trying to stop him but they can't because he's in the USA. The powers-that-be in America - at least the lefty ones - want to silence the bloggers too. Plan ahead, O you 20th most influential blog.

Same shit, different asshole, thats the way of the world. Bush is very much Hitler, so have most of the former US presidents been. USA is the only country in the world after 3. Reich to establish huge military bases all around the world and actively conquer/attempt to conquer (Vietnam, Korea =P bwahahaaa losers) countries for even the smallest of reasons, like stopping oil sale to a country that can dig its own darn oil and use that or because they build an airport (Grenada)...
EU is exactly what Hitler dreamt of, a unified Europe with Germans pretty much running the show (well the French too... sort of), yes. But the conquest happened in peaceful ways and by frightening countries with the possibility of Soviet or US invasion, if they didn't group up against em. And now EU also has most money, oil, weapons of mass destruction and the largest, most efficient military force in the world, so I think it's time we determine how we'll share USA with Russia, once all Europe is unified (much like Germany was divided after the Ruskies took Hitlers body, stuffed it and put it on display in the Lenin Museum in St.Petersborough (Leningrad)).

Dear Mr. Finn,
Nice of you to join us.
John Aschroft was the strange Attorney General who was obsessed with dressing naked statues.
Are you advocating using military force against the United States?
Posted by: Collin Baber at April 06, 2005 06:06 AM (fufbw)

Mr. K: I'm not currently under any medication, but if you feel like I should be, feel free to address the problem to the department of health in Oulu, and they will have my mental health examined. If how ever I am not found to be insane, all expences that came from the process of examining (1 psychologist appointment most likely), will be yours to pay.
Collin: Well then Johnie-boy was a funny man, not a fascist =), perhaps a bit insane though, if he was dead-serious.
And using military force against United States is very much an option if your wars keep becoming more and more frequent as they have done during the Bush-periods.(not periods as in periods, even though blood has been spilt a lot during those times)

Actually, most of your military strenght is located quite far from your actual country, therefore a large alliance (or just one country with longrange WoMDs) could easily destroy all major cities and abroad military bases, since they are neatly located on small areas near the coast line or, better yet, on islands.
This would naturally lead into a "fuck this, if America doesn't exist, neither will the rest of the world"-effect, which is launching nukes from your large, empty areas somewhere in the middle. So military offence to actually destroy the country rather than to kill all its military personnel abroad, that actually causes a threat, seems unlikely until an effective anti-missile defence system is developed.

Well, actually, when you get your next democrat president, EU will most likely start increasing trade and co-operation with your country as well as offer to take care of all military conflicts and in that way, help your assumeably wiser-than-Bushwackoes democratic government fix your depressed economy.

In Canada you can be arrested for "thought crimes".
Google "Ernst Zundel". He made the "outrageous" claim that fewer than 6,000,000 Jews died in WWII. He has since been extradited to Germany where they also put people in prison for "thought crime".
If the "Juice" have their way it will soon be like that in the US too. While the truth needs no laws to support it, dogma requires laws to protect it from the light of day.
I suspect that only 5,999,999 Juice died in WWII. That should infuriate you Zionazis into a spiraling hysteria.
And don't give me that anti-semite shit. Freedom of thought and speech is more important than hurting the feelings of the Juice.

Greg,
Zundel wasn't imprisoned by joooos. He was imprisoned by the Leftist Canadian government.
As you know, the jooos run America, but it's no crime here to deny the Holocaust.
Conclusion: Leftists, not jooos, are a threat to freedom.

Carlito,
Obviously it was the Jewish Lobby that pushed and had these laws passed. Don't think for a second that rightists won't succumb to the same pressure.
For your information, Zundel was living in Tennessee when America extradited him to Canada first.

>>>"Obviously it was the Jewish Lobby that pushed and had these laws passed."
Greg,
I guess that's what happens to jooos living in Leftist countries. They start acting like Leftists. Canadian Leftism brings out the totalitarian in all Canadians, not just the jooos. To the point where they ban Fox news and throw preachers in jail for citing Scripture. What a frightening society the Leftists are creating up there. Zundel is paying the price.
But in America, our jooos act like free men living in a free country. So you see, it's culture and tradition and ideology which determine how people will behave, not joooishness.
Posted by: Carlos at April 06, 2005 09:41 AM (tFXpR)
25
Not to mention, there is no "joooish lobby" in Germany, yet they have banned Zundel's literature and all Holocaust denying literature. Socialests.
And Zundel does not merely claim less than 6 million jews were killed. He denies the Holocaust happenned. He's a nazi, and he makes no bones about it.
"I have interviewed Zundel more than once, and have even debated him. In one such encounter, he was forthright about who he was. "Are you a National Socialest?" I asked him. He replied that he was. "Nazi is the short form for National Socialest, Mr. Zundel. Is that what you are? A Nazi?" The answer: "Yes." He was not ashamed of it."

Re Zundel's extradition, Zundel made a mistake of applying for Canadian citizenship. By doing so, he unwittingly set in motion a process that enabled officials - including the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) - to start determining whether he could be denied citizenship on the grounds that he was a threat to national security. To many, there was no doubt he was - he had funded violent neo-Nazi groups in Europe, and he had used his web Zundelsite to propagate hatred around the globe.
Zundel fought hard, flooding the courts with motions and appeals, but he saw the writing on the wall. In December 2000, the Supreme Court of Canada refused to hear any more of his increasingly-arcane legal arguments in the case. A few weeks later, Zundel fled to the United States - where, in a letter issued by one of his lawyers, he renounced his permanent residency status. There, he devoted himself to his Zundelsite, defying a Canadian Human Rights Tribunal order to remove hateful material.
http://www.warrenkinsella.com/words_extremism_rz.htm
U.S. INS agents arrested him at his home outside Knoxville, Tennessee after he had fled Canada Zundel had overstayed his visitor's visa, and the Americans - understandably - wanted him to leave.
So he was extradited because he violated his visa. Had he not done so, it's quite likely he'd still be here stirring up trouble like we allow our jihadists and Arab apologists on the Left to.

"Right. Like their 'hate speech' laws?" - Rusty
I'm simply agreeing with Rusty.
You've have done your homework. What you say about his ciitizenship process is correct. He supposedlly missed an appointment which he denies.
First of all there is a Jewish Lobby in Germany. There is an International Jewiish Lobby whose jurisdiction would include Germany.
Secondly, so what if he's a Nazi. Should that be against the law if he's not being violent? Zundel is a painter of pictures. A peaceful man who loves Germany. No one has ever accused him of being violent. To the contrary his house was burned down to the ground in Canada. Good guess is that it was done by a Jew.
The notion of "thought crimes" iis undemocratic no matter how you slice it.

Greg,
I agree with your basic premise that he's committed no crime, but what I'm saying is that this kind of repression comes naturally to socialest societies, not to conservative ones.
Re the "international joooish lobby," notice how even though they've supposedly taken this country to war against our own interests (say you folks), they have yet to create the climate of repression you claim they have in socialest countries. How is that possible? Not very likely. If jooos can take us to war, they can pass a few hate crime laws.
My conclusion: Leftism is the culprit re Zundel and Germany, not joooishism.

Leftist like those from the right make laws based on political pressures. Where to you suppose the political pressures to outlaw anti "-Holocaust Denial" and "-Holocaust Revisionism" came from. Obvious answer, The JOOOOOS. And just because they haven''t succeeded in instituting these laws here YET doesn't mean they aren't trying and making headway.
As you know we do have hate laws in America so it's a slippery slope. Blame the leftists including the Jewish left who were instrumental in having these laws passed. God help us if a machine is invented that reads minds. Anyone of us could be made into a "thought criminal".
The right is guilty too. There is a movement by the right to make "political paranoia" a bonafied pyschological disorder requiring commmitment to mental hospitals. That's what the Soviets did to their dissidents. If you think it's all about the left you're not being fair.

Greg,
I can only worry about what I actually see happenning, and I only talk to you about what I actually see happenning, i.e., Canada. But you want to create hysteria about what MIGHT happen in the future, which usually never ever comes to pass anyway.
Re laws against "political paranoia", that must be a colorful way of putting it because I have no idea what you're talking about.

“When the 109th Congress convenes in Washington in January, Senator Bill Frist, the first practicing physician elected to the Senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define ‘political paranoia’ as a mental disorder, paving the way for individuals who suffer from paranoid delusions regarding voter fraud, political persecution and FBI surveillance to receive Medicare reimbursement for any psychiatric treatment they receive,” writes Hermione Slatkin, Medical Correspondent for the Swift Report. “Rick Smith, a spokesman for Senator Frist, says that the measure has a good chance of passingsomething that can only help a portion of the population that is suffering significant distress.”
“If you’re still convinced that President Bush won the election because Republicans figured out a way to hack into electronic voting machines, you’ve obviously got a problem,” says Smith. “If we can figure out a way to ease your suffering by getting you into therapy and onto medication, that’s something that we hope the entire 109th Congress will support.”
Characterizing political dissent as a form of mental illness is the hallmark of authoritarian government. In China, for instance, forensic psychiatrists label dissent “political lunacy” (see Jacob Sullum, Head Games: What are the rules for defining mental illness?) and in Soviet Russia political dissenters were routinely cosigned to mental hospitals. Nowadays, with modern pharmacology, mental hospitals are no longer requiredthe mental hospital is internalized through chemical intervention.
No need for FEMA camps or “preventive detention” when we have a “medical armamentarium” of serotonin uptake inhibitors. All that is needed now is for Frist and the Republicans to devise a law defining “political paranoia” and determining that “political paranoiacs” are a threat to society.

Greg,
are you citing the Onion? Sure sounds that way.
Here's what I think. If true, then this is a prank by Frist. If we can get Libs suffering from post-election stress trauma (PEST) to take their meds and get reimbursed for it, then the jokes on them. That's all this is-- a big joke on the loons. Even if the so-called legislation fails to pass, the point has been made and the joke's on them. It's a prank.

Playing "pranks" on the American people is hardly the duty of a US Senator. This is no prank. It is the excercise of unabashed political power. With a Republican House,, Senate and Supreme Court there's nothing to stop thiis sort of legalistic bullying. We are witnessing the death of democracy in America. People who go to a political rally in honor of the fuhror wearing an annti-Bush T-shirt are arrrested by the Secret Service. Now how does a T-shirt pose a threatt to thhe Tyrant Bush?

No country is really a democracy, since "democracy" itself means that the people make all decisions, govern the country and handle all business and affairs as a one.
USA's system is more like an oligarky, a system where the richest control and select the people in charge, and therefore hold the ultimate power in the nation.

There's no use complaining about methods of governing a country, unless there is no other way to influence them. A diverse, large country requires some pretty mean ways of control to keep it as a one. Waging war on not so popular countries is a bad way of doing that, so it is necessary to keep the opposition silent at home, where it influences people, who might revolt, and shit like in 1917-Russia might happen.
Most of the large scale anti-Bush gatherings must've been organized by the democrats or a large operation determined to disrupt order, therefore it is necessary for your government to take offensive measures and perhaps violate the principles of freedom of speech. When such movements are allowed to grow in a country pretty much crawling with newspeople, it would get publicity and keep growing. It has been seen what that leads into:
During the Cold War people went red all over, and when it got too big, you started attacking countries turning red and threw all reds in your country to jail. This kind of politics is exactly why people around the world started hating your country, and that is why all such large, contraversial operations are held in secret or suppressed with imprisonments. (Also, if enough people go anti-Bush, they go pro-democrat/liberal/greenparty, and then there won't be another republican president for 30 years, so---wouldn't really bother me--- the country would be heavily divided in half)
And you have pretty much no gun restrictions, so who knows what kind of army might pop up in the event of disorderly conduct spreading through the nation.

Reindeer milking contests? Hmm... interresting idea. Friggin wierd, but interresting. The snow shoveling championships are held in January, not much snow right now. I'm not really interrested in moving to your country, since here I don't really have to much to live a rich life thanks to advanced social services and the variety of cushy jobs available in the EU to highly educated Finns.
Besides, we had baseball before you did, it was called kössipallo, and it wasn't running around in a diamond shape thingie, it was in a zigzag-and-back-pattern. The national sport now is a variation of kössipallo, pesäpallo, same zigzag, but the passes go directly upward and there are lines within which the ball must touch if the strike isn't foul.
AND, bwahahaaa, the first time we entered the American Football World Championships, we WON the whole tournament and became the world champions with less than a years game experience. (Guess we're naturally brawlers or have a strong killer instinct)
Basketball is fun, sort of, but not very popular around here. Last, no I won't get you drugs, since I would have to go 100miles east to Russia to get cheap ones without being in some diagnosed state of insanity (once more: department of health in Oulu can be notified, if you consider me insane. They'll arrange a psychologist session, and you have to pay for it, if I don't turn out to be insane. If, however, my mental state is questionable, I will most likely recieve medication treatment, and you will be notified of it).

Since Finland (despite what the Spanish think) is a part of Europe, we get over 3000 channels (this far I've gone through about 1000) from all over Europe,(great way to learn new languages, since usually subtitled only in French or German (the darn channels are useless without at least high school level language knowledge)) and also many of your channels. For some reason I can't find MTV though... just MTV Europe, and that's full of mushy pop.
"Ni puhu suome" is actually : Yeah, speak Finnish! in a Turku-slang kind of way. Bet you heard that in Runescape... I understand the language is hard, even Russians, who have been living right (or left perhaps...) next door still can't understand Finnish well enough to translate whatever comes out of Finnish TV-system to their side of the border and complain how this and that insults their country and then get annoyed when it was actually something completely different.

I learned that in a bar in Aanekoski (sp?), I worked for a few days at Metsu Serla paper plant. They serve beer in the cafeteria, pretty good policy in my view. I got a speeding ticket in Finland. I had no clue what the fucking road signs said, or how fast kph is. Finnish HP aimed automatic weapon at me when I could not get the door open fast enough. I never paid the ticket.

Yeah, foreign people looking hasty and making quick movements are easily mistaken for some Russian smuglers. If you had had some drinks as well, you were actually in quite deep shit when stopped driving at a speed too high. Luckily, tickets in Finland are determined by how much money you have and how much you make money in a year, so you would probaply gotten away with it for a hundred euros or something.

AFINN: I see you're not one of the 5%. Ain't life a bitch. They took our slaves away. Replaced them with the minimum wage law. A liberal thing. They are still slaves but minimum wage employee sounds better to a moonbat.
You have television in Finland? I quess that's another of your inventions. You know TV, Telephone, computer.
By the way. Has Finland ever given anything to the rest of the world by way of invention? Or do you merely claim to be well educated but never had a first idea in your countries history? News for you chump. Supposed to be well educated claim doesn't hold water. What world renowned university is in Finland? Do foreign students beg, borrow and steal to get into your universities as they do in America.
Talk about dogs. Take a look at your president.
Talk about the big dog?
That deserves a (2).

AFINN: I sincerely hope you don't take comments about your country personal. Only Americans are not supposed to take offense when foreigners say derogatory things about their country.
Please remember you came onto this American owned and operated Blog and immediately downgraded peoples religious preferences. Then you started in on America's policies. Next was our elected leaders. Discussiion is one thing. Degrating ones country is another. There is much wrong in America. Most of us will agree. Much of what our president is doing is suspect, excluding the war where I feel he is right on. Feel free to suggest, but keep your criticism until you can understand the complexity of America.
Easy to throw stones when you sit by the wayside. Do nothing, you may no mistakes but get nowhere. Our young people are sacrificing themselves for what is right. Some are getting a feel ride in this war against Islamofacism. Not a proud thing.
You have had much to say that I agree with. But your method sucks.
Also you refuse to share.

Actually, some Finnish inventions are quite famous. When Germans were offering military aid to the Valkoiset (whites, the right wing of that time) back when the Punaiset (reds, the left wing of that time) tried to start a communist system between the 2 WW:s, there was a later to be well known German man in that unit, who took quite an interrest in our way of handling the communist prisoners. Keskitysleiri, the consentration camp. Can't leave this with only bad things, we also have a Nobel prize winner, who invented a way to preserve grain for up to 10 times longer than what it could be preserved for before, the AIV, whatever it's name is in English. Of course, Nokia has invented all kinds of mobile phone models never before heard of...
Anyway, "the Senate and the people of Rome"... perhaps you mean that Rome collapsed because it had become a wellfair state, that didn't pay attention to military threats? (No, I won't eat shit, thats just sick (or beyond kinky if you feel that stuff might actually be something sexual))
Actually, Europeans (not saying that I am not one) have started trying to get into Finland to study after we got first place in all things PISA examined and became some sort of a role model for their countries' education system development. And Esko Aho, a former Finnish prime minister, is actually a professor in either Yale or Harvard, teaching economics, so that makes me seriously concerned about the quality of your renowned university, even if that guy is an extremely skilled businessfellow, who managed to make the country profit from the eighties when all other countries were suffering of depression. And our current president IS most likely a mix of dog and bald rat, now we never have to have any women in charge. (When did I say Finns invented TV, computers and telephones (this one was Alexander Bell, I believe...)? Just said Nokia makes computers, and I got one instead of a Jap-comp or something made in India, that you call American computers)
And greyrooster: Ok, I'll try finding some drugs for you if I happen to take a cruise ship to Estonia this summer. The war in Iraq could've been avoided by assassinating Saddam and having the UN send peacecorps (that would've been you and Finns, as we are usually more than happy to go on military missions approved by the UN, good practice, and since have no real enemies, casualties are low) to control the masses now lacking a leader.
I don't like Bush, I think he only got elected since his daddy was a president before him, and now he is trying make himself a better man than his father was in handling the Middle East crisises, so he is doing what is right the wrong way (I think this guy was the only elected leader of yours I've mentioned). The attack on religion was later explained in the Pope is dead/dying thingie as an attempt to find out what God really was to the actual people living in a country, were religion effects everything. American policies are pretty much the same as which ones are running the show for the... 6, 5, 10, 12 years?, so basically that would be anti-Bush... or something like that.
Nice going with making Arnold Schwartzenegger, made me want to go to California to check out the Terminator preaching about the importance of protecting the environment. Seriously, excellent. Shows that anyone famous enough can get immense power over a state, even if not born in US or Canada. Maybe I'll try to become the senator of Delaware once I... create a action-movie career or win American Idol on the year I'm running for senator.

Again, the best thing that came out of Finland is the Rapala, and only the shallow diving minnow is worth a damn.
It was 100 Finnmarks for the fine, that was in '93.

Two Finn hunters from Pori got a pilot to fly them to Inari to hunt Reindeer. They bagged 6.
As they started loading the plane for the return trip,the pilot said the plane could only take 4 reindeer.
The two Finns objected strongly. "Last year we shot 6,and the pilot let us put them all on board; he had the same plane as yours."
Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all 6 were loaded. However, even on full power, the little plane couldn't handle the load and went down a few moments after take-off.
Climbing out of the wreck one Finn asked the other,"Any idea where we are?"
"Yaaaah I think were pretty close to where we crashed last year.."

Brad: WHY FINNS CAN'T BE PARAMEDICS
A couple of Finns are out in the woods hunting when one of them
suddenly grabs his chest and falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing. His eyes are rolled back in his head.
The other Finn whips out his cell phone and calls 911.
He gasps to the operator, "I think Sven is dead! What should I do?"
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy and
follow my instructions. First, let's make sure he's dead."
There is a silence...... and then a shot is heard.
The second Finn's voice comes back on the line, "Okay, now what?"

Ya know, I have a daughter about his age. Ya, lets keep it clean.
He does seem pretty worldly though. I posted something above on the stripper
band and he seemed to know quite a bit about it.(this was before I realized he was a kid).

A FINN: My compadrades and myself are just having a little fun. You did bring up some very enlightening things concerning your country. Attacking Arnold is low. The man is a hero. I'm not just speaking about the movies.
I will be back in a few days. Hope to chat more with you then.
I have a long drive to Venice, La. Gone fishing. We try to leave the dock at 4:00 AM. Tuna will be on the menu. Will be back when the fish quits biting or my back gives out.
By the way. How do you get a one armed Finlander out of a tree?
Wave to him.

It was 11 pm, and I'm in my second year in lukio (high school, sixth grade in britain.. whatever) Why Sven? The halfswedes living by the coast don't hunt, they are pussies. And in that joke here the hunters are actually Texans... The easiest way to get a one armed Finn out of the tree... don't know, but the easiest way to drop a two armed Swede is to start singing " Life is life..." and he would clap his hands and go nanaanaanana...

That wasn't meant as an attack... Arnold Schwartzenegger is an example of a succesful Austrian getting very much power without any training in governing anything.

Finn: Bourbon is a type of American whiskey, correct. And as Greyrooster points out, we are just kidding with you. You're abright lad. As I said before, your English is pretty good--better than that of some Americans.
