Dear Subscribers:
Jean Chretien's cabinet shuffle on Jan. 15, 2002 marks another twist in the d/d saga: Martin Cauchon replaces Anne McLellan as Justice Minister and Attorney General; Denis Coderre replaces Elinor Caplan in citizenship and immigration.
Let us hope that Mr. Cauchon is less morally corrupt than his predecessors, Allan Rock and Anne McLellan.
To place the d/d issue in historical perspective, I am appending my August 1996 letter to the Montreal Gazette (archived as DESCHENE.001 on the Lily website), as well as the July 18, 1996 letter of Kestelman and Friedman to which I refer therein.
This letter illustrates the tremendous pressure that the Holocaust Industry exerted on the judges of the Federal Court. And I have previously demonstrated the close ties between the Supreme Court justices of Canada (Antonio Lamer et al) and Israel (Shamgar and Barak).
Regards

Dear Reader:
Appended below is a Letter to Editor which I attempted to have published in the Montreal Gazette. Unfortunately, even after contacting Jennifer Robinson and faxing the material directly to her, the Gazette appears to be unwilling to do so.
For the past several years, I have repeatedly warned Canadians of the dangers of Allan Rock's initiative with denaturalization and deportation corrupting our system of jurisprudence as has occurred in the United States. Many of my views on the subject have been archived at
http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/pakistan/83/demjanjuk/
under the DESCROCK file names. You are invited to peruse these and make your concerns known to your local newspapers, your members of parliament, the Justice Department, in particular, and the government of Canada.
Those in the Montreal area are encouraged to contact the
Montreal Gazette:
Michael Goldbloom, President and Publisher (514)987-2222
Joan Fraser, Editor in Chief (514)987-2500
Jennifer Robinson, Editorial Page Editor (514)987-2462
Thank you.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Since Emailing and subsequently faxing the appended letter to you for inclusion in your Letters to Editor section on July 24 and August 8, 1996, I have not had an acknowledgement/response from you. Neither (to my knowledge) have you published the letter.
I feel that it is important that the public be informed on all aspects of the war crimes issue and that the hate mongering of Ms. Kestelman and Mr. Friedman not go unchallenged. In my opinion, the Gazette has so far failed to provide fair and balanced information to the public on this issue.
Could you please publish my letter as requested or, if you have no intention of doing so, could you please justify your decision such that I can take further appropriate action.
Respectfully
Will Zuzak; 1996-08-15

Dear Sirs:
In their July 18, 1996 letter to the Montreal Gazette titled "Decision shows it's time for Federal Court to go", Paula Kestelman and Sam Friedman are disingenuous in avoiding the two main issues in the war crimes controversy. The two issues are "denaturalization and deportation" and "subversion of the Canadian system of jurisprudence".
Canada's war crimes legislation stems from the Deschenes Commission debacle of 1985-87 during which thousands of innocent Canadians were defamed and libeled as war criminals. Upon passage of Bill C-71 in August 1987, the federal government stated that it had opted for a "made-in-Canada solution". There would be no "denaturalizations and deportations".
Since then, several cases were tried in Canadian criminal courts using rigorous rules of evidence in front of a jury. All succeeded in demonstrating the innocence of the accused victims. Justice was done and was seen to be done.
Recently, the Justice Department has reneged on its original promise and is now attempting to denaturalize and deport its victims in civil courts of law without a jury and using lax rules of evidence. By no stretch of the imagination can denaturalization and deportation be equated to justice. In fact, it is a blueprint for injustice, as demonstrated by the infamous John Demjanjuk case in the U.S. No criminal acts need be proven; irregularities in immigration procedures are sufficient.
The second, and even more important issue in the long term, is the integrity of the Canadian justice system. An independent judiciary, free from political interference or pressure from lobby groups, is one of the cornerstones of a healthy democracy.
Ms. Kestelman and Mr. Friedman are doing Canadians a grave disservice by condoning and even promoting the subversion of our justice system.
Because of the very serious impropriety on the part of assistant deputy attorney-general, Ted Thompson, his conduct, and that of justices James Jerome and Julius Isaac, is now under judicial review. It is incomprehensible that Justice Minister Allan Rock would compound this judicial interference by appealing the decision of Justice Bud Cullen, and even launching other war crimes cases, while this review is in progress.
To conclude, it is clear from what has transpired that something is seriously wrong in the way the Justice Department is run.
Respectfully submitted

Montreal Gazette | July 18, 1996 | Kestelman and Friedman
Two points must be raised in regard to the July 06, 1996 decision of Federal Court Justice Bud Cullen to drop the action against three suspected Nazi war criminals living in Canada.
First, the delays that were tolerated by the Canadian justice system are absolutely incredulous. Federal Court Justice James Jerome was assigned to the case in January 1995. He appeared to have no interest in hearing the case and so seemed to have been playing for time by delaying procedures in his court.
After 20 months, the case of the three had still not gone to trial. The lawyer for the Canadian government, fed up with this dilly dallying, sought to have this affair heard by another justice. Instead of finally hearing the case, the second justice, Bud Cullen, giving truly vague reasons, ordered all charges against the three men stayed.
Our second point refers to the disdain displayed by the federal justices for victims of war atrocities in the past and in recent years. The judgment has created a situation where war criminals from many countries today may find safe haven in Canada. Word gets around the world quickly.
It is possible that perpetrators of war crimes in the "killing fields" of Cambodia, Haiti, Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia are already living in Canada.
After the July 06, 1996 judgment, they probably would notify their associates back home that in Canada they would be completely safe from any type of retribution or threat of deportation.
Canada could now join the ranks of Paraguay and Argentina, where perpetrators of war atrocities could find refuge. Canada, with its generous social benefits and a lackadaisical judicial system, offers a comfortable refuge indeed for suspected war criminals.
If the appeal of the Federal Court's judgment is rejected, the federal Immigration Ministry will be left virtually unable to deport people suspected of war crimes. Instead, they will be provided with the same social benefits given to other citizens of our country.
What we would suggest to prevent this from ever happening again is to simply dissolve the Federal Court and transfer all its jurisdictions to the provincial courts. Quebec for example, has a truly fine court structure where cases can be brought to trial quickly if any of the lawyers involved are serious about doing so.
It is clear from what has transpired that something is seriously wrong in the way the Federal Court is run.
