Richard Warman: not a racist -- he just plays one on the internet.
"Yeah, I'm a fascist, but for the Left..."
-- Woody Allen in Manhattan (1977)
This post must be read to be believed.
Looks like Richard Warman, the ex-Human Rights Commission employee who uses the Commission as his own personal s&m dungeon/ casino, has been well and truly toasted.
FreeDominion says Richard Warman wrote something disturbing at another website that I won't print here because The Shotgun isn't my blog (but FreeDominion claims to have the ISP addresses to prove it).
Be sure to read the whole thing, and, please tell your MP what you think of this use of your tax dollars -- funding employees and ex-employees of the HRC in dubious "undercover" activities.

Thanks for this post, Kathy. I wonder what a search for IP address 66.185.84.204 will reveal on the Western Standard website. As many readers will recall, we recently identified six user names associated with one IP address. There is no doubt that this person was deliberately posting offensive emails to draw negative attention to the Shotgun blog.

Having followed this on other sites, I understand that the HRC decided to drop the charges once it was clear that the posting could be traced back to RW.
The fact that RW no longer worked for the HRC does not change a thing, for he was well versed in their MO and used it for his financial advantage (our tax dollars no less). As we are now learning he is not the only person caught doing the same.
The more we pass on such information to the government, federal and provincial, the more chance we have in getting these kangaroo tribunals shut down. Even if they end up dropping the complaints against the WS, Macleans and Mark Steyn, it is imperative that we keep the pressure on our governments to dismantle them all together.

In light of the fact that RW committed more than one criminal offence (not referring to "hate speech"), we should also ask our MP for an investigation. The investigation would need to include the CHRC, since they appear to have been in collusion with their ex-employee.

As I've been asking,
Just how well would the various HRCs do when scrutinized using their own rules?
I suspect that heterosexual, Christian, white males are being disproportionately impacted by their rulings and investigations and if true, constitute a human rights abuse of an identifiable group.
After all, "disproportionate impact of an identifiable group" is used often as an argument for affirmative action and its equivalent, diversity quotas, here.

I've E-mailed every MSM outlet in Canada the link to Richard Warman's activities asking them to investigate.
Let's see how many media groups truly care about the freedom of speech in Canada.

Brent, could you please translate your post into Engish? I don't read computerese!
Thanks! ;-)

Why did RW choose to name Sen Cools? Was it her race, the fact that she was a woman, or was it because she is a conservative? We kind of assume he didn't mean his post, it was just a trick, but was it?
Why not pick on just about anyone else?
Was the thread discussing Sen Cools? How did her name come up?
Posted by: Stan | 20-Jan-08 8:34:50 PM
BATB: sorry :)
Stan: I think it may be because she is Conservative - and the "worst" kind. I understand she is a Christian.
Posted by: Brent Weston | 20-Jan-08 8:57:11 PM
Warman targetted her because she was in Macleans Magazine that week denouncing "same-sex marriage" and Warman is a member of EGALE.

@Stan .. why would Richard Warman attack Sen. Anne Cools? Richard Warman, as a member of EGALE ( http://www.egale.ca/index.asp?lang=E ) might not be pleased with Sen. Cools considering her opposition to legislation that he presumably supports.
Senator Cools speaks to her concerns that the Bill could be used as a tool to limit freedom of speech and the expression of opinion. ( http://www.sen.parl.gc.ca/acools/english/Speeches/2003/speeches_Oct27.htm )

I, too, have been following this tragic saga in Canada's history of human rights, it's reputation abroad, spying on Canadians and can only add that, like the situation at the RCMP that led to the inquiry - the CHRC is so horribly broken (they never fully addressed the recommendations of the La Forest Report") - it cannot be fixed by further moving deck chairs on the CHRC CS Titanic and a full Police and Judical inquiry is indicated.
I can understand why the Harper government is risk adversive after Gomery and now Mulroney but they were elected to bring new air.
Harper and new Chief Commissioner of the CHRC Lynch - JUST DO IT!

Well 'Bocanut' - don't expect too much as I, too have sent many messages including to my MP, Sen. Cools, the PM and others in the CPC but have yet to even receive a response.
There now are many reasons to consider "bloggers" as journalists (even if you do not agree with their message) for there are several cases in Canada, the EU and the USA (and especially in non-democratic countries)- where they have posted and revealed information, the MSM and the government are too afraid or embarrased to post and respond.
READ Use of Section 37 of the CC!
The various 13.1 actions and Libel suits are just part of the territory unless they create/offshore their servers in 'roque' countries which is a sad state for Canada's industry.
What ever happened to Freedom of Speech?
Posted by: John | 21-Jan-08 3:45:42 AM
John,I may be naive but I'm expecting someone to take these allegations seriously.
A now former employee of CHRC who's submitted 26 cases with 26 decisions in his favour along with monetary gains is now accused of sending fake mulitple slanderous online comments and one most particularly heinious comment about a Member of the Senate using fake names so he can then presumably build up a case to take that website to the CHRC.
If the politicians and MSM in Canada summarily dismiss these allegations I'm sure there are sources in the US that would love to get to the bottom of this story.

In the Marc Lemire case, Warman and the Commission originally said the entire site, not just a few posts, violated Sec. 13. That would include the post freedominion refers to, which was established by expert evidence led by Mr. Lemire at the tribunal. If the "totality of the site" is a violation, part of the totality would be the posts made by Warman.
In the bcwhitepride case, a member of the communist ARA, offshoot of the Communist Party of Canada (Marxist-Leninist), Shane Ruttle Martinez entrapped a Kelowna man. Martinez purloined a real woman's attractive pics, pretended to be a sexy, White nationalist "Rachel" and came on to Mr. Beck. That this was entrapment, that men in the seduction dance tend to boast and maybe overstate their role, say in a website, counted for nothing. The violent past of Mr. Martinez's group counted for nothing. The Commission unashamedly led such tainted sordid evidence and the Tribunal willingly accepted it.
These anti-free speech human rights commissions must go.

The issue goes much deeper and must be viewed in light of the "musings" of Waren Kinsella and Len Rudler who, of course defend Warman without addressing the broader issue of why an "honorable man" should be allowed to do dishonorable things if such allegations are true.
I am just surprised by the lack of media and CPC attention to a potential situation within the CHRC similar to the "broken" one that led to a complete review and change in management within the RCMP.

The "expert technology witness" is Bernard Klatt. Where is the independent verification that "90sAREover"'s IP address is the number Klatt claims it to be? How do we know he didn't just make up an IP address that was close to a known Warman IP? We don't. You are relying entirely on Klatt's word. Now, what's wrong with that you ask? Read on - Klatt is not a neutral party, he has a very good reason to falsify an IP address in order to smear Warman
Hate-literature incidents cited
Canadian Press
27 July 1996
Winnipeg Free Press
PENTICTON, B.C. - A former employee of an Internet provider who lets racist groups spout their views through his service says his ex-boss gave him white supremacist literature.
Tyrone Mills, who worked for Fairview Technology Centre in 1994, says Bernard Klatt gave him literature from the White Aryan Resistance and invited him to an Aryan Nations compound at Hayden Lake, Idaho. ''I said no, I had no interest at all, and that was that,'' said Mills, who worked for Klatt for seven months. ''Another time he asked me, in 1995, to manage his (business) while he was down in Hayden Lake.''
He said Klatt voiced racist views at work and once asked him to take the literature to a friend.
Klatt denied Mills's charges.
The small Internet service in the Okanagan Valley provides access to at least 12 white supremacy and hate groups.
But it could be going off-line. The local cable TV company has cut off Fairview's cable access and ordered Klatt to get his server computer out of its offices.
Klatt said he has no personal contacts with any white supremacist groups and does not espouse their views.

'Roger' is reposting false info. Tyrone Mills claims were false in 1996. They are still false. He has no evidence to substantiate his claims.
'Roger' bables about an IP address being 'close' to a known Warman IP address. The IP address, 66.185.84.204, is not 'close'. It is an exact match.
A better summary is at: http://www.richardwarman.com/covert_ops-90sAreOver.html
Posted by: Bernard Klatt | 28-Feb-08 11:14:03 PM
The IP in question (66.185.84.204) has the host-name wc09.mtnk.rnc.net.cable.rogers.com. "wc" abbreviates "web-cache"; that is, it was not the IP of any single individual subscriber, but the IP of a proxy that served tens of thousands of Rogers customers per day, perhaps hundreds of thousands. I show this in my "Why there is room for doubt that Richard Warman wrote the Cools post", linked to above.

The problem with Klatt's testimony is not whether or not he was ever a nazi. The problem is that it is riddled with errors and wrong on several key questions:
