Auntie This is NOT Wanda Probe

Tags

It’s been many months since we made this post to publicly inform Ms. Tittler (and others) of our identity and mission yet the posts on her page with incorrect information remain. Might seem like a small thing but it evidences a pattern of behavior where “Tittler ignores or selectively uses history”. We want to #StopOnlineHate and #ShutERBLdown

auntiethis's avatarauntiethis

Auntie This is a collective blog written by several people in collaboration and with the support and input of a larger group of people who have been working, formally and informally, to combat racism and hate speech against First Nations people.  

The owners of this blog have been in contact with law enforcement about ERBL’s Hate Speech and have provided their full names and contact information to the authorities with their statements.   

There have been considerable attacks made by ERBL End Race Based Laws, against another activist blogger: Wanda Probe (aka BeWytchMe Radio),based on Michele Tittler’s (the owner of ERBL) misinformed beliefs that Wanda is the owner of the Auntie This blog.   Wanda Probe is NOT a contributor to this blog. 

Misinformation, and the willful propagation of it, forms the basis of much of ERBL’s activities.    Attempts to dialogue with ERBL about these issues are constantly…

Tamara Ward Johnson’s Indian Bounty: Police Chief Not A Fan

Tags

, , , , ,

Since our last review of Tamara Ward Johnson’s incipient political career, many significant things have happened. She’s lost an election – soundly – getting a measly 3.33% of the vote – pretty close to the statistical “margin of error”.  In addition, her ERBL “friends” have increased by a full 20%, showing a deeper involvement with that hate group.  And – significantly – she’s decided to take her one-trick-pony show into municipal politics. Apparently Thunder Bay hasn’t seen the last of Tamara – nor the last of her merry band of hateful out-of-towners.

Now Johnson is suddenly offering a reward on one of many of the dreary crimes that plague Thunder Bay; hoping to drop her race card again, and anteing up on her next adventure in political oblivion.  And – unsurprisingly – the Chief of Police has had to go public with a request that people not fund vigilante action based on rumours and hear-say.   You can see such a thing happening in Tombstone, in the 19th century, but is completely surrealistic to see something like this happening in a modern city in the 21st century.

Clearly too much money and too little thought have created a strange brew of political nihilism in Tamara Ward’s little group.  Her advisers are clearly giving her terrible advice in strategy – and worse tactics; and it’s time to figure out why she’s going down such a disastrous road -though perhaps wasting more money in her next little lesson about the failure of racist politics will drive the lesson home to her: one can only hope.  One can only hope that she’ll finally question her new-found alliance with ERBL, which has pretty much destroyed her political credibility for all time with her advertisement of an Indian Bounty.

The Police Chief’s answer:

Thunder Bay Chief of Police reply

It’s unfortunate that the Chronicle Journal has decided to publish yet more inflammatory and irresponsible trash from Tamara Ward Johnson; as the police have yet to get a formal complaint; and no one – least of all Johnson – have bothered to ask the family – and still-unknown victim –  if they even want to pursue the matter.  All these important aspects have been treated as minor details which have been unrelated by an hearsay account; and which TWJ has unfortunately overlooked in her greed for publicity – along with any scruples a moral person would have about jumping to rabid conclusions and inflaming passions based on her self-centered ambition and screaming need for an audience – at any cost.

In the meantime, she’s got people calling the police – with no file number to reference – and no name for the victim of an as-yet unreported crime.

It’s gotten really bad that the Chief of Police has to put out a request that people NOT put out rewards without some degree of consultation – as that action might compromise – and effectively destroy – any investigative work that is going on.  The long and short of it: want to get a criminal off? Give his lawyer lots of good reasons to question any evidence.  And that’s exactly what Tamara Ward Johnson has done with her foolish publicity stunt.

Why would someone do such a thing? The answer is easy: bad advice and a raucous cheering section of ideologues who don’t live in Thunder Bay, don’t care what happens in Thunder Bay, and have zero investment in Tamara Ward Johnson’s future.

Below, a continuation of our graph showing how ERBL has taken over Tamara’s “friends” list.  ERBL has clearly collected followers from TWJ – as predicted – but it looks like ERBL followers – principally the more strident ones – are starting to drift away from the failed candidate; something with which other marginalized political wannabe’s like Dayleen Van Ryswyk can surely sympathize.  In the meantime – as we’ll discover – ERBLites have taken full control of TWJ’s page: controlling the discourse, shouting down dissenters, monopolizing conversation to saturation levels.
Redux Page 01

Everybody who have been tracking TWJ’s divisive tactics was a little surprised at her immediate response to our July article. A public figure who made a great show of being unconcerned with the views – and feelings – of others had suddenly become quite fractious at the mere revelation that 50 ERBL fans had suddenly – and unaccountably – joined her provincial campaign.  Even more surprisingly, those ERBL fans – far from hiding their heads – were blithely demonstrating their participation in an ongoing effort to bolster the appearance of strength on TWJ’s page, including the characteristic ERBL tactics of spinning up new Facebook pages to slander perceived opponents, locking down previously open public pages, and banning any dissenting voices from “public forums”.

And – true to form – John Podolaniuk, her own personal henchman,  responded to the revelation like a scalded cat: threatening law suits (never filed); promising the imminent closure of this blog (never happened) and speculating wildly about a host of possibilities; but never – ever – answering the simple question about the suspicious activity of those ERBL followers.  While mounting his campaign, he did – accidentally – reveal that he seems to be using false IDs – from Calgary – to accomplish his ends: yet another out-of-towner; yet another adept user of sock puppet IDs to accomplish his goal of dissimulation; standard operating practice for ERBL

As can be seen below, the response soon moved away from Tamara’s prim comments about the failings of slander – to slander – led by the leader of ERBL herself, and bolstered by her regular foot-soldiers in many months of social media militancy.

Redux Page 02

Tittler can literally go on for hours about her delusions of a Moriarty-like Wanda Probe: she’s never at her best unless creating “facts” off the top of her head; imagination fully streaming to fill the large vacuums in her knowledge of the world.  Surprisingly, the recently un-hinged Mr. Podolaniuk soon joins Tittler in her slander; blithely unaware of the irony in his support for Tittler’s years long campaign of slander, bullying, threats, and stalking against Wanda Probe – whose only crime is a refusal to be bullied by Tittler; and an intelligence which allows her to best Tittler at every opportunity, including her clever mimicry of what an honest “End Race Based Laws” might look like.

Podolaniuk’s sudden, almost feral, anger at a fairly mild revelation of political skullduggery was something of a surprise: almost like he’d been caught at something.

Redux Page 03

Below, an example of John’s response – an almost Tittlerian display of his creative relationship with reality.  In the course of a few days, he contacted this site; bombarded it with threatening messages using two separate IDs; and generally made a nuisance of himself.  In an amazing display of a his lack of scruple, he also revealed information about a young kid – purportedly his son – and pretty much offered up that living, breathing young man as a subject for stalking.

His mistake was simple: not understanding that there are people in the world who wouldn’t think of stalking a young child – unlike his ally Michele Tittler; not to mention the fact that – fantastically – the kid he offered up for sacrifice just happened to be the family friend of one of our “Auntie” collaborators.  Turns out Calgary is a fairly small town for those who know – and are respected – by a lot of people; including the only Podolaniuks in town.Redux Page 04

Please note the almost total control of the thread by Michele Tittler, John Podolaniuk, and “Rusty Nails” – who is either Brian Webster’s duller kid brother, or Brian Webster with a couple of beers in him.  Any suggestion of a principled response goes out the window as the principles return to their high-school game of denigration and derogation: like a out of control yearbook committee, they have no concept of how venal and bullying their conduct appears to others.

Redux Page 05

Tamara’s response above is rich: “As if I would write untruths or lies!”.

This – after completely flubbing a CBC interview in which a very competent reporter made sure her every mistaken conception and every  area of ignorance was laid quite bare.  The reason for her unfounded confidence – and her gaping ignorance – can be seen below: her long-standing relationship with ERBL; her regular participation in their hateful and oblivious discourse; and her inability to deal with reality outside that safe echo chamber.

Redux Page 06

When this last piece of Tamara’s past was screen-capped by a local citizen – and the obvious questions about Tamara’s racist sentiments were asked – John Podolaniuk put up the following defense:

Redux Page 07

This is J Pod doing what he does best when presented by hard question: deflection, deflection, deflection.

“What does this have to do with the municipal election?”:

TWJ is a candidate – and is supposed to be representing all the citizens, not a particular group of them.

“What does ERBL have to do with Thunder Bay?”:

Good question, John:  why exactly are you – and almost 50 ERBL members  – who do not even live in Thunder Bay – so interested in the politics there?  Why are they spending so much time on TWJ’s page, on “Concerned Citizens of Thunder Bay”, and on the local media social media pages; often to the exclusion of actual citizens of Thunder Bay?

The answer is simple: they are monopolizing the conversation on Tamara’s page; and shifting the public discourse in Thunder Bay in a frighteningly divisive and racist direction.  Check the conversation below, from TWJ’s page in July: ERBL shouting down and shutting down any views that don’t accord with theirs – and all out-of-towners:

Redux Page 08

There’s your punch-line. After a disappointing – in every respect – provincial campaign, Tamara Ward Johnson now wants to take her “racially charged” one-trick-pony show to municipal politics – supported by her 60 ERBL foot soldiers.

During the provincial election, we came upon a simple device: an “ERBL Bingo Card” which allows people to spot ERBLites when they start trying to take over public discussions.  We’ve seen it in action; and seen the way the revelation of those ERBL links – and the out-of-town status of the speakers – served to discredit their statements and confound their attempts to influence people’s thinking in Thunder Bay.  The effect was so strong on the ERBL keyboard warriors that several of them actually broke with Michele Tittler after Johnson’s resounding defeat, blaming Tittler for their public embarrassment; particularly Dayleen Van Ryswyck, who still hopes to somehow translate her two previous political disasters into a municipal career.  Below, an updated version of the Bingo Card for the municipal election:

TWJ NF Page 6

Watch below as an apparent open and democratic discussion is heavily mediated and controlled by multiple ERBL members who don’t live in Thunder Bay, and have a very particular ideological agenda to sell. All people highlighted in red are known ERBL supporters who magically appeared in Tamara’s friends list during the provincial election::

Redux Page 10
When citizens appear with pertinent questions and intelligent arguments, they are immediately shut down with a barrage of deflections by multiple ERBL partisans: any concept of democratic discussion and argument has disappeared from the page:

Redux Page 11

Redux Page 12

It’s gotten so bad that even long-term Tamara Ward Johnson supporters are starting to notice the problem.  However, given the type of discourse; and the supporters’ unawareness of the motivations of the people monopolizing and guiding the conversation, the strange constant deflection towards native bashing becomes a mystery – and perhaps an expression of the popular mood.

Redux Page 13

It’s neither a mystery – nor an expression of the popular will: it’s the conscious strategy of an ambitious political wannabe – bolstered by a coterie of ideological fanatics – who have been working with her to present a false picture of her political support – and to mold the political discourse in Thunder Bay to her advantage.

It’s been quite clear in the hiatus between the provincial election and the municipal elections that the 50 ERBL members who originally migrated to TWJ’s page in the spring – now bolstered by more members – are working in a coordinated manner to influence political discourse in Thunder Bay – as has been the case across Western Canada at any time that issues relating to the First Nations arise.  Tamara Ward Johnson’s twin campaigns have very much been a part of their strategy; and her closest supporters, John Podolaniuk and Brian Webster, are fully part of that strategy.

Let’s have a look at Tamara’s recent announcement that she’ll be publishing a reward in a recently described case of bullying and assault.  Here’s the original description in a letter to the editor:

beating report

And here’s Tamara on the subject:

Tamara beating

Interesting “inferences”.  If the attack wasn’t “clearly motivated by hate and racism” – we have not heard from the media, the police, the victim, the family or the perpetrators on that account – we can assuredly “infer” that Tamara’s characterization of the event surely is “clearly motivated by hate and racism”.

So – in the absence of any information about a reported crime, Tamara has made up some “facts” about the events; reported the event to the world – without bothering to talk to the victim, his family, or even collecting a case number from the police – and is seeking to offer an reward for what may turn out to be an “unreported crime”.

And all because of her conviction that the perpetrators must be ‘not “white”‘ – and her conviction that they must therefore be native.

And why is this particular crime so special? And why does this particular crime – of all of them – arouse Tamara so much?

To quote Tamara: “You publicity seeking phoney!”

An ambitious and often foolish political wannabe, Tamara is looking for a soapbox to do her grandstanding from; and this is the one she has chosen: an “unreported crime” – before the facts come in.  The “actual, physical, illegal acts” are still unknown for the most part, and perhaps under investigation. Nevertheless, undaunted by her complete lack of knowledge in the affair, Tamara Ward Johnson wades in: the better to inflame the feelings of her supporters.

Tamara Ward Johnson’s summing up:

TWJ beating conclusion

Given TWJ’s “inferences”, it isn’t difficult to make “inferences” about the “certain element” she’s referring to; “the cancer” that she wants to “cut out of society.”

And as a councillor-at-large on the Thunder Bay City Council, no less!

Clearly delusional; and clearly ignorant of her powers – and the powers of Mayors and City Councils.

But her followers hear her; and know no better than to believe her.  Here’s a follower’s reply to a previous example of grandstanding: on the previous day, on a report of a similar “unreported crime” from yesterday:

Terry Innes, TWJ's soldier

Why – it’s Michele Tittler’s old pal, ERBL stalwart and TWJ friend, Terry Innes!  How amazing that a white supremacist from the oil patch would suddenly be interested in Thunder Bay politics!

Please notice how his language so closely matches the dehumanizing, revanchist language perpetrated by Tamara Ward Johnson: any differences, not differences in kind; but in degree.  And – of course – this classic example of Innes’ violent solutions to everything was ignored by Tamara until someone screen-capped it and posted it back on her page – to her profound embarrassment.

Innes’ posting – and the screen-cap – were immediately deleted.
The person who did the screen-cap was immediately barred.
And Innes – unsurprisingly – remains a friend on Tamara Ward Johnson’s page:

After all, his “distinct and disproportionate proclivity to resort to extreme violence” is well know in white supremacist circles: to misquote Richard Nixon – he’s an asshole; but he’s THEIR asshole.

And this is how Tamara behaves when she hasn’t been given even the slightest amount of power.  Cluelessness and an overwheening sense on entitlement make for a bad politician: a potential municipal nightmare of Fordian proportions! It’s time that she withdraw from the campaign – and save the voters of Thunder Bay the trouble of sending her – and her cowboy henchmen – packing.

 

Tamara Ward Johnson’s Race Card: ERBL Is The Trump

Since our last review of Tamara Ward Johnson’s incipient political career, many significant things have happened. She’s lost an election – soundly – getting a measly 3.33% of the vote – pretty close to the statistical “margin of error”.  In addition, her ERBL “friends” have increased by a full 20%, showing a deeper involvement with that hate group.  And – significantly – she’s decided to take her one-trick-pony show into municipal politics. Apparently Thunder Bay hasn’t seen the last of Tamara – nor the last of her merry band of hateful out-of-towners.

Tamara’s big break-out into public consciousness came with her de-selection by the Progressive Conservatives in the last provincial election.  She was picked up by the Liberterians – who in their desperation for a win decided that racism might be their single-issue “wedge” for a victory; published a racially inflammatory ad which gained greater public recognition; blew every media opportunity which ensued through a skillful blend of obliviousness, an astonishing lack of knowledge about basic Canadian history, politics, treaties, and constitutional law; and displayed a “deer in the headlights” refusal to acknowledge that she might be in the path of a very large – and very implacable – fact: her imminent electoral defeat by a public which disliked her nasty and divisive ideology.

Now Johnson is suddenly offering a reward on one of many of the dreary crimes that plague Thunder Bay; hoping to drop her race card again, and anteing up on her next adventure in political oblivion.  And – unsurprisingly – the Chief of Police has had to go public with a request that people not fund vigilante action based on rumours and hear-say.   You can see such a thing happening in Tombstone, in the 19th century, but is completely surrealistic to see something like this happening in a modern city in the 21st century.  Clearly too much money and too little thought have created a strange brew of political nihilism in Tamara Ward’s little group.  Her advisors are clearly giving her terrible advice – and worse tactics; and it’s time to figure out why though perhaps wasting more money in her next little lesson about the failure of racist politics will drive the lesson home to her: one can only hope.  One can only hope that she’ll finally question her new-found alliance with ERBL, which has pretty much destroyed her political credibility.

Idle No More: Indians Cost So Much

Perspective…things become clearer when you use facts

Admin's avatarElyse Bruce

Lately, there have been some who are bemoaning that the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (now known as Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada) was spending $922 per registered Indian in 1950, and today, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (formerly known as the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development) is spending $9,056 per status First Nations person.

They point to the such documents as those published by the Fraser Institute to support their claim that Indigenous peoples are getting far more financial support from the government than they deserve.

Let’s compare 1950 with today so we can see if the claims of those who decry this spending have merit.

The information in this article comes from government files which means they are factual.  They are interpretations or anecdotal, romanticized memories from those who lived in 1950.  They are not “Richie Cunningham of Happy…

Idle No More: The Way Some See Things

While we would expect nothing short of excellent work from this author, this article is a wonderful precis of MTs recent video and a summary of how flawed are the arguments advanced by ERBL. Thank you once again Ms. Bruce.

Admin's avatarElyse Bruce

Over the months that Idle No More has been around, there have been those who are strong advocates for the movement and there have been those who are strong opponents to the movement.  And in between, there are a number of people who have populated the spectrum between the two.

One of the most recognized names in the opponents corner is Michele Tittler, and her rants against Indigenous peoples is what some consider to be extreme.  But who is Michele Tittler?

She claims to have attended Humber College in the early 80s. She records herself dancing and uploads the videos to YouTube.   Mainstream media reports that she’s in her fifties and has a history of harassing people.  And CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) has referred to her as an aggressive and racially charged Internet troll.

Canada’s Genocide Loophole

Few Canadians appear to be aware that Canada’s legal definition of genocide omits a number of the criteria outlined in the UN convention against genocide. Genocide isn’t only mass murder.

We already have a term for that: mass murder.

The use of the term genocide entails identifying the prevailing logic used to justify certain atrocities, but these are in no way limited only to mass murder. Forcibly taking children of a specific group is genocide.

People seem to conveniently forget that.

The definition of genocide as defined by Raphael Lemke; who invented the word:

[G]enocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

However, in writing their own definition, the Canadian government has been amazingly selective:

genocide means an act or omission committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, an identifiable group of persons, as such, that, at the time and in the place of its commission, constitutes genocide according to customary international law or conventional international law or by virtue of its being criminal according to the general principles of law recognized by the community of nations, whether or not it constitutes a contravention of the law in force at the time and in the place of its commission.”

The fact that (c), (d), and (e) have been left out of Canada’s definition should be grounds for deep and abiding suspicion – not for comfort.

After all, failure to have achieved their stated goals – “Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic” – does not count as a defense.

And every time people from the dominant culture in Canada speak of a “failure” in the residential schools, it leaves one wondering about just which failure they’re addressing:

  • the “failure” of their genocidal residential school policy to achieve their goals;
  • their “failure” to adequately administer it, resulting in widespread abuse;
  • or their failure in imagination when forced to engage with the continuing historical existence – and the unrelenting cultural persistence – of their First Nations neighbours and relations.

While the Truth and Reconciliation process has been the grounds for much healing and much reconciliation, the Canadian governments – and the churches – continue to be evasive with the truth.

And that evasion of responsibility continues to leave the dominant population of Canada with a false idea of the horrific experience that Canada’s First Nations have lived through.

It is – I understand – a principle of Christian dogma that contrition precedes forgiveness.  And – aside from some mumbled pieties – the churches and governments seem to have not been contrite enough to expose their crimes and records to the public gaze.  Those are well protected behind walls of lawyers and legal subterfuge: bland committees of lawyers and divines have crafted “apologies” which serve to mask those truths.  It’s not enough.

Perhaps the churches and governments should look to their catechisms: the blood has been shed; contrition is missing; and forgiveness can not be expected until the country’s religious and political leaders reveal the real truth about their complicity in a genocidal  policy.  It ain’t just about the child abuse – though that’s bad enough; it’s about a long-held racist belief that somehow the First Nations can be scraped off the land; out of the history books; and out of the nation’s conscience.

ERBL: The Seduction of Tamara Ward Johnson

, ,

In the past, we’ve been doing an overview of ERBL’s activities and friends over the past few years, including a breakdown of both Mickey’s stage-front persona as well as Gerry’s multiple back-channel contacts with a great diversity of folks in the lunatic right Recently, we’ve had the opportunity to look in as ERBL has actually infiltrated and take over someone’s web page; effectively destroying her political career in their quest for wider publicity and more members. Right now, TWJ is still of use to ERBL, so they’re playing her hard.  However – as other “allies” have learned – ERBL’s tactics are brutal when your usefulness runs out.   TWJ thinks she might have a future in municipal politics;  but when she hears from the polls, she’ll be hitting a wall – and that’s when ERBL will just walk away. Below you’ll find the results of our analysis of Tamara Ward Johnson’s Facebook page.

A Thunder Bay shopkeeper, Tamara was running for the Conservative Party there when she repeated some things that she’d heard around town – and the roof fell in on her. Turns out that Tamara doesn’t have a good grasp on the Law, the Constitution, Treaty Rights, and a host of other things that might be important for a politician. For most folks, you can fake it – or fudge it – and usually you can get through a conversation.  For a political candidate, shooting off your mouth without checking the facts is deadly. Tamara was tossed out by the Conservatives without so much as a “fare thee well”.  Luckily – or unluckily – for Tamara; the Libertarians, a wildly marginal party, was looking for a candidate with some public profile – and Tamara got the nod.

What the Libertarians were looking for was a well-known single-issue candidate like Rob Ford; who could break through the multiple establishment parties and give the Libertarians a seat.  So they went with that single flub of Tamara’s – and doubled down on it with a newspaper ad repeating the misinformation.  Then ERBL joined in. Below you’ll see the results. ERBL flooded Tamara’s page – and changed the discourse in their characteristic hateful way.  Tamara had no idea what was happening:

TWJ Page 1

The change starts slowly.  While Tamara has just been kicked out of her party – and everyone is walking away from a political disaster – suddenly she’s had a whole bunch of new friends who just wanted to help. TWJ Page 2

Unfortunately, very few of her new friends come from Thunder Bay.  In fact, they’re really there just to spread ERBL’s ideology,and not to get Tamara elected; a fact that Tamara – a political innocent – hasn’t figured out to this day.

TWJ Page 3

What Tamara doesn’t know is that some of the folks who are pushing her in this new direction for her political career are in fact well-known trolls and marginal, seriously eccentric racists.  For example, can you spot the Aryan in the above group of “likes”? The answer is here. In the following, you’ll see how things go: starting with a ERBL member – who regularly pretends to be from Thunder Bay –  grabbing hold of the conversation after TWJ posts something.

TWJ Page 4a TWJ Page 4c

Pretty soon, others join in: and all don’t even come from Thunder Bay.  It’s clear that – although they’re joining in to a discussion about local municipal politics, they are not at all knowledgeable about Thunder Bay; in fact, couldn’t care less about the discussion.  The two ERBLites are just talking the way they always talk – laying down their talking points: with no concern about the actual subject of the post; what has been said; or who has been saying it.

TWJ Page 4b

This kind of discourse – along with the, uh, interesting graphics, has the effect of driving away the uncommitted – and those who actually know something about the subject you’re talking about.  What’s left in the thread is the ERBLites – and those who are easy to convince. In the next posting, you can see how ERBL takes control of the discourse by buffing Tamara’s ego while at the same time laying down their ideology.  People from elsewhere, joining in to a discussion of a Thunder Bay event – and, in one case, pretending that they can actually effect things in Thunder Bay.

TWJ Page 5a

Please note that Gail Dyer suggests that she’ll be voting “for the first time in [her] life”.  Well – not in Thunder Bay: Gail lives in Eastern Ontario. In the meantime, people from Thunder Bay are falling away from a page which is increasingly – well – cranky.

TWJ Page 4c

Not included here is the host of times that the ERBLites have literally howled down citizens of Thunder Bay when they’ve suggested any concerns about what people are saying – and the way they are saying it. It’s obvious that ERBL has TWJ’s ear, because – true to ERBL’s technique – Tamara has now made her page “invite only”: which allows her to bar people if they don’t like what she’s saying; have questions about the facts she’s presenting; or don’t like the sentiments of the ERBL commentators.  In Tamara’s page these days, discussion and political discourse is at an end: if you don’t agree with Tamara – and ERBL – you’re simply thrown out. But – don’t take it from me!  Here’s a nice game card that you can use to analyze Tamara’s – and a few other – pages.  Here are the ERBLites – all “friends of Tamara” – who are trying to speak for the people of Thunder Bay:

TWJ Page 6

Let’s have a look at that first graph again: As ERBL takes control of the discourse on TWJ’s page,and  Tamara loses her soft support  – as well as the support of those who actually want positive change in Thunder Bay – you can see an small number of Thunder Bay residents who are starting to tune into ERBL’s profoundly racist message.

TWJ Page 1

That’s what ERBL is looking for in every Social Media campaign they run: an increase in ERBL numbers – not Tamara’s.  And after TWJ’s fantasy hits that electoral wall – when ERBL moves on to their next campaign – they’ll leave TWJ isolated and lost – wondering whatever happened to her reputation.  Or – more sadly – wandering the political wilderness as one of ERBL’s shock troops – like Darleen Van RysWyck – with less than 1% of the vote in her last by-election and media descriptions like “crass”, “classless” and “weird”.

But that’s her choice.  Lots of folks have tried to warn her; but somehow the stroking of the ERBLites gets her attention more than hard realities: not a good characteristic for someone involved in politics.

ERBL’s Bad June: Last week, T’Bay rejected ERBL’s ideology; this week, City of Vancouver and the Supreme Court reject ERBL’s ideology

ERBL learned an important lesson about “political activism” this week.
We thought we’d share it with you.

If you ever want to go to a general discussion about a particular issue in order to derail it, make a scene, and discuss your racist agenda – it’s important that you don’t:

  1. Boast about your plans to make an unproductive scene on Facebook.

Derail

 

2 . Send nasty racist messages to the hosts containing the rant you’re planning to deliver at the event

City of Vancouver Tweet

3. Make a scene when the hosts – after a nice polite conversation – don’t believe you aren’t planning on making a scene.

The evening, after all, was an evening for people under 30; designed specifically to allow people to talk about Tankers and Vancouver in a safe accepting environment.  There was input from all kinds of people, with all kinds of opinions – about tankers: pro-tanker, anti-tanker; pro-Oil Sands; anti- Tar Sands.

The only person there to racialize the discussion was Michelle Tittler.

And the City of Vancouver wisely decided to refuse her a platform.

As you can hear in the video, the crowd definitely knew who she was; and they were disgusted by her.

Auntie This is NOT Wanda Probe

Auntie This is a collective blog written by several people in collaboration and with the support and input of a larger group of people who have been working, formally and informally, to combat racism and hate speech against First Nations people.  

The owners of this blog have been in contact with law enforcement about ERBL’s Hate Speech and have provided their full names and contact information to the authorities with their statements.   

There have been considerable attacks made by ERBL End Race Based Laws, against another activist blogger: Wanda Probe (aka BeWytchMe Radio),based on Michele Tittler’s (the owner of ERBL) misinformed beliefs that Wanda is the owner of the Auntie This blog.   Wanda Probe is NOT a contributor to this blog. 

Misinformation, and the willful propagation of it, forms the basis of much of ERBL’s activities.    Attempts to dialogue with ERBL about these issues are constantly and consistently blocked.     ERLB’s activities were recently included in an academic paper about racism .  The academic journal can be found at this link

“Other non-indigenous peoples from different class and political backgrounds, for example Mark Vandermass (2013) and Garry McHale (2013) on their respective webpages, tend to couch their racism in liberalism (Smith 2010), such as equality-as-sameness and rule of law discourses, while ignoring or revising history. Women are also involved in this sort of covert racism, but Michele Tittler (2013) is far more overt. Tittler ignores or selectively uses history while couching her diatribes in entitlement and accountability discourses. Non-indigenous conservative academics (Flanagan 2000; Smith 1996) and journalists (Blatchford 2010; Murphy 2013) couch their ethnocentric (at the very least) views on indigenous peoples in outmoded archaeology, doctrines of liberalism, accountability and private-property discourses to make their cases for assimilation and the backwardness and criminality of indigenous peoples.”

End Race Based Law: How To Run A Hate Group

For the past few weeks we’ve been looking at End Race Based Law’s activities in the past year; its almost supernatural ability to generate hate speech and race-bait those who might think they’ll get a decent hearing from the ERBL crew; and the amazing way an “anti-racist” group can find itself in bed with racists of the most virulent kind; as well as a little bit about how Mickey operates – and the way she’s constructed on-line personas to suit her needs

In this account, we’ll be drilling down into the online activities of Gerry; and the possible motivations behind their amazingly effective hate campaign. Contrary to what’s said on ERBL, there is no indication that Gerry is a legal professional. When looking at his material, it’s quite clear that he has neither the knowledge base – nor the mental habits required – to practice law successfully at any level.

What Gerry seems to be – in fact – is something of an itinerant audio engineer, with no regular gig – perhaps semi-retired – but certainly with no important profile in any of the industries which use audio engineers regularly.

00gerru

Let’s have a look, once again, at one of his famous “Wall Of Texts”: nothing original outside of his semi-literate EMPHASIS ADDED; no interpretation; and an almost unreadable format.  His “Wall Of Texts” are meant to support whatever argument he’s proposing; but are definitely not meant to be read.  In fact, they rarely backup his assertions, but merely act as wallpaper to cover his lack of facts – which is critical to his role as ‘brainiac’ of ERBL.  Have a look: your first instinct will be to simply call a TLDR; if you persist, you’ll find there’s actually nothing there to support any argument he’s trying to make:01Super Brainia1

In fact, the purpose of his screed is usually to give ERBL followers an excuse to make some random, uninformed, emotional response – usually derogatory – to his equally uninformed argument.  Here’s the typical response from just last week: “create militias”; “the next round of Cowboys and Indians”; “it would be messy”; “needs to be sorted out and really quickly”.

Here are explicit incitements to violence on a public, moderated Facebook page – with the moderator – Gerry Gagnon – clearly present; and violent comments are left to stand in a way that no opposing voice would be allowed.  Gerry in fact has nothing to say other than to point out that “Obama” must have something to do with it; and the it’s just more ‘”Indigenous Peoples” nonsense’.  All typical “intellectual” discourse for a hate-filled echo chamber.02SuperBrainia2

As we have documented previously, ERBL has built this group based on their infiltration of a whole series of anti-native groups, as well as with smaller “closed groups” they have built to coordinate their activities.  They have also been picking up a wide set of different associates.  Interestingly, for an ‘anti-racist’ group, their requirements for allies don’t include any kind of ‘anti-racist’ activity: profound negativity about the First Nations seems to be their only criterion for membership.

05gerryERBLsecret

As we can see, under ERBL leadership, we’ve ended up with many different groups which have been actively working against First Nations interests in the social media.  They seem to be actively reaching out to as many people as they can – and actively spreading their influence to as many people as possible.

06gerriinmr-MAYBE members

Here’s one such instance of the ERBL groups out-reach: the group Entitled No More receiving a link to a highly tendentious article from their favourite news source – SunNews.

07gerry ENM

Sometimes, their enthusiasm for constantly creating new groups and identities has resulted in hilarious mis-steps; like this group which seems to have been created purely for the purpose of bullying people.  Is ERBL accidentally describing themselves with complete subconscious clarity?

08erbl whoops

In the past while, we’ve been using a massive collection of screen-caps from various pages to document ERBL’s activities over the past year.  While doing that, we’ve also been tracking down the appearance of many of ERBL’s principals on a variety of people’s friends lists; or – if a particular friends list is blocked – tracking their appearance on people’s news feeds as “likes” or “comments”.

What we’ve found has been fascinating: a clear effort to use social media to advance their racist agenda – as well as to ally themselves with some of the most despicable hate groups in Western Canada.

Here we have Gerry with a combination of “moderately” anti-native people, ERBL principals,  and Canadian Taxpayer Federation followers on his friendship list – while he – or “Charlie Tofawders” -appear on the feeds of the viciously anti-native Annette Gionet and Jody Issel; along with the equally vicious “Singfreid VanderKunt” and Wayne Naylor.

For more on some of these individuals, their connections can be tracked in our previous article “Incitement and Aryans”:

009hatersfriendslist

And incitement remains the name of the game: here Gerry – easily identified by his faux-journalistic “from the COMMENT section:” – takes up with an extremist call to take up arms with a call to barrage a crown attorney with outrage:

10 gerr incitement

And here’s a good example of the kind of folks that Gerry’s hanging out with on those friends lists and social media sites – salt-of-the-earth racists using everyday slanders along with insults against Native spirituality:

11erble wolf

Genocidal sentiments prevail; incitements to violence are common: and all these folks clearly work closely with the “anti-racists” at ERBL:

A typical sentiment from Wayne Naylor

12inmr laugh it up Redskin

No amount of hyperbole is too much for these folks.  Here, INMR mainstay, Terry Innes, tries to re-invent the concentration camp: ‘for their own “Safety”‘:

18erbl more land

All of these folks aren’t just on the group’s main pages – not just visitors – but also on their personal friends lists, closed groups; as well as joining their campaigns on social media sites; in addition to crowding on to various unknowing peoples’ personal pages in order to sway popular sentiment in a dangerously racist direction.  As we’ve built our matrix for these people, it becomes clear that they are following a coordinated plan – as ERBL joins with other anti-native groups to spread their particular brand of hate:

014haters friendslist2a

Here, for example is a demonstration last year for Wayne Naylor’s “Idle No More Resistance” group; or – alternately – “the Naylor family”.  That’s a pretty small turn-out – with identically fabricated signs.   Not much of a bang for Mr. Naylor’s buck:

15inmr - lethbridge

But here’s something even more interesting: the account by the former administrator of INMR of the way that Michele Tittler hijacked his group for  her own purposes.  You can note his confidence in retaking his group as well as his trust for good ole Gerry – who plays the familiar “Good Cop” role that the INMR thought was theirs.  Since then, Naylor has taken over the group – and Del-ciotto is licking his wounds and prospecting in the Similkameen…

16Gino Del INMR

Under Naylor – under the tutelage of Tittler – and with the quiet support of Gerry, Idle No More Resistance has turned into something that is very different from Del-ciotto’s vision: constant calls for violence, completely obvious hate speech; self-evident dehumanization of First Nations people.

17gerry  inmr

Occasionally, the whole illusion of there being different groups completely disappears; for example, when the adminstrator of ERBL has a little discussion with her followers in INMR – Terry Innes – and APTNFU – “Rainblow Buttmonky”.  You’ll note a complete lack of irony in “Buttmonky” – an associate of the Aryan Nation – commiserating with Tittler about her “Brown Shirt” characterization.

20gerry new innes.buttm

This is the kind of discourse that ERBL is building it’s “political group” on; not petitions, but an amplifying of hatred and prejudice:

21 INMR - INNES

But happily, the arrogance of the principals of these groups leaves them telling more about themselves than they actually realize.  Here “Singfreid VanderKunt” expresses love for ERBL – and is answered enthusiastically as “Butt”.  Rainblow Buttmonkey is a friend of the admins for ERBL – and the prime administrator of the hateful APTNFU; Mickey lets us know that they’re one and the same person.22erbl sing-hump your leg

Here’s how all those connections fall out.  It’s worth noting the obvious firewall that both Gerry Gagnon and Wayne Naylor have put up between their main groups; their personal pages – and their widespread and enthusiastic participation with the haters.  It’s also worth noting that these concentrations of ERBL and INMR principals with representatives of various hate groups can occur on people’s personal pages who might not be aware of the larger connections at all – but may be influenced by the comments of the coordinated group:

023hater friendslist final 1

023hater friendslist final 2

Their influence can be insidious:  as simple as “liking” an incitement to violence.

24gerr aptn - take up arms

Any excuse can serve as a pretext for a coordinated attack; an amplification of prejudice and hatred: APTNFU starts the roll; ERBL supports it.

25aptn -erbl support

And information is shared between the groups.  Here APTNFU hands out a wrong address for one of its opponents.  Given the backgrounds of the people in APTNFU ( of which; more later) the intent to threaten is quite clear:

26aptnfu maw address

The long-term participation of the APTNFU coterie in the activities of both ERBL and INMR presents important questions about the goals of those organizations.  The backgrounds of the APTNFU people – and their ultra-racist tendencies – are part of the public record.  Their regular interactions with ERBL are clearly troublesome for any legitimate political organization – or legitimate political activist.  Note how Gerry Gagnon always seems to be the front man when dealing with these people:

027hater friends list final 1

027hater friends list final 2

Not that Michele is in any way shy of them.  It’s clear they have a regular and friendly relationship – until their eventual – and very public – breakup. Since the break-up, however, Gerry continues to exert his influence and friendship with them to this day: ERBL continues to exert influence even though there has been a public break.28erbl mtgordie

And as the haters move on to new fashions in hate campaign, Michele simply moves on with them:  spreading international hate memes; Michele approves and doubles down with some free-form derogation.

29MT to AC AntiIslam

It’s all very homey.  Quite comfortable if one was unaware of the Aryan connection; the Auschwitz photos; the seriously disturbed imagery which is a constant on some personal pages.

30 gerr likes jody

For Gerry, there is apparently no form of hate which would prevent his becoming the friends of a social media activist: “Anti homosexual”; “Anti communist”; “Stop islamization”.  As long as they’ll occasionally serve the ERBL anti-native agenda, their other preferences for hate are immaterial.

31 ger like jody issel.

And the grotesqueness of their opinions are also not important – so long as they’ll join in with the online savaging of an online commentator or the skewing of a comment thread to their own particular goal.

32 arnie hate

“Gerry Gagnon likes this”

33 gerr like arnie

And Arnie’s continuing attempts at humour pretty much solidifies the view of these folks as an ideological cohort.  The quiet Gerry Gagnon – with his firewall against the haters – finds himself quite comfortable in their company.  Is it simple opportunism – or is it simply that he shares their feelings?  You’d never know if you were simply to pay attention to his personal page – or his public statements.

The firewall is clearly there to serve as a camouflage for Gerry’s true activities:34Claire, Singfried like Arnie

Though he is as easy to bait as the others by folks like Clair Voyant; deeply involved in the APTNFU crew; and a militant extremist.

35 gerr like clair.

It’s all good fun: a topless anti-Muslim demonstration; a cheery anti-Muslim poster; a seriously off-colour anti-Native joke. Gerry regularly demonstrates his common feeling with many of these extremists.  He positively haunts their personal pages.

36 Gerr likes gionet

Though Michele tries to match his quiet activism, her laser-like concentration on herself leaves her largely oblivious to the actual dialogue taking place.

37Innes no in Genes

And what a dialogue it is!  Wayne Naylor calling for the PERMANENT removal of Pam Palmater:38 Naylor Incite

Terry Innes calling for “Lethal Force”:

39 innes gangs

And calling for “Lethal Force” in a public forum while being quite free with his personal information; quite obviously unconcerned with any public authority’s response to his clear hate-speech – or his employer’s for that matter:

40 innes ID

These folks are so very comfortable with their public roles:40 jody and Sing love hatchet

And very protective of their own rights – while trying to take away the rights of others:41 hatchet

It’s hard to say which of Hatchet’s pictures got thrown off Facebook: his friends clearly can’t understand Facebook’s delicacy:

Likely, though, it’s this one:42 hatchet

Though there’s a good chance it’s this one – and just as clearly, the friends of this person have no problem with his humour.43 hatchet

What’s clear is that ERBL – and Gerry Gagnon – regularly engage with these folks – and have a friendly and collegial relationship with them.  When we look again at the matrix, the message is quite clear: there is much more to ERBL than meets the eye; and they seem to have no compunction at all about working in the most devious and back-handed ways.

044hater friends list final 1

044hater friends list final 2

So let’s look again at ERBL’s unassuming, corporate message to it’s followers – and then to it’s allies and associates.  If you want to know what their true agenda is – it’s worth looking at the folks they’re working with; and it’s a shocking crew of extremists.

45 MT- solicitation letter

As previously described in Valentine to  Tittler, ERBL’s “political work” has been inconsequential; they – and especially Gerry – have been concentrating on building their ties with the worst racist hate groups in Western Canada.  What, then, is the plan for the money that they are so assiduously raising?
