In collusion with media organs, several decades of government have been lying to their citizens about world events in general and the Middle East in particular. When the multicultural push began in the early 1970s, its advocates were not overtly belittling towards white Canadians, only groveling before visible minorities, especially those emigrating from third world countries. But gradually the belittling began; then the belittling transformed into bad-mouthing and besmirching; until now, in 2020, anyone who is not in favor of unbridled multiculturalism is accused of racism and xenophobia. No one is guiltier of breaking the ninth commandment than these multiculturalism zealots. They bear false witness with as much regularity and pleasure as a sow wallows in her mire. The reason for their liberal breaking of God’s command is this: Once it became obvious that immigrants could be easily used as stepping stones to political power, no opponent to unassimilated diversity could be allowed to stand in the way. The goal of multiculturalism, which might have been the goal all along, and which goal has now been largely achieved, was to import multitudes of people from third world countries and then to set them up as victims of racism in order to use them as voting blocs to gain and maintain power. This wicked strategy continues, and has been supplemented, now, with illegal immigration and the welcoming of undocumented ‘refugees’; and this, in turn, is the new normal because our dictatorial PM, his mafia-like Liberal ministers, and their mass media enforcers want it that way. This conduct is as dangerous as it is selfish and lawless because illegal migrants and ‘refugees’ from failed states are at high risk of committing heinous crimes. Often they murder their harmless, defenseless benefactors. For example, thirteen year old Marissa Shen was murdered by one of Trudeau’s ‘Syrian refugees’ in 2017. Any apologist for illegal immigration or runaway multiculturalism is an unethical, unpatriotic person; by definition and in practice, such a person hates his country. And he does not love his neighbor any more than he loves his nation. Even after seeing what mass migration has done to Europe, our politicians are so greedy for power that they insist on imitating the course that is ruining civilization abroad, and there is no sign that their imitation will be mitigated. It can be known, now, and with relative ease, what was happening in the Middle East in the 1970s. Just a few words—words that are now familiar to us because of recent events—are sufficient to cover the substance of what went on: Muslim, Imam, jihad, fatwa, Koran, mosque, Muhammad, Ramadan, and Allahu Akbar. Such words are rarely mentioned in newspaper articles about conflicts in the Middle East. I have no doubt that they were rarely mentioned in the articles that Jed Porter read year after year. If such words were mentioned, I doubt that they were framed in such a way that would lead the reader to deduce the truth of the matter. Those old newspaper columns may be destroyed and forgotten; but their writers have made their negative impact. I remember reading some of these columns when I was a boy. Sometimes I read them to my dad in the kitchen beside our pot-bellied stove; but neither one of us were enlightened by them. The same darkness prevailed when we listened to the news that was read on television. The writers of this ‘news’ knew what they were doing; and they were good at it. News writers who write in such a way as to keep the reader or listener coming back to seek the facts that are withheld are guilty of what I choose, with good reason, to call, ‘mass media sorcery.’ Multitudes of communities populated with old-timers like Jed have gone out of the world believing that the men whose words they read and listened to were just as hungry for the truth as their readers and listeners were—that the radio hosts and column writers had no other purpose than to communicate the facts as soon as they could be found and understood. By the mainstream media, you can’t know who burns cars in Paris these days (Muslims) any more than you could know who was to blame for the war in Lebanon (Muslims) in Jed Porter’s day. Men like Jed would never have thought of going to a bookstore, even if they had known where to find one. And even if they had known of a bookstore and had gotten to one, the odds would have been against them chancing upon one of the few honest books hiding amidst the many shelves of treachery.
