Make of it what you will ...

I posted a link to the story of the child-raping Afghan National Police to Terry Glavin's blog five times. He's deleted every one. Here's my letter to him (also deleted):

Still no response to the stories of child-raping Afghan National Police Terry?
What's wrong with your blog, deleting inconvenient things like that?
I understand you went to Afghanistan. I wonder, if you'd seen any Karzai officials raping children, did you simply look the other way?
(And then write some pompous drivel about how critics of "the mission" are betraying the people of Afghanistan?)
You could argue the story is false. You could argue some lame nonsense about how raping children arises out of poor training. Or, you could incorporate this harsh reality into your blinkered view of the world and perhaps come out sadder and wiser.
Instead, you choose to gutlessly delete these references.

I guess the reason that I'm so incensed by this gutlessness is that, ... oh for god's sake, ... isn't being opposed to the rape of children some sort of litmus test for something?

But yet, Glavin will slither away from discussing this assault on his delusions but then type crap like this:
During the Israel-Hezbollah war last summer, this column examined Canada's so-called antiwar movement, and concluded that its conduct was squalid, and its "peace" was really about opposing Israel.
I expressed support for the struggles of the Palestinian people, but I pointed out that there's another, much larger, war going on. It's a war against modernity, against the emancipation of women, against the Jews, and against everything any self-respecting liberal or socialist or democrat has ever stood for.
...
This time, I'm here to say Canada's main "antiwar" groups have finally, fully, and openly exposed themselves to be active participants in that war. And they're on the side of the enemy.
For those of my readers who will continue to insist after reading this that that they are "shocked" and "appalled" that I write disparagingly about the key leadership of this country's "anti-war" movement, I'm afraid we no longer have anything to discuss.
For the last time, I am not "smearing the anti-war movement." The anti-war movement has disgraced itself.

Really Terry? So, where does child-rape fit in with "modernity, ... the emancipation of women, ... and ... everything any self-respecting liberal or socialist or democrat has ever stood for"? What version of the Whig Interpretation of History has child-rape as one of the stages on the path to liberal democracy.
And now, check out the vermin inhabiting Glavin's comments section:

Great investigative blogging!The results and links your investigation has turned up are indeed shocking but not unexpected.The common thread between fanatical Islam and radical dogmatic communism is a shared mythology which holds "Zionists" (roughly translated this means the Jewish mercantile class of the world) responsible for all the failings of utopian idealists to produce the social utopia promised by the dogma to their constituents.As Islamists and paleo-communists wallow deeper in the obvious failings and human misery of outdated/errant social theory, they become more adamant to scapegoat someone/something for their falling short of utopia....as with all intellectually degenerate ideologies they trot out a scapegoat…the oldest one being the mythology of the vast conspiracy of the Joooooos. They seed it into the culture of their constituency as a placebo for dystopian mysery and a diversionary focal point for their follower's anger."Oh so you have no running water in your village comrade Alli?...this is because the globalist imperialism of Zionist Jewry does not want you to have it...the sons of Monkeys keep those
of the true faith in bondage to their international capitalist tyranny...they are the great Satan’s financiers...Islam can only be free when the Zionist pigs are driven from our lands (the genocide of Israel) and the Zionist imperialists taste the wrath of Mohamed's sword( global Jihad)"The “Borat” skit where he sings a Kazakistni folk song about “throwing the jews down the well so my country can bee free” is a satirical take on the backwards anti Zionist culture in the former soviet Balkan states.Can't you just hear the paleo-commies cheering on the similar anti Zionist Islamic dogmatic perversity?...it could have been said in a Moscow rally by Stalinists during the great social purges of the absolutist soviet ascension.Anti zionism/antisemitism and autocratic control over public morality is a tenet of Stalinist communism and Islamic extremism which is a natural ideological fit...we saw it in the Baathists and in the Syrian and Iranian regimes. Anti zionist/antisemetic culture still thrives in
most of the former soviet block….it is a deeply entrenched cultural remnant of radical communist dogmatics.So for me there is no surpise paleo-communists have found common ground with radical Islmists...what does surprise me is the size of this 5th columnist Marxist-Trotskyite-anti-semitic cabal in Canada…truly Orwellian they hide under “peace protester” banners....some one has to keep an eye on them and expose the treasonous alliances they form.Perhaps the next alternative media investigative front is exposing the link between fist nations extremists and the domestic 5th column left -Islamic fanatic bund...we routinely see both international worker's party and Hezbolla flags at native blockades and pro native land claim protest-marches.... strange bed fellows?...things that make you go hmmmm.

Keep up the great work Terry there is a lot of unseemly garbage that lies just beneath the white blanket of snow that is Canada's Christmas card picture image. Exposure is the first step to removing the garbage. It is the job of the alternate media to melt the snow so we see the dog-do on the lawn.

Quite so.
Especially since the whole shooting match is under McChrystal now.

Alison,

Have you ever encountered that W.L. Mckenzie Redux character before?

He's quite a piece of work.

That Glavin's work now attracts the likes of him and Shaidle's husband ought to give him pause.

Apparently he's written good things on the First Nations peoples out on the West Coast. He'd be delighted to discuss FN issues with those two racist clowns I'm sure.

But that's what happens when you lose your senses.

Your link was excellent btw. Yeah, perhaps Jack Bauer, or some other "tough cop who knows you have to break the rules" sodomizing teenage SUSPECTS with broom handles might be too much for some fence-sitters on the subject of torture.

I don't know Glavin. Years ago I used to like his articles at The Tyee, now I don't. However I have FN friends - negotiators with the government - who do know him personally and when as recently as last month I asked wtf is up with Glavin recently, they assured me he is still "one of the good guys" in their books - so make of that what you will.

Don't know of WLMR at all and very seldom read Kate or Cat Fur or Five Feet of Anything. I admire what you and CC, PSA, JJ and Dammit Janet do with calling bs on they ass but it has not been my experience that they learn anything from it and there's little possibility of engaging their less fanatical readers given they delete comments so ...

Wound up at The Torch the other day while looking up abuse of children by Afghan soldiers and interpreters. Abuse a bad thing but apparently not as deserving of censure as Michael Byers for bringing it up because "he is NDP". I have no idea how one responds to something like that.

Alison said...

PS When you drive through the States there are these call-in talk shows where people rave on about communist conspiracies that include FN, feminists, blacks, Chicanos, Islamofascists, big government, abortionists, papists, and Jews. From time to time someone calls in wanting one of the above exonerated from being included on the ususal list. WLMR has apparently chosen the Jews.

thwap said...

Yeah, it's the crazy, hate-filled US talk-radio culture that I'd like to avoid and that Terry has joined, what with all his National Post editorials and the garbage he allows in his comments section.

I'm sure he's still a "good guy" on FN. It's on Afghanistan that his brain frizzled out.

But he'd be disgusted to read what WLMR has said about Ipperwash and Caledonia.
