Last month the Iranian Embassy pretty well guaranteed a full house for Iranium, a movie exposing Iran’s drive for nuclear weapons. After the embassy protested the presentation in the auditorium of the National Library and Archives in Ottawa, an anonymous threat of violence caused theatre management to cancel the performance.

James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, fumed that “Iran is not going to tell Canada what films can or cannot be shown in Canada!” Feb. 6 a sold-out audience jammed the theatre to see the documentary, which is also sharply critical of brutal oppression of the Iranian people by the ayatollahs.
“Who cares what the Iranians think?” Fred Litwin, founder and president of The Free Thinking Film Society, which organized the screening, told RoadKill Radio. “Canadians need to know that Iran is a brutal regime that funds terrorism all over the world—and they’re trying to get a nuclear weapon.”
Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad has threatened to “obliterate” Israel, but insists his nuclear ambitions are “purely peaceful.”

Although more than 120 media—including Canada’s biggest “news” outlets—were given information about a challenge to the new Canadian Museum of Human Rights in Winnipeg, RoadKill Radio scooped them all on the story.

The Museum’s capital cost is estimated at $311 million and the Operating budget $3.1 million for 2008-2009; $8.6 million for 2009-2010; $15.9 in 2010-2011; and $21.7 million in 2011-2012. That’s over $360 million, and it’s not even open yet; and more that $20 million a year after it opens.

RKR co-host Ron Gray, who was leader of Canada’s fifth-largest national political party for 13 years, has sent a letter to Arni Thorsteinson, chair of the Museum’s Board, and to Hon. James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage to urge that the Museum’s presentation of the story of human rights in Canada should include the stories of many Canadians who have been abused by Canada’s 13 “Human Rights” Commissions and Tribunals.

Ron’s letter listed 28 Canadian individuals and groups, besides himself and his Party, that have suffered abuse in the one-sided process of accusation and judgment that is not governed by the rules of evidence that are required in legitimate courts; and in all cases, the complainant’s costs are completely covered by the taxpayer, but the defendant must pay his or her own costs.

As author and blogger Ezra Levant has written, “The process is the punishment, innocent of guilty.”

To date, no other news medium in Canada has picked up the story; and neither Thorsteinson not Minister Moore, who had the letter a week before it was released to the media, has replied to the letter.
