RCMP Investigates Human Rights Commision

Mikel Duffy Live

Be careful what you write on line, it may come back to haunt you.

The title of this thread was changed to RCMP Investigates Human Rights Commision, alleged hacking by CHRC employee.

It used to be: CHRC | Do as I say, not as I do.

The thread has also be moved to the Federal Politics section. It was originally placed in the International Politics > The Rest of the World section.

Boy, Ezra is on fire with this one. The person or persons who did this should be disciplined (criminally)and fired. Sounds like a one man issue with this Richard Warman (?) guy. Having said that, it sounds like another attack from the right on the CHRC, it sounds like a minor issue that could be solved easily.

On a side note, I love how he describes stealing a wireless signal as hacking, well I guess...

You really think this sounds like a minor issue? I disagree, it sounds to me like a huge issue. A commission with huge discretionary powers resorting to the behaviour of the lowest of the low. this has nothing to do with right or left and everything to do with abuse of authority. This entire issue merely serves to illustrate why these commissions should be scaled back drastically in the authority they both wield and abuse.

You should, because it is hacking. Illegal and unauthorized use of someone elses' account is hacking. It doesn't matter if you hack a hardline or a wireless signal, it is still illegal and it is still hacking.

Harper has all the evidence he needs for a shake up at CHRC.

And there you go.. this isn't about what the person did being wrong, its about the CPC wanted to mess with the CHRC.

And there you go.. this isn't about what the person did being wrong,

And there you go, assuming that it is just one person, nothing conclusive as to who was involved has been determined yet and will not be until the investigation has concluded.

It would appear to be quite a stretch to assume that this person operated in a vacuum and no one else had the slightest inkling of what was going on. In fact its such a stretch that reality would have to be viewed as highly elastic in order to blissfully assume such a conclusion.

I'm basing my comment on Ezra's, as I said in my original post, if there were others involved they should be charged criminally and fired. Did I not?

Well it may only be a factor of my personal perception but it would appear that you are assuming one person. In fact it appears to be pretty clear what you mean when you go to the trouble of bolding the before the word person. That is, you believe only one person was involved.

As for the hacking, I probably missed it but I don't remember anyone saying anything about hacking a wireless signal. The whole hacking thing will bear more scrutiny. Did this person construct a Cantenna (simple to do really) to intercept the signal, did they use a backdoor trojan, was it a Zombie Bot? All these questions will have to be answered and the answers will provide evidence of collusion by others, or lack there off.

There have been far too many questionable antics by members of the CHRC over the past several years, poor leadership, and lack of accountability are the probably causes, had the Liberals been in power, I would have wrote that they would have to had to do a major shake-up of this organization.

Ezra named one person, I took my cue from that. But again, if there are more, then hang em.

I made an assumption on the hacking, I could be way off.

Section 13 needs to be struck down yesterday.

Is Keith Martin's bill being read anytime soon?

They need to expedite this and the CPC need to get behind this yesterday. There is some scary, whacked out shit going on in the halls of the HRC's clear across this country. I keep reading about this in magazines and newspapers and have to pinch myself to keep frm thinking I'm living in Belarus or something.

crooked, power hungry do-gooders gone very very wrong. To what cost? meh, just our freedom of expression.

Everyone from every political stripe should be very concerned with what is going on here.

The hacking into accounts has been documented http://ezralevant.com/

The news peg for that TV appearance was the RCMP's investigation of the CHRC for allegedly committing the crime of hacking into a private citizen's Internet account. (That's contrary to the Criminal Code's section 184, "interception of communications"; section 326, "theft of telecommunication service"; section 342, "unauthorized use of computer"; and section 430, "mischief in relation to data".)

But watching the CTV clip again, it became clear to me that the non-criminal conduct -- the CHRC making bigoted Internet posts -- was equally flabbergasting, not only to Duffy, but to the partisan panellists that were asked about it in the TV segment after mine. None of the panellists wanted to talk about the RCMP investigation -- that's fine -- but they all seemed genuinely shocked at hearing about the CHRC's bigotry; Liberal Don Boudria called them "alleged improprieties", but improprieties nonetheless.

But those improprieties are not just "alleged". They are admitted to, under oath, by the CHRC.

Richard Warman, the former CHRC "anti-hate" investigator, admitted under oath to using several codenames for his bigoted posts, including codenames "Pogue Mahone", "Axetogrind" and "Lucy". And Dean Steacy, who still works at the CHRC, said that he, Warman, and others used "Jadewarr".

Here's a written confession by Steacy to using "Jadewarr". And here's a transcript of Warman, under oath, admitting (after first "forgetting") that he used codename "Lucy". And here's Warman's admission that he used the codename "Pogue Mahone". Et cetera. Warman even says that he's been to Stormfront and other anti-Semitic websites so often, he even "forgets" some of the many codenames he uses. There could be a dozen.
