The furnace of affliction

Ezra Levant updates progress in his legal defense. Donations toward that defense are not only a contribution to Ezra Levant but to the war effort and the principles underpinning Western civilization.

No exaggeration. Please donate what you can.

It's been months since I've given a report about the nuisance SLAPP lawsuits that Canada's illiberal censors have unleashed against me. As longtime readers will know, I was targeted by Canada's Orwellian human rights industry back in 2006 when they falsely prosecuted me for publishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in a magazine, and I dared to fight back instead of go meekly.

Those bullies dropped the cartoon prosecution against me (after 15 government bureaucrats and lawyers dined out on me for 900 days), leaving me with $100,000 in legal bills. (Thank you for helping me pay that bill, dear reader.) But then the most aggressive members of the human rights industry proceeded to punish me by filing over 20 law society complaints and five defamation suits against me, which have been proceeding ever since.

Ezra Levant's The Western Standard was one of only two publications in North America with the stones to publish the Mohammed cartoons, one of the great stories of our age veiled by physical cowardice toward and ideological complicity with the jihadis (good morning, National Post editorial board!).

Think of every take no prisoners "conservative" or "libertarian" media source you frequent, think of every would be Pulitzer winning journalist who grew up with an All the President's Men fixation and think of every broadsheet or broadcast Establishment bastion of the Fifth Estate.

They didn't. Ezra Levant did.

Ezra has said the Mohammed cartoons debacle was a greater defeat for Western civilization than the massacres of 9/11. He is right. He deserves your support.

Much more at Ezra Levant. Background at the National Post.

Directly related: Sarah Silverman on "When not to tell a joke." I have a longer post simmering away along the same lines. For the moment, her hotness.
