after the Irving to Shallit letter are not entirely true. The Massachusetts Court refused to interpret the law publicly, although it did privately, and forced both parties..i.e. The Commonwealth and Leuchter into a settlement as a trial would not be beneficial to either. Leuchter entered into an agreement with the Engineering Board to do none of the things that he never did in the first place and not to recant or change anything he ever did or said, in return for the board's dropping of the complaint. Leuchter agreed in a pretrial mutual promise with the Commonwealth that in return for the Commonwealth dropping its illegal prosecution of him he would not break the law by saying things or doing things he had never done or said in the first place. Leuchter never admitted to any wrong doing or ever did any wrong. He simply agreed to be a law abiding citizen (which he had been all his life) for 2 years more. Even after the 2 years he still has not broken the law. Please consider this and restate your description. I am sick of people misunderstanding what took place in Cambridge Court. Fred Leuchter 4/5/99 To The Federal Court of Canada from Galina Buyanovsky. Montreal, March 20, 1997. Galina Buyanovsky 175 Sherbrook St.West, Apt. 98 Montreal, Quebec, CANADA H2X 1X5 FEDERAL COURT Supreme Court Building Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H9 CANADA Tel.(514)843-8458 See the list of the places where the copies of that appeal are submitted below. Dear Sirs! This appeal is formal. It composed not by a lawyer but by the refugee claimants themselves. Despite a temptation to treat it as a non-official letter we want an official response. We claim that a wide-scaled conspiracy against Russian-speaking refugees from Israel exists, and that Canadian Ministry of Immigration is manipulated by a foreign state. This is the main reason why our refugee claim was denied. The chairman of the immigration committee assigned to our case was Mr. Jacques La Salle. He is a permanent director of the Informative Committee Canada-Israel, an organization that may be considered as a shadow structure of Israeli government. Allegations that Mr. Salle systematically treats the Russian-speaking refugees from Israel with partiality were expressed several times. In 1996 Federal Court indirectly recognized that. Despite of that Mrs. Lucienne Robillard - Canadian Minister of Immigration [ look over her anger declaration about the Russian-speaking refugees from Israel: see our BIBLIOGRAPHY in the end, #4, ] - gave Mr. La Salle a new commissioner's mandate (for the next term). 52% of refugee claimants from Israel obtained their refugee status in 1994-95.On hearings with Mr. La Salle it is 0(%). In 1997 Mr. Jacques La Salle was accused in partiality towards refugees from Israel, and his involvement in their cases was terminated* (see comments). However, his mandate wasn't terminated in general. And this person whose partiality towards the Russian-speaking people was already recognized is sent now to hear the cases of Russians who flied from Kazachstan. Russians from Kazachstan are too often told that they are not eligible for the political asylum in Canada - because they could go to Israel, not to Canada. For example, the first hearing of a refugee claimant from Kazachstan was dedicated to his situation in Kazachstan, when the second - to his refusal to go to Israel. How can it happen in a country that is not a province of Israel, but an independent state? Why refugees from Israel who face deportation and express a will to go to Russia are sent to Israel anyway**? Is it true that Mr. La Salle lived in a kibbutz in Israel and holds an Israeli passport? Is that true that Mrs. Lucienne Robillard is his ex-wife and his best friend now? If only one of these questions can be answered positively - the first paragraph of our message is completely correct! And the last question about Mr. La Salle. Since he was accused in partiality - does it means that his decision in our case can still be in force? We came to Canada as refugee claimants, not to Israel, and it's obvious that our right is to be heard by an independent commissioner, not by a person whose whole life and social activity is devoted to Israel. The translator who worked for our lawyer, Mrs. Eleonora Broder, has also devoted herself to Israel, but in a different way. She sabotaged the cases of all her employer's clients, distorting the translation of the most important documents and statements: Always in favor of these forces which wants save Israel's face and to send Russian from Israel back. Being afraid of her angry clients she flied Montreal and disappeared in an unknown direction. Her most favorite sabotage action was to distort the real indication of nationality or another data in her translations of birth certificates, passports, and other documents. This trick she used when she "translated" documents of L.M., K.R., L.G., and other people who turned to our lawyer. Commissioners like Mr. La Salle, Mr. Dorion, and like the immigration officer Mrs. Malka, who have visual partiality to Russian-speaking people, based their rejections of refugees' claims on such "mistakes". She used to change voluntarily also the meaning of refugee claimants' stories and so called pifs' data. She placed a wrong information about our nationalities despite our sincere statements. We came from a country with another mentality and different culture. If a Canadian would probably check the translation using another translator help, we didn't. Then, again, Mrs. Broder did a back translation into Russian for us to show that everything was translated correctly, but that back translation actually is in contradiction with her French version. Another interesting detail is that the most serious mistakes she did in official documents' translations were related to the people whose hearing were attended by Mr. La Salle, Mrs. Judith Malka and - probably - Mr. Dorion. In other words, were attended by people whose relations to Israel or to Jewish roots are easy to detect. If you need more detailed and precise proof of Mrs. Broder's sabotage we can give it to you. Mr. La Salle based his rejection of our claim generally on one thing. He based it not only on Mrs. Broder's sabotage, but on direct lie and distortion of our words, too. So, he interpret our words that we were persecuted by Israelis because they treated us as "Russians" as if we said that in our Teudat Zehuts (internal obligatory passports) we were mentioned as Russians, not Jews***. In reality there were no indication of Teudat Zehuts in our words. It is obvious that the meaning of our words is that Israelis treat fresh Russian-speaking immigrants as strangers, not like real Jews, and this is the main source of our problems in Israel. (Another reason is that my husband is not a Jew). But if even there was no distortion of our words: Does Mr. La Salle was legally and morally correct to base his rejection on "Teudat Zehuts" issue? The indication of nationality in different kinds of ID-s is in deep contradiction with the main moral norms of democracy. No wonder that no democratic state (we don't speak about Israel now) has such indication. That indication of nationality in passports in ex-USSR and in South African Republic was accused by the democratic press and by Human Rights organizations****. Canada has no obligatory indication of nationality in her code. Does it means that Canada doesn't recognizes the obligatory indication of nationality in passports? If so, and also if we are on Canadian soil, then the investigation about the indication of our nationality in our passports is illegal (at least, morally illegal as minimum). As a Canadian commissioner Mr. La Salle couldn't make it a key issue in his rejection of our claim. As an Israeli he couldn't ignore this issue - because in Israeli society it is a key issue! Then, I want to attract your attention by the fact that there is an obligatory indication of country of origin in Israel, not only of nationality. This is the source of conflicts as well. Since the commissioners like Mr. La Salle avoid mentioning it - this is one of the evidences of their partiality. Let me point out that there are almost no paragraphs in our refugee claim declaration where we mention the indication of nationality (Russian) in my husband's passport as the source of our troubles. In the same time we name other reasons like social, ethnic and religious ground for persecutions and discrimination in our life in Israel*****. Why then the "Teudat Zehuts" issue dominates in the Immigration and Refugee Board decision in our claim? Probably, because Mr. La Salle acts in interests of Israel, and Israel wants to justify her obligatory indication of nationality before other countries. Let me point out also that the "Teudat Zehut" is not an ID. It is actually a passport. Because it's function is different from Canada's social number or medical insurance card, or any other ID. Social number in Canada is confidential. Then, another ID can be given to police or to other authorities. In Israel T.Z. is the only ID recognized by the authorities. To present T.Z. just everywhere - from clinic to school, from employment office to hotel - is an obligatory rule. That fact is also ignored by the commissioners. We can analyze Mr. La Salle's declaration paragraph by paragraph, but our main point is that the decision in our case was visually based not on the hearing and not on our refugee declaration, but on the very fact that we came from Israel. We'd only like to give examples of the most ridiculous and tendentious paragraphs of Mr. La Salle's declaration. This declaration, which is politically and emotionally motivated, has nothing what to do with juridical documents. Dear Sirs! You must take into consideration that Mr. La Salle gave identical answers to a number of refugee claimants (to family Z., for example). 4 from 6 main topics in his answers to us and to family Z. are identical. So, he submits a clichÊ to all his victims. He also doesn't care to deny the credibility of the events described in our claim by analyzing them. His attitude can be expressed in 2 sentences: It can not be; because it couldn't happen in Israel (in such a beautiful Middle East country!). That's why he uses such "evidences" of our "insincerity" as "very little inter-community tension had been noted" (p.5 of his response to our claim, p.3 of his response to family Z. claim). If even such "evidences" were truth (we have evidences that even the members of Israeli government claim the opposite******), they are not able to explain or reject each event, each personal case. But it can be clearly explained by Mr. La Salle's motivations. He unconsciously expresses his motivations on p.4 of his decision: "Monsieur Nikitin est de nationalitÊ russe et les deux enfants, comme leur mÊre, sont juifs"(p.4). In other words, he didn't write "were Jewish in Israel", or "were considered as Jewish in Israel", but he wrote "are Jewish"! That means that for h i m they are Jewish. So, under which laws he considered our claim: Under the laws of Canada - or under the laws of Israel!?******* Then, on p.5 he wrote that "Mrs. Buganovky {instead of Buganovsky} was hesitated to answer the questions, she avoided to answer them directly, precisely". We can comment that phrase very "directly and precisely"! This is an old trick used by Mr. La Salle, Mr. Dorion and Mrs. Malka. They compose a question like "are you sure that you did an attempt to lie?" Then they demand to answer "yes" or "no" only. If you answer "yes", that means - you're a liar, if you answer "no", it means - "I am not sure" or "may be". In a real situation there are much more versions of consequences if you answer "yes" or "not" directly. The paragraph #6 on p.5 is absolutely identical to the text of a rejection sent to family Z. This paragraph doubts about what happened to our daughter in kinder-garden and at school because of the claim that there are " no inter-communal tensions in Israel" and because "efforts were made to sensitize school officials to the new reality...(etc)". Mr. La Salle took these "evidences" from s document he mentions as Exhibit A-1. But we'd like to ask Mr. La Salle next questions: 1. How can the same document be used as a contra-argument in the matter of two different girls, who lived in Israel in different cities and in different time? (We mean us and family Z.). 2. How can a document, which must be composed before the events described in our refugee declaration took place, be used as an "evidence"?! Does it have a license for the future? 3. How cans Mr. La Salle to swear that if Israel claims she "made efforts to sensitize school officials" to discrimination or violence, the efforts were really made, or were properly made? Then, if even "efforts" were really made (we can swear, they weren't) it doesn't mean that they met a proper reaction of school officials! My husband and me - we also want to express our deep concern about the credibility of this Exhibit when it speaks about Israel. We know that this document (Exhibit A-1 (5.4) mentions a "Department of Integration", which doesn't exist in Israel. It's clear that the real name of Israeli Ministry of Absorption ("misrad ha-klita in Hebrew) was replaced by non-existing "Ministry of Integration" because it sounds strange for Canadian (or American, European) ears. But the "Ministry of Absorption" is the real name of the organization, which "takes care" of new immigrants. And the Exhibit A-1 changes it to the "Department of Integration"... In reality the Zionist ideology is against integration. Look over Ben-Gurion's, Orlosorov's, Bella Katsnelson's, Golda Meir's works and statements! Then you will be convinced that the name "Ministry of Absorption" expresses their desires completely well. It means that the Exhibit A-1 replaces actually the truth by the lie, not only a real name by a false name. Then - how can such a document be considered as a credible one? We can present another evidence that Exhibit A-1 is highly contradictory and strange in itself. On page 6 (p.3 in a response to family Z. claim) Mr. La Salle writes (quoting Exhibit A-1), that 80% of Israel population is mobilized to welcome new immigrants from the former USSR. It's hard to believe that such a ridiculous sentence can be a part of any juridical document! Let's to abstract from its complete nonsense and suppose it reflects something from Israel's life and reality, and reflects the mentality of Israelis (Mr. La Salle's intention to choose this particular extract, and not another one, reflects his national identity as Israeli). If Israel is a country like other countries, like Canada, so how it comes that "80% of Israeli population" can be "mobilized" to "welcome new immigrants"? How people can be "mobilized" (or, probably, ordered) to "sponsor immigrants" and to help them by "giving money, closes and furniture" (p.3, 5-th line of Mr.La Sall's response to family Z. claim). May be something is wrong in a country where population can be "mobilized"? May be, our troubles have been erupted exactly because people in such a country have to be "mobilized" to welcome new immigrants? And then - how those figures, 80% of Israeli population, can be understood? Were they been called (to a draft board, to Mossad?) to get an order to "welcome new immigrants" - and were counted one by one? And what about the other 20%? We don't know anything about that "mobilization". But we know that the Israeli population (and the Hebrew media employees in particular) was mobilized to abuse, assault, disgrace and to discriminate new immigrants from the former USSR. If the Canadian Ministry of Immigration was not on one side it could employ 2-3 translators and send them in a library to translate Hebrew newspapers for last 6 years. Thousands of racists, xenophobic articles, which encourage aggressive actions against Russian-speaking people and teach to treat them with malicious anger, could be found. That is the real "mobilization". The suggestion that the Histadrut can not deny an appeal for help just because it "open" to people from all ethnic groups, also has no logic in it. Histadrut may be "open" but its functionaries may treat "Russians" not like they treat Israelis. We also express our deep concern of utilization of Mr. Natan Sharansky's affidavit. As far as we know this affidavit was given through a telephone interview what is juridical unacceptable. Especially when the commissioners don't accept copies of articles (even from the most famous newspapers), which refugee claimants present, they demand originals! Then - it was well known before Mr. Sharansky became a Minister in Israeli government that his "Zionist Forum" is not an independent organization (as well as its chairmen) but an organization infiltrated by the government. By the time of our hearing Mr. Sharansky has already became a minister. And Mr. La Salle knew it. So he presented the view of Israeli government as an "independent" view that time: as in all other occasions. He clearly exposes the source of all the manipulations with the refugees from Israel in Canada: Israeli government!

"EXCITE TALKS" (INTERNET) TO OTHER PLACES AND ORGANIZATIONS FROM FAMILY METELNITSKY. MONTREAL, Desember, 1996. To Amnesty International's London Office Why WeTurn To Amnesty International? 1) Because our complains to Amnesty International from Israel played if not the main,a very important role during all the 2 immigration hearings in our case. 2) Because indirectly or even directly (from a particular point of view) they insinuated that we must be punished for our contacts with Amnesty International. 3) Because what happened during our immigration hearing here in Montreal (Quebec, Canada) is so incredible and horrible that will encourage human right violations everywhere on a wider scale. 4) Because during the hearing the immigration officer falsificated Amnesty International's (and other human rights organizations') documents and lied about them. 6) Because if a family comes to a country (which accepts refugees under the Geneva Convention act) but faces abuses, ungrounded accusations, threats, hatred and injustice within an immigration court room - that means a mayhem for the human rights, placing the very basis of human rights in jeopardy. 7) Because we are absolutely certain (and we have presented undenieble evidences to the immigration bord) that we are going to be beatten, abused or even killed if we will be turned back to Israel. We came to Israel in 1990 ; as many other people we had a hope for a better life. As the most of Russian-speaking people we were "welcomed" by a malicious anger, the state unti-Russian propaganda and the most severe discrimination. Our son was 15 when we came to Israel. Each of us (including our son) was assaulted, abused, beaten, discriminated against.The ignorance of what is going on in Israel with the Russian-speaking people can not make what we and our friends suffered from in Israel unreal. Batteries, assaults, abuses were real and happened to us in real life. If my son could come to school and could hear a discussion about the last article in a Hebrew newspaper, in which "Russians" were called sons of a bitch, prostitutes, fools and thieves: was it "unreal"? And the computer games in Hebrew accompanied by songs with words like "Russians, go home":They were as real as the real life. And the social climate in Israel is so horrible that if a child is beaten at school "because he's Russian" - he is forced to feel guilty himself as if he's guilty in not being an Israeli but being a Russian. Any person with conciseness (a journalist, an immigration official, a human right organization official) could take a translator from Hebrew, go to a library or to an archive and find articles in Hebrew newspapers which have highly aggressive untie-Russian contest. And what about thousands of articles in Russian newspapers published in Israel about what can be called almost a genocide against "Russians"? When they began to call my son to a draft board (because Israel has a compulsory military service) he asked an alternative military service each time they called him: because he was afraid of hostility towards "Russians" within the Israeli army and also because of the rule that a single son can not be taken into the front-line units against his will. They gave him no decision, but kept ordering him to came to the draft point again and again. One day a new routine order to come to the draft point arrived. My son was ordered to come one day - but the order have been sent one day later then the date of his appearance. A couple of other days past before he got the order. But as soon as he got it he immediately went to the draft board. When he came they have arrested him incriminating him a disobedience to the order to come. No excuse, no explanation were admitted. Everything happened so fast that there is no doubt: they were prepared. So, they have submitted this order for him later then the date he was called to intentionally. He was accused in a refusal to come to the draft board (the ignored his voluntarial arrival) and in avoiding the military service. They have treated him like if he already was a soldier and flied from a military unit. He was also given a soldier's number as if he was a soldier when in reality he never entered the army and never wearied a military uniform. When he admitted that he's going to become mentally ill because of the military prison they refused to give him a Russian-speaking psychologist, and the Hebrew- speaking psychologist couldn't speak with our son, but wrote a report based on ungrounded insinuations. When later a Russian-speaking psychologist appeared he translated him that report but told that it is impossible now to dispute what the Israeli wrote. When our son was in the military prison severe humiliations were committed over him. All the violations of the rules and of the moral norms in his case were too innumerable to mention them. During his imprisonment our son was transformed from a healthy person to a mentally ill boy. When he was released from the military prison (he was in the prison more then 3 months; no charges were posed against him, no court took place) the military medical committee recognized him as a mentally ill person. When he was just imprisoned he was recognized as a fully healthy person suitable to the military service.He received some treatment here, in Canada, and the immigration board know it. We did everything we could to release our son from the military prison. But the civil lawyers refused to take his case as soon as they heard about the conflict with the army. Some of them assaulted us refusing to take the case.We demanded a military lawyer but the military commandature in Jaffo denied us a military lawyer. We turned to all the possible places like Israel Bar Association, human rights organizations, Sharansky's Zionist Forum, Israel and foreign media, state officials: nobody couldn't or didn't want to help us. Then we decided to send a letter to Amnesty International. A friend of us - a dissident and a journalist Lev G. - has contacted Amnesty International and later submitted several faxes to them. When the authorities realized that we complained to Amnesty International they released our son from the military prison. We couldn't live in Israel any more after what happened to us and to our son there, and also because we were afraid that our son can be arrested again if we will stay in Israel. The only reasonable solution for us was to escape. And the only way to do it was to become refugee claimants. We flied to Montreal in November, 1994. We have submitted all the documentary proof we had to support our claim to the immigration board (committee). We also sincerely described what happened to us in our claim's atory without any distortion or exaggeration. But what happened to us in the immigration courtroom and between and after our 2 hearings is just incredible... Why We Think Our Human Rights Were Violated By the Court? Inside The Courtroom: 1)Some of the main documentary proofs (statements, affidavits, letters, receipts, articles, ect.) were ignored as if they never existed. 2)Other extremely important documents were mentioned but were ignored (if not - they might be an obstacle to what the judges incriminated us). 3) Other documents (including Amnesty International's confirmation of our complain) were mentioned as incomplete proof of particular events, when in reality they were given to support other events. In the same time documents which relate to these events were ignored. 4) The same way our words were ignored, too. For example, I was asked an insinuating question. My answer closed that question by a clear and unbeatable conterargument. So, what then? Then the same insinuation was repeated - but this time in an affirmative form: As if I said nothing. The same question could be given 2, 3, 5 times non-stop. If I gave the same answer again and again they shouted on me, used threats, aggression, incredible accusations to force me to change my answer. It's clear that such a method violates moral and legal norms - and any hesitation by a refugee claimant under such an illegal psychological pressure can not be taken into consideration. 5) Too often they questioned us giving us no rights to response. They shuted us down replacing our eventual answer by their own - and later based their conclusions not on our answers but on their own statement posing it as our - not their - words. 6) It was repeated again and again that they doubt about our rights to appeal (for a refugee status) because our actions (when we were in Israel) weren't a good solution. As examples of "good solutions" were mentioned: A demolition of our family, a criminal offense - and so on! 7) Several times the bord members expressed their dissaproval by the norms of democracy or by my aproval of the democracy laws. It is absolutely clear that our case was treated not according to Canadians laws but according to the rules and norms of Israel since - in the judges' eyes - we belong not to Canadien but to Israeli jurisdiction. This position - neither being ordered to the bord or being the product of the board itself - made the courtroom a part of Israel's territory. 8)The procedure of our immigration hearing wasn't an investigation in our case but a pure pro-Israel's propaganda. It's goal wasn't to detect whether or not our claim for refugee status is justified but to defend the image of Israel as a "good" country in an imprudent and abusing form. The depersonalization of our claim was done in an extreme form ignoring our personal history. So the only criteria chosen to support the bord's point of view was the very fact that we came from Israel. But the only admissible attitude to refugees is to base the decision on what happened to them personally, not on which country they flied. 9)The members of the board expressed their detestation of the human rights defense and verbally denied (directly or indirectly) a number of recognized human rights. 10)Sending requests to Israeli embassy and demanding some definite information about us, the immigration officer violated another moral and judicial principle: Not to announce his claim to the government of a country a refugee claimant escaped from. 11)Reading Amnesty International's and other reports the immigration officer distorted and sometimes falsified the documents. 12) Documents submitted by the Israeli government, by it's dependents or by it's embassy were considered as absolutely reliable and were voluntarily represented by the tribunal as non-debatable. In the same time documents that were represented by our lawyer (or our documents) - newspapers, statements, declarations, and so on - weren't treated as equal to Israeli propaganda papers. More then that: At least our documents were completely ignored: As if they never existed. In the same time the documentation presented by Israeli government can't be treated as an arbitrary source: Because Israel is involved. Meanwhile a number of our documents may be considered as more objective and independent. 13) The immigration officer used 1) an open lie 2) threats 3) desinformation; 4) expressed an unexplained malicious anger towards us; 5) claimed one thing to defend her position during our hearing and claimed the contrary during the hearing in G. family case (our cases are related, and G. was called as a witness to our second hearing); 6) she lied about what I said, about what she previously said , about what was said about the situation in Israel and so on; 7) her behavier towards us and G. family was so incredibly agressive as if she had a personal reason to punish us, or to exterminate us. 14) A 'yes" or "no" answer was demanded in situations when it was clear that such an answer is absolutely impossible. Demanding "yes" or "no" answer only they justified their decision not let us speak. 15) Despite our son's mental illness and the evidence that he can not be asked the immigration officer asked him various questions in an aggressive manner. We understood that questions which she asked him were nothing more then a pure humiliation. 16) Requests which the immigration officer has submitted to Israel weren't justified or necessary. Outside The Courtroom: 1) Our lawyer's translator did our story translation in an provocative and humiliated manner. She has chosen the declarative style instead of a description intentionally: to make our story sound ridiculous. She also sabotaged G.'s family story. When they came to Montreal G. put everything that happened to his family in Israel in writing and gave that piece of paper to the translator. She sabotaged the translation distorting the sense of his story, inserting her own inventions and sentences which sounded like provocations. He demanded a translation back to Russian from her French version , and she did it. She wrote it by her own hand. That manuscript is quite different from her French version. So, she did it to smoothen the distortions and to prevent G. from complaining. We have also other proofs of her sabotage. 2) She sabotaged the translations of newspaper's articles as well. From one hand she exaggerated a number of descriptions of persecutions against Russian-speaking people "to do us a favor" (We think her goal was to discredit these articles). But on the other hand she excluded the most important paragraphs in her translation and gave the opposite meaning to the most important facts and conclusions. 3) The translator also sabotaged the translation of some official papers and other documents which we and G. prepared to support our claims. She told us that she has translated some of them and that she would find a translator from Hebrew -but it was a lie. If not our complains to the lawyer and an alert note we gave to him: No documents were translated. 4)We believe that a conspiracy between the immigration board and the translator took place. She was given an order to insert some particular phrases in G. story which he didn't want to see there. Later, in the courtroom, these phrases were used against him. These phrases were taken from articles he wrote before we escaped from Israel. Among them were the articles which G. hasn't presented to her or to our lawyer when she was doing the translation of his story. The members of the immigration board have exploited these phrases again and again: What leads to a suggestion that it wasn't occasionally.
6) There is a visible connection between the immigration officer - and Mr.Mark Kotlarsky, who lives in Israel. This gentlemen is an informer and a provocateur for Israeli authorities. He wrote an article about G. in 1994, in Israel. This article was written in a humiliated and sarcastic manner. Mr.Kotlarsky used the information which G. shared with him (as with his close friend ) against him. This article is outright slander, mystification, false insinuations and lie.. Before G. discovered that Mark Kotlarsky is the government agent he told him some things which G. never told to any other person. But during our immigration hearing and during the hearing of family G. these things were used by the immigration officer against us. We have no other explanation but that she's in a contact with Mr.Kotlarsky.
7) Then, we have a reliable source of information which says that the immigration officer, the member of the immigration board in our cases, is an Israeli. Because of some reasons we'd like not to present the evidences for that. But this paragraph can play an informative role only. We have no pretensions to demand you to believe in that. From the other hand if the immigration officer is an Israeli (it can be confirmed, if somebody wants to find out) and the patriot of Israel (the last is too clear), she has no moral and - may be - legal rights to judge in refugees' from Israel cases.8)When G.'s came to Montreal they gave G.'s wife's birth certificate and it's legal translation to our lawyer. Dispute the submission of that legal translation the lawyer's translator did her own translation. Now we discovered that she sabotaged ("refused") to translate his wife's parents' nationality. There is a clear connection between that sabotage and the immigration officer's tactics in that issue. The immigration court decision came to us at the 14 of December, 1996. The denial of our claim for a refugee status doesn't reflects what really happened during our immigration hearings and has almost no connection with our claim. It is a masterpiece of rhetoric and profanation. This document is a next proof that an only decisive voice in our case was the voice of the immigration officer. She was a real judge - and the official judges were just mutes. The text of "their" negative decision reflects her style and based on her words exclusively: Her declarations she made during our hearings are reflected in this document pretty good. But this document ignore our answers completely: As if we kept silence all the time. When in reality some of our counterarguments completely discredited her insinuations. Nothing what the judges said during our immigration hearing is reflected in the immigration board decision, what means that the decision to deny our claim was made by the immigration officer only (without the judges) when according to the rules she has no decisive voice but only a consultative voice. The denial's text is much the declaration about Israel then a statement of an immigration committee. It based on an acsioma that Israel is a democratic state (society). Such a declaration lays beyond the juridical matter: Because there is not in jurisdiction of an immigration board to decide which state is a democracy and which is not. This is a privilege of an academic institution but not of an executive board. Then it is an act of injustice to declare that Israel is a democracy in an imperative manner giving the refugee claimants no possibility to present their view and their counterarguments. It is clear from what was discussed during our immigration hearings that Israel has almost nothing in common with democracy. A permission to leave the country, an indication of nationality and the country of origin in special enternal passports, a supremacy of the religious laws over the civil code, a right for a military committee to decide who is a single son - and who's not, an imprisonment for months without an official accusation: All these and hundreds of other Israeli laws are suitable may be for a mental hospital - but not for a "democratic society". An opinion expressed by the document that we should not escape to Canada but should seek a help in Israel also has nothing what to do with the reality. We did everything to defend ourselves in Israel, and G. as a journalist and the human righta activist did everything that was possible to help us.He presented tenth of receipts of his complains to various ministries and organizations including the Ministry of Police, the Ministry of internal affairs and police, which were unanswered, to the immigration committee. The sad truth is that the committee just ignores everything. And recognize only the ungrounded Israel's declarations. And the immigration officer - a person who sends faxes to Israeli embassy, obtains documents there;in other words who's in tight connection with Israelis - is the only person who has a decidable voice in the refugees from Israel cases... Isn't that sad?! We can not go back to Israel under no condition, because 1) my husband and my son may be arrested by the militaries and imprisoned. I expressed my grounded fears about that during the hearings - and I can widen them now. 2) How can we go back to Israel if the immigration officer informed the Israelis about our refugee claim? In Israel where the ideology and the patriotic education play a very important role we will be considered as "traitors" and will be persecuted for that, too. 3) Persecutions against us in Israel were so strong that if we would be send back to Israel we will die. 4) After receiving so called "21-st military profile" my son has no future in Israel: Because in Israel people who are given that "profile" can not study, and nobody will employ my son with such a "profile". 5) After all the persecutions we faced in Israel we feel fear - and we are afraid to go back; our fear, our psychological tremor towards Israel are so strong that there is impossible for us to live in Israel any more. In the name of God, in the name of Justice - HELP US!!! CONCLUSIONS: our 2 immigration hearings (as well as hearings in G. case) have nothing in common with any legal procedure. They rather remine of an incuisition court or a secret political tribunal. This tribunal was arranged to punish us for flieding Israel and G. - for his ideological views - not to decide whether or not our (ours and G. family's) claim for a refugee status is justified. It was used for the political purposes: To "show" how just any information about human rights violations in Israel which not concerns Arabs can be calmed down - and to express a huge pro-Israel propaganda. They made clear that they treat our escape from Israel as a mutiny and will never admit the very fact that we are in Canada, in Quebec, not in Israel. Their words, their behavior - everything - was meant to show us that we could only deserve to be treated according to the Canadian rules after getting a refugee status. Before that we don't deserve to be treated by Canadian rules. That's why we were treated according to the rules and norms of Israel!!! It hard to find a more violative ritual of humiliations over the juridical norms then that... It is absolutely clear for the judges - as well as for ourselves - that we were severely persecuted in Israel, that all members of our family were severely abused and that the definite casualties were inflicted to our health, including our son. It is also absolutely clear to the judges that the deportation back to Israel is a death penalty for all members of our family. The tricky thing is that the immigration board expressed almost no doubt about persecutions we survived in Israel or even recognized the harshness of these persecutions. But the point is that they claim ... we are guilty in the persecutions ourselves - and therefore they don't worry about our souls and our lives... So, this is not even a tribunal, but a brutal act of a vengeance. sp; *
The court's negative decision (resume) was made and expressed in an inappropriate manner without any clear connection to our real case. The decision was clearly made by the immigration officer, not by the judges. She is an Israeli patriot and she hates the Russian-speaking people. Everything what is expressed in the decision document is basicly a lie. The text of that document is politically motivated and juridically illegal. This is just the next stage of injustice.

SINSERELY YOURS, LUDMILA METELNITSKY telephone number: (514) 845-8216 address: Ludmila Metelnitsky, 3440 Durocher Str., Apt.1602, Montreal, Quebec, H2X 2E2, CANADA AN ADJUSTMENT We came to Israel in 1990; as many other people we had a hope for a better life. As the most of Russian-speaking people we were "welcomed" by a malicious anger, the state unti-Russian propaganda and the most severe discrimination. Our son was 15 when we came to Israel. Each of us (including our son) was assaulted, abused, beaten, discriminated against. The ignorance of what is going on in Israel with the Russian-speaking people can not make what our friends and we suffered from in Israel unreal. Batteries, assaults, abuses were real and happened to us in real life. If my son could come to school and could hear a discussion about the last article in a Hebrew newspaper, in which "Russians" were called sons of a bitch, prostitutes, fools and thieves: was it "unreal"? And the computer games in Hebrew accompanied by songs with words like "Russians, go home": They were as real as the real life. And the social climate in Israel is so horrible that if a child is beaten at school "because he's Russian" - he is forced to feel guilty himself as if he's guilty in not being an Israeli but being a Russian. Any person with conciseness (a journalist, immigration official, a human right organization official) could take a translator from Hebrew, go to a library or to an archive and find articles in Hebrew newspapers which have highly aggressive untie-Russian contest. And what about thousands of articles in Russian newspapers published in Israel about what can be called almost genocide against "Russians"? When they began to call my son to a draft board (because Israel has a compulsory military service) he asked an alternative military service each time they called him: because he was afraid of hostility towards "Russians" within the Israeli army and also because of the rule that a single son can not be taken into the front-line units against his will. They gave him no decision, but kept ordering him to come to the draft point again and again. One day a new routine order to come to the draft point arrived. My son was ordered to come one day - but the order has been sent one day later then the date of his appearance. A couple of other days past before he got the order. But as soon as he got it he immediately went to the draft board. When he came they have arrested him incriminating him a disobedience to the order to come. No excuse, no explanation was admitted. Everything happened so fast that there is no doubt: they were prepared. So, they have submitted this order for him later then the date he was called to intentionally. He was accused in a refusal to come to the draft board (they ignored that he arrived voluntarily) and in avoiding the military service. They have treated him like if he already was a soldier and flied from a military unit. He was also given a soldier's number as if he was a soldier when in reality he never entered the army and never wearied a military uniform. When he admitted that he's going to become mentally ill because of the military prison they refused to give him a Russian-speaking psychologist, and the Hebrew- speaking psychologist couldn't speak with our son, but wrote a report based on ungrounded insinuations. When later a Russian-speaking psychologist appeared he translated him that report but told that it is impossible now to dispute what the Israeli wrote. When our son was in the military prison severe humiliations were committed over him. All the violations of the rules and of the moral norms in his case were too innumerable to mention them. During his imprisonment our son was transformed from a healthy person to a mentally ill boy. When he was released from the military prison (he was in the prison more then 3 months; no charges were posed against him, no court took place) the military medical committee recognized him as a mentally ill person. When he was just imprisoned he was recognized as a fully healthy person suitable to the military service. He received some treatment here, in Canada, and the immigration board knows it. We did everything we could to release our son from the military prison. But the civil lawyers refused to take his case as soon as they heard about the conflict with the army. Some of them assaulted us refusing to take the case. We demanded a military lawyer but the military commandature in Jaffo denied us a military lawyer. We turned to all the possible places like Israel Bar Association,human rights organizations, Sharansky's Zionist Forum, Israel and foreign media, state officials: nobody couldn't or didn't want to help us. Then we decided to send a letter to Amnesty International. A friend of us - a dissident and a journalist Lev G. - has contacted Amnesty International and later submitted several faxes to them. When the authorities realized that we complained to Amnesty International they released our son from the military prison. We couldn't live in Israel any more after what happened to us and to our son there, and also because we were afraid that our son can be arrested again if we will stay in Israel. The only reasonable solution for us was to escape. And the only way to do it was to become refugee claimants. We flied to Montreal in November 1994. I don't want describe the whole farce of so called "immigration hearings". There were 2 of them. Any positive decision couldn't be taken in our case since the immigration officer assigned to our case is a Jew, probably, an Israeli, and she hates the Russian-speaking people. We prove in our later appeal that it was her who took the decision in our case. Several months ago when our son was on a party, one gay called him out and took him to a car. That gay was drunk. When driving the car he damaged several parked vehicles. Later we discovered that he took another person's car. Despite the clear evidences that not my son drove the car police accused him. We also have an audiotape where that other boy recognizes that he (not our son) was guilty. There is a recorded telephone conversation on this tape. Just everything was ignored during the first criminal hearing in that case. Of cause it looks as if my son accompanied that gay - it's enough to accuse him. But you must take into consideration that he is psychologically, mentally ill after Israeli military prison. A healthy person could refuse to hear what that gay told him but my son is a sick person! I believe that this was MOSSAD's provocation, and I believe that the politicians are still behind everything what is going on around us. If somebody can do something to help us to avoid deportation to Israel, HELP US!!! DO SOMETHING!!! Sincerely yours, Ludmila Metelnitsky Please, call us to (514)-845-8216. Montreal. Ludmila Metelnitsky December 1996 - March 1997 Montreal STATEMENT BY ALEXANDER ORLOVSKI REFUGEE CLAIMANT FROM Israel ALEXANDER ORLOVSKY 95 EDINBOROUGH CR. TORONTO, ONTARIO M6N 2E9 October 1, 1997 To Mr. Preston Manning , Leader of Opposition, Head of the Reform Party HOUSE OF COMMONS CENTRAL BLOCK, ROOM 409-S OTTAWA, ONTARIO K1A 0A6 Copy: "OFFICE OF THE LEADER OF OPPOSITION" Assistabt to the Leader Mr.. Salpie Stepanian RESEACH AND COMMUNICATIONS ROOM 145, WELLINGTON BUILDING OTTAWA, ONTARIO K1A 0A6 FROM: Alexander Orlovsky PH.D. in computer science, system analyst. Winner of a gold medal for computer system "BRIG" in CAD-CAM spheres at the National Exibition of the USSR in Moscow in 1988. Human rights activist with huge influence in 1991-1992 in Israel. Author of the "Program of Development of Israel", which had received high rate from the group of prominent economists in Israel (with the leadership of professor Reihman - University of Tel-Aviv,- the author of the project of the Constitution of Israel). Subject: Violation of the United Nation Refugee Convention signed by Canada towards refugee claimants from Israel: As a refugee claimant from Israel who lived in Canada five years, I posess much information and numerous proofs that IRB-s in Toronto and Montreal use a hidden discriminatory policy toward ex-Soviet Jews and their families who have arrived in Canada via Israel. We would also like to draw your attention to permanent discrimination of these people, which takes place in Israel. That discrimination forced masses of them - talented, highly educated and highly skilled, who could not get rooted in Israel - to seek a refuge in Canada, the country, which guarantees human rights and had signed the International Human Rights Convention and UN Refugee Convention. During the last few years, these people have constantly encountered an unexplainable bias and prejudism not only in the Immigration and Refugee Boards (IRBs), but at every level of the Ministry of Immigration. I consider that it is my duty to draw your attention to the fact that the minister of Immigration Mrs. Lucienne Robillard, who has been elected at West Mount district in Montreal (Grand Montreal area), openly carries out a lobbying policy under the influence of the Canadian Jewish Congress fulfilling their wishes: the ex-Soviet Jews from Israel are "PERSONA NON GRATA"s in Canada. Mrs. Lucienn Robillard is a convert to Judaism; she had repeatedly visited Israel during six years to work in the Israeli Kibbutz. She has demonstrated her sincere love to the state of Israel and to Zionism. How could occur that it was not clear that as the Minister of Immigration such a person could not be impartial in her policy, which influencing the fate of thousands of refugees from Israel? The IRBs and her Ministry are totally, and systematically ignoring the following facts: 1. Tortures and abuse of power by police in Israel. (Appendix # 1) 2. Brutal persecution of the dissidents, even members of knesset and government. (Appendix # 2) 3. Brutal persecutions of people whose religions is not Judaism, and ethnic minorities. (Appendix # 3) 4. Persecution of missionary activists. (Appendix # 4) 5. Severe abuse of children and women, especially non-Jews. (Appendix # 5) 6. Extreme political power of the ultra orthodox Jews and the tyrrany of the religious courts in Israel. (Appendix # 6) 7. Lack of the Constitution. (Appendix # 7) 8. Lack of parliamentary elections and accountability of the MPs like in the western countries. (Appendix # 8) 9. Lack of an independent judicial system and powerless of the human rights group etc. (Appendix # 9) I would like to draw your attention also to the fact that the ex-husband of Mrs. Robillard, (Head of the Israeli-Canadian organization) was removed from Israeli refugee cases as a judge in Montreal because of his passionate partiality and violations of the rules. I hope, that you will not consider this letter as an attempt to put pressure on the government. Our goal is to draw your attention to that problem. Actions of the Ministry of Immigration and Refugee Board put under a doubt the Justice of Canada's immigration policy as whole, and make a bad image in the world. I am sure that You, the Parliament and the whole society would not be indifferent towards such an unbearable situation. Therefore, I am asking you and the members of your opposition cabinet, which controls the immigration policy of Canada, to investigate the influence of the pro-Israeli lobby on Canadian immigration policy. I am asking you to investigate the real situation of the ex-soviet Jews and non-Jews in Israel as independent and objective politician. I am certain that the enclosed materials will allow your analysts to make conclusions and to apply to the Canadian Minister of Immigration with the request to explain why Canada has shut the door before the ex-soviet Jews who have applied for a refugee status in Canada. The official statistics hides this fact by showing numbers of Palestinians as refugee claiments from Israel. We enclose the statistics for 1993-1994, which shows the policy differs in Ontario and Quebec and changes according to the influence of the pro-Israeli lobby. Now I do not know any former Soviet-Israeli claiments who had received a refugee status anywhere in Canada. Moreover, I know about cases when refugee claimants had been turned back to Israel straight from the airport without a chance to prove their claim. The famous Jewish writer, a Canadian, member of Russian and Canadian Writers Assiciation Grigori Svirski had written the next in his affidavit and in his open letter to Mr. Chretien: " Mr. Prime-Minister, have you ever seen these refugees from Israel - Jews, Russions, half-Jews, who are appealing to the Canadian justice and who now - after the so widely publicized ruling of the Federal Court - have been practically deprived of last hope? When these people, who are being slowly murdered by the state, come together , it seems that they are all receiving radioactive or chemical treatment for cancer. Grey exhausted faces with dull eyes. They know very well everything about Israeli "freedom" to go where you are being led ("Traitors!" - shouted Shamir to those passing Israel by) as well as about Israeli "democracy" (to elect only those who have been selected by the party elite)... For these people, almost finished off by PAKIDstan ("pakid" is a Hebrew word for bureaucrats) and now also by Canadian bureaucracy as well, our Orwellian judge now publicly announces with a profound feeling of self-respect: "One does not flee from freedom and democracy!" What wilfuness! What cynicism! Mr. Prime-Minister, my dream is that these exhausted battered people should not be returned to where they in desperation fled from. ..... ...cheating and brutal violation of the rights of the newcomers, more and more of whom are being escorted "only to Israel", have come deeply rooted every day practice, while the free countries, advocating "human rights", are accepting this as something normal. .... I am really worried by all this. As well as by something else. Will our Canada stay free and democratic after such outraged violation of the rights and human dignity of Russian Jewry, who were unfortunate enough to get entrapped?" As an example to support our statements let's consider my immigration case: Accoding to the section 2(1) of the Immigration Act ( as enacted by R.S.C. 1985 (4th Supp.), c.28, s.1): "Convention refugee" means any person who (a) By reason of a well - founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion, (i) is outside the country of the person's nationality and is unable or, by reason of the fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country... - Although the panel had not find any lies or contradictions in the testimonies of the three of us; - Although I had been persecuted and threatened for my political opinion; - Although our statements had been supported by much material from Israeli Press; - Although few eyewitnesses had testified on my behalf before the panel; - Although we have physical evidences of attacks on my son and me; - Although there had been a sexual assault of my wife; - Although the police had never protected us (me and my son) and my spouse from physical attacks and sexual assault, but opposite, the police had beaten me several times; - Although my son became an invalid (uncontrolable urine flow at night time) after he has been physical assaulted by his peers because he is not a Jew and obviously not circumcised; - Although we did our best to get rooted in Israel for two years, we had to leave this country after the final threat to pay with my wife's and son's lives if I don't stop my intentions to defend human and civil rights of the new repatriants, the panel had determind us not to be convention refugees! If we are not suitable to this status, so who are? My case is not an exception between the decisions of the Refugee Boards. The refusal to make positive decisions in definition of the status for refugees from Israel became a rule in Toronto even when a person is found credible and persecuted (case of Mrs. Tamara Minakina I.D. No. 2316-6978, T94-07405). Our refugee process had been extremely long and stressful. The hearing had continued over two years ( five full days), then we had to wait for the decision for 19 months ( total almost four years), and for an another year I had waited for the Judicial Review. As a result, we must leave Canada, although we, especially my teenage son, have become much more Canadian then even Russian or Israeli. During these years the situation in Israel had worsened for people like us: hardliners and the ultraorthodox had come to power and had passed laws against christians. They constantly declare that Israel is a state created by Jews for Jews only. Many prominent politicians and human rights activists like me (parliament and government members Shulamit Alony, Yosi Sarid and others) have received death threats. Certainly my family and me would face a great risk to our lives there. We are ready to present numerous documents that prove that our situation in Israel was unbearable and that we indeed qualify to receive refugee status according to the Refugee Convention. Such an attitude towards our cases by Toronto's IRB leads us to a conclusion that there is a bias in this office against any refugee claimant from Israel and that their decisions are not objective. We are ready to discuss this issue at any level in front of any auditorium in order to prove that IRB of Toronto has violated the promises, which Canada gave to the United Nations (to give refuge to the persecuted or discriminated people). I am writing about the case of my family, but there are others who have also encountered the same unjust inhumane and unreasonable threatment from the IRB. I know that Canada has high humanitarian values. I'm attaching some documents I hope you will be interested to read ( letter from Mrs. Sarmite D. Bulte, Member of Parliament and letters from my lawyer Mr. Gerald W. Postelnik) Sincerely, Alexander Orlovsky & family Alexander Orlovsky - 41 I.D.

He will speak on "the Rockefeller medical monopoly." The Canadian Jewish Congress says Mullins is a high-profile racist who has written anti-Semitic and anti-black tracts. Conference organizer Libby Gardon says if the CJC can prove its allegation they'll reconsider their invitation to Mullins. "Of course they have to have proof. What right do they have to smear somebody without proof?" Gardon says she's known Mullins for years and she's never heard him utter an anti-Semitic word. She calls him a gentle soul. Bernie Farber, of the CJC, says he's sent the proof. A 100-page package of information on Mullins, including excerpts from his writings. Farber says if the conference doesn't cancel Mullins, he'll ask the immigration department to keep the man out of Canada. The Total Health conference is dedicate to showcasing alternative and natural health products and services. 4.

Naked Empress or The Great Medical Fraud by Hans Ruesch Following up his sensational SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT, this new exposÊ of Hans Ruesch shows how with the help of press agentry and the venality of most of the mass media the public has been brainwashed into equating MEDICAL CARE with HEALTH, whereas in fact exactly the opposite applies: modern medicine has become the principal cause of disease today. So in one year 1.5 million Americans had to be hospitalised as a consequence of the intake of drugs that were supposed to "cure" them of one thing or other. Another case in point is cancer. The ably exploited fear of this dread disease, caused for the most part by products issuing from chemical, industrial and pharmaceutical laboratories, has become a solid gold source for researchers, drug manufacturers and doctors, who keep foisting their deleterious cut-burn-poison therapies on the frightened patients, most of whom die from the treatment before the cancer can kill them. Since the cause of most cancers is well-known, they could be avoided through prevention, which early education should provide. And yet, practically no public funds go into prevention because there is no money to be gained with it - only health. The big money is all in the pseudo "Research," done on millions of animals, which can only give fallacious answers, and in the treatment of the patients with violent, destructive, but immensely lucrative therapies imposed by official medicine. Certified reports of cancers completely cured by "soft", drugless treatments, usually based on natural diets, mostly various raw foods, have been piling up both in Europe and the USA. But all the competent and honest doctors who threaten the profits of the lucrative medical trade with inexpensive therapies are being viciously attacked, vilified as "quacks and charlatans," sometimes even barred from the profession, by the quacks and charlatans who make up the profit-oriented Medical Power. Animal experimentation, inevitably misleading, is of course the alibi that has been devised by this organisation for extorting huge grants for a phoney Research, and to safeguard the drug manufacturers from criminal prosecution whenever the deleterious effects of one more of their noxious products can no longer be concealed. Then they can always say "all the prescribed tests" (on animals) had been conscientiously undertaken. But not saying that they themselves, in collusion with the Health agencies and corrupt or misled politicos, have imposed those tests. Not more chemicals, but fewer chemicals, not an increase of drugs, but a drastic reduction of drugs, and not a multiplication of animal experiments, but a total abolition of all such "alibi" experiments, are the inescapable premise for a betterment of living conditions and an improvement of public health. The present book brings ample proof of this, besides unearthing some information that many powerful individuals in America and abroad would prefer to keep buried forever. The above reprinted from NAKED EMPRESS. World Without Cancer and The Politics of Cancer Therapy by G. Edward Griffin WORLD WITHOUT CANCER (first published 1974, latest edition 1996) is a book about the story of Laetrile, commonly called vitamin B17. Separated in two parts, WORLD WITHOUT CANCER firstly explores the remarkable success of Laetrile in treating cancer victims; and more importantly, the second part describes the politics of cancer therapy in which Griffin blows the lid off an all-powerful international chemical and drug cartel that has dominated the direction of health care since early this century. Not only has the Rockefeller-Farben combine been instrumental in fostering chemical-based drug treatment as the basis for health care, they have been the dominant adversary against safer non-drug treatments. Griffin's interest in the subject was aroused back in 1971 when his friend Dr John Richardson presented him with his findings on a control for cancer. The physician had stumbled across a revolutionary concept of cancer and a means of treating cancer. Using a safe natural substance called Laetrile, Dr Richardson had been able to successfully treat terminal cancer patients. However, the physician's "unorthodox" approach was fiercely opposed by other members of the medical profession including the American Medical Association, the American Cancer Society, and doctors on the staff of the hospital where he practiced. He was labelled a "quack" and was pressured to abandon his fruitful research and therapy. Upon questioning the motives behind the medical profession's opposition to an effective control for cancer, Griffin had started what turned out to be a 3-year research project which was to lead him to the uncovering of one of the most amazing stories of the Twentieth Century. His research covers world history, World War II, cartels, industry, the Nazis, foundations, and the information is taken primarily from government hearings. Hearings that took place between the years 1928 and 1946. A very important time in world history that saw the conglomeration of the world's chemical and drug giants. Griffin's investigation revealed that "In the years prior to World War II, there came into existence an international cartel, centered in Germany, that dominated the entire world's chemical and drug industries. It had spread its operations to ninety-three countries and was a powerful economic and political force in all countries. It was known as I.G. Farben." When John D. Rockefeller interlocked his American-based, international empire with that of I.G. Farben in 1928 "there was created the largest and most powerful cartel the world has ever known. Not only has that cartel survived through the years, it has grown and prospered. Today it plays a major role in both the science and politics of cancer therapy." In order to expand their drug operations the Rockefellers set about "educating" the medical profession. "Abraham Flexner, author of the famous Flexner Report of 1910, led the crusade for upgrading the medical schools of America. All the while he was in the employ of Andrew Carnegie [a Rockefeller stooge] and John D. Rockefeller who had set up gigantic tax-exempt foundations for that purpose. The end result was that all medical schools became heavily oriented toward drugs and drug research, for it was through the increased sale of drugs that the donors realized a profit on their donations." The medical profession and universities weren't the Rockefeller's only target for infiltration. "A brief backward glance at the total landscape will help us to appreciate more fully the present extent of cartel influence, not only in the FDA [United States' Food and Drug Administration], but at all levels of the federal government, for it is an historical fact that the centers of political power long have been the easy target of cartel penetration and control.... The list of men who are or were in key positions within the Rockefeller group reads like a 'Who's Who in Government'." Griffin is well known because of his unique talent for researching obscure and difficult topics and presenting them in clear, concise terms that all can understand. He is the author of numerous documentary books and films under diversified and controversial topics including the United Nations, the Supreme Court, US foreign policy, The John Birch Society, the Communist Party, and international banking. The information revealed WORLD WITHOUT CANCER adds to this impressive list of topics - his painstaking research and thorough analysis of the international chemical and drug cartel and their powerful allies is in our opinion one of the most authoritative and well-written treatise on this least understood subject. THE POLITICS OF CANCER THERAPY is an audio tape recording of a one-hour lecture by Griffin on the above subject. Based on the second part of WORLD WITHOUT CANCER, THE POLITICS OF CANCER THERAPY is a very good audio complement to his book, as it covers this very complex and interesting subject in an easy-to-understand manner. Murder By Injection: The Medical Conspiracy Against America by Eustace Mullins This book is a truly thorough account of the machinations underlying America's steadily deteriorating health, and is the result of some forty years of investigative research by the author Eustace Mullins. MURDER BY INJECTION reinforces and adds further light to the devastating exposÊs, WORLD WITHOUT CANCER by G. Edward Griffin, THE DRUG STORY by Morris Bealle and Hans Ruesch's NAKED EMPRESS OR THE GREAT MEDICAL FRAUD. MURDER BY INJECTION explains how the ruthless Rockefeller Syndicate - under the control of the world financial structure, chiefly the Rothschilds - plays the major political, health and educational roles in America. The book describes the various arms of the Rockefeller Syndicate and their functions: the Rockefeller Oil Trust, which incorporates much of the American military-industrial complex, has political control of the nation; the Rockefeller Medical Monopoly attains control of "health" care of America; and the Rockefeller Foundation, a web of affiliated tax exempt creations, effectively controls "education". Mullins specifies names throughout the book, many of them belonging to familiar public figures in America. Companies and their board of directors are listed with all their connections. Eustace Mullins says that in 1987 the United States still maintains an overwhelming lead in the production and sale of drugs. Eleven of the eighteen leading firms are located in the United States and the Drug Trust in the United States is controlled by the Rockefeller group. Mullins adds: "The major banks, defense firms, and prominent political figures interlock with the CIA and the drug firms." He further states that the Rockefeller interests, having established the American Drug Trust, had long been active not only in pharmaceutical drugs but in illegal drugs as well. Mullins writes: "No chronical of the world's important drug firms would be complete without relating the connection between drug firms and the world drug operation known as 'Dope, Inc.'." Mullins describes how the Rockefellers with the help of the American Medical Association and government officials gained control of America's "health" care industry in the early part of this century. "Educating" medical students was instrumental in their plan, Mullins writes: "Rockefeller's Education Board has spent more than $100 million to gain control of the nation's medical schools and turn our physicians to physicians of the allopathic school, dedicated to surgery and the heavy use of drugs." MURDER BY INJECTION describes in detail the many other dangerous and lucrative rackets that the Rockefeller Syndicate has foistered onto the unsuspecting public and which are responsible for the contamination of our land, oceans and rivers, our water and food supplies, and our bodies. For example Mullins writes: "While conducting wars of attrition against the leading exponents of better nutrition, the Food and Drug Administration and the American Medical Association have valiantly defended the use of chemical fertilizers... (which, according to Dr Alexis Carrel) 'without replacing all the exhausted elements of the soil, have indirectly contributed to change the nutritive value of cereal grains and vegetables.'" On vaccinations: "After the use of cowpox vaccine became widespread in England, a smallpox epidemic broke out which killed 22,081 people. The smallpox epidemics became worse each year that the vaccine was used. In 1872, 44,480 people were killed by it. England finally banned the vaccine in 1948, despite the fact that it was one of the most widely heralded 'contributions' which that country had made to modern medicine. This action came after many years of compulsory vaccination, during which period those who refused to submit to its dangers were hurried off to jail." On fluoridation: "What he [Oscar Ewing] wanted, and what he had been paid to bring about, was the national fluoridation of our drinking water... At the same time, Congressmen and other politicians in Washington were privately alerted by Ewing's minions that they should be careful about ingesting the fluoridated water. Supplies of bottled water from mountain springs then appeared in every office on Capitol Hill; these have been maintained continuously ever since, at the taxpayers' expense." On the consequences of the Rockefellers' control: "The criminal syndicalists are now looting the American nation of one trillion dollars each year, of which about one-third, more than three hundred billion dollars per year, represents the profitable depredations of the Drug Trust and its medical subsidiaries... "America became the greatest and most productive nation in the world. When the Rockefeller Syndicate began its takeover of our medical profession in 1910, our citizens went into a sharp decline. Today, we suffer from a host of debilitating ailments, both mental and physical, nearly all of which can be traced directly to the operations of the chemical and drug monopoly, and which pose the greatest threat to our continued existence as a nation." Although the book mainly deals with America, the situations described by Mullins in many respects equally applies to Australia, as in most other countries. The immense damning evidence that he presents makes MURDER BY INJECTION essential reading for those who are serious about understanding the true reasons behind our ailing health.

Animal Experimentation: The Hidden Cause of Environmental Pollution by Hoorik Davoudian Writing for the United States anti-vivisection organisation called SUPRESS the author makes a direct and comprehensive connection between animal research, chemical testing and production, and environmental pollution. Ms Davoudian who is a Hazardous Materials Manager for a government agency in California, exposes the scientific fraudulence of animal research and shows how it is routinely used and manipulated to make toxicants appear "safe" for human consumption. This concise 10-page booklet further shows how the inherently erroneous nature of vivisection renders environmental laws and regulations ineffective in controlling environmental pollution. Ms Davoudian came to the conclusion that vivisection is a scientific fraud when the very professors and researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (where the author received her Science degree) admitted that "they were faced with great difficulties in extrapolating the results of their animal tests to human beings". After researching the issue, she determined that rather than a "difficult" task, these "scientists" were faced with a total impossibility. In explaining the REAL motives behind industry and government's insistence on using unscientific animal testing, Ms Davoudian reveals: "The non-conclusive, erroneous nature of animal testing creates a smoke screen - an alibi which permits the continued manufacture of all kinds of toxic and hazardous chemicals. Vivisection conveys a false illusion of safety, but all it ensures is a continued demand for ever 'newer' and 'improved' products. The tragic result is that these seemingly 'safety tested' poisons are the very ones which pollute our air, water, food, and planet." On further explaining the role of vivisection, the author says: "From these 'studies', staggering amounts of ambiguous, contradictory, and invalid data are compiled. It is from these data that the 'scientist' draw their 'scientific' conclusions. And, of course, animal experimentation suits their purposes perfectly, because its non-conclusive and contradictory nature allows both the scientists and the chemical manufacturers to arrive at any kind of conclusion they desire. "For example, if they want to 'prove' that a particular chemical is not carcinogen, all they have to do is present the evidence from those animal tests that support this view. On the other hand, if they wish to prove that the same chemical is a carcinogen, then, with just as much conviction, they can present other laboratory tests that show the product to be carcinogenic." In addition to this, Ms Davoudian explains that the fraud of vivisection reaches beyond the process of chemical production and marketing and applies to the entire field of "environmental protection." Giving an example she says that "if a hazardous waste incinerator is to be built, the Environmental Impact Report (incorporating findings of animal studies), conducted by those in favor of the incinerator, will prove the 'harmlessness' of its air emissions with little difficulty. Yet a different Environmental Impact Report, conducted by the opposition, will prove the risks associated with the same incinerator to be unacceptable." The booklet is timely considering that recently the United States Institute of Environmental Health Services after reviewing their tests on laboratory animals has concluded that the Government should no longer rely on these tests because chemicals frequently have wholly different effects on animals and humans. Consequently the US environmental regulation has been thrown into question. Science On Trial by Dr Robert Sharpe The subtitle of this latest book by Robert Sharpe is The Human Cost of Animal Experiments, and that cost is great indeed. Drawing on extensive research, Sharpe, formerly a Senior Research Chemist at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School in London, presents a powerful body of evidence and argument to demonstrate that, far from being scientific, animal research is methodologically flawed, and has retarded advances in human health. The advocates of animal experimentation have mounted a sophisticated public relations campaign to justify the use of non-human animals as surrogates for human studies in a "controlled" environment, a claim rebutted by Sharpe. He reveals that the choice of animals is usually governed by factors such as cost, ease of management, and reproductive rates. Hence mice and rats, who scarcely resemble humans are the most popular choice. The book offers a wide range of empirical examples of the misleading results, false positives and missed opportunities arising from research based on a "logical fallacy". Millions of animals have been sacrificed for no apparent purpose, while research applicable to human beings has been ignored, often for decades. Animal studies attract a disproportionately large percentage of research funds compared with research of direct relevance to humans. For instance, forty years ago a famous study of the smoking habits of British doctors revealed that the chances of lung cancer increased with the number of cigarettes smoked. These findings were ignored in favour of animal studies in which, after fifty years of trying, scientists were unable to induce experimental cancers in animals by forced inhalation, feeding, or injection into the lungs. Benzene, arsenic and alcohol were correlated with human cancers long before animal studies were begun. In fact, in the case of arsenic, its suspected carcinogenicity was noted as far back as 1809. Workers in the metallurgical and other industries using arsenic were contracting cancer, but not until the 1980s were scientists able to induce cancer in experimental animals. [Which of course is a form of cancer dissimilar to the human cancer.] This was 180 years after arsenic was first suggested as a human carcinogen. Sharpe concludes that it would be nice to think that science could put its own house in order, "but in reality it will be an informed and determined public who finally provide the incentives for change. For all our sakes - Let's Liberate Science!" Reviewed by Margaret Setter in the Nov-Dec '94 issue of MEDITATION, the newsletter of the Medical Consumers Association of NSW.
