00:00:00.000 Hello, my rebels. In today's podcast, I take you through various passages, about a dozen passages,
00:00:05.660 from the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruling against Jonathan, a.k.a. Jessica Yaniv,
00:00:13.620 the trans-extremist who kept demanding that immigrant women wax his cojones. 1.00
00:00:21.080 It's quite a ruling. Unbelievable, the things they say about him. Better late than never, 1.00
00:00:28.580 of course, the Human Rights Tribunal was complicit in his persecution of these women.
00:00:34.260 Before I get out of the way and let you get to the podcast, please consider becoming a premium
00:00:37.660 subscriber. You get the video version of the show. Oh, boy, we show you some clips of Yaniv in full
00:00:44.780 flight today. You know what? You got to get the video version. You just got stuff. You can do that
00:00:50.340 at premium.rebelnews.com. It's eight bucks a month, a bargain at twice the price. All right, folks,
00:00:56.040 here's the podcast. Tonight, the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal smashes Jonathan Yaniv, the fake woman 0.99
00:01:17.660 who insisted real women wax his gear. I'll take you through their decision. It's October 25th,
00:01:24.540 and this is the Ezra Levant. Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I
00:01:31.500 know? There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer. The only thing I have to say
00:01:37.240 in the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:01:47.200 The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal is probably the worst human rights tribunal in the country,
00:01:53.820 and I've studied them. They're all bad. I was taken before the Alberta Human Rights Commission
00:01:58.520 for publishing some cartoons. The Federal Human Rights Commission literally sent their own staff
00:02:03.620 to join neo-Nazi groups, where they posted hundreds of racist comments. I mean, they're abominable.
00:02:11.360 I remember when I was writing my best-selling book about all these commissions called Shakedown,
00:02:15.880 I encountered this one case in B.C. involving a McDonald's restaurant, where an employee said
00:02:21.280 she suddenly couldn't wash her hands. A McDonald's employee. She just said she couldn't. 0.99
00:02:27.960 And McDonald's actually took her to an allergist and took her to a dermatologist and tried to help
00:02:33.360 her. Look, there's simply no way to work at a fast-food restaurant without washing your hands. 1.00
00:02:39.380 So they gave her a nice severance and said goodbye, but she took them to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal,
00:02:47.140 and they said that McDonald's was discriminating against her, that she had the human right not to
00:02:54.640 wash her hands. I swear to God. And she won 50 grand. And more than that, the Human Rights Tribunal
00:03:02.440 actually ordered McDonald's not to force anyone else to wash their hands in the same circumstances. 1.00
00:03:08.120 Now, I am certain that McDonald's ignored those idiots, but that is how dumb the Human Rights Tribunal 1.00
00:03:16.420 is in B.C. But even those moron, even those kangaroo courts, even those jokes, those unjust clowns, 1.00
00:03:29.160 even they have their limits. And their limit was reached by Jonathan Yaniv, a man who now calls himself 1.00
00:03:35.200 Jessica Yaniv, who tweets about having his period, his menstrual cycle, and things like that.
00:03:43.600 I don't think he's crazy. I think it's an act, a pervy act, to access women's change rooms, where he takes
00:03:54.700 photos, a pervy act to get access to naked teenagers, who he invites to swimming pool parties, and most
00:04:04.800 grossly, where he books appointments with estheticians who are used to giving women bikini waxes, and he books
00:04:12.460 his appointments as a woman, pretending to be a woman, claiming to be a woman. Then he shows up as a man
00:04:18.580 and insists that they wax them, and that they touch him, and do to him what he wants. And often, by the
00:04:24.980 way, those estheticians happen to be immigrant women working from home. He literally comes to their house,
00:04:30.260 and he does this again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
00:04:34.520 and again, and when they say no, he demands money from them. He sues them at, you guessed it, the BC Human
00:04:41.480 Rights Tribunal. I mean, if you get 50 grand for not wanting to wash your hands as a McDonald's employee,
00:04:49.060 for the human right not to have to wash your hand before touching a hamburger, why not? I mean, it's not
00:04:55.180 like he has to pay for anything. It's all governed, all covered by the government, and they do say he has
00:05:01.180 a right because they're discriminating against him on the basis of gender identity. He says he's not a
00:05:07.180 woman. He said he's a woman, excuse me. He's not, but he says he is. He says he's a trans woman, and he
00:05:14.700 says that's the law now. So he took all these women to the BC Human Rights Tribunal, and he managed to get
00:05:21.560 them prosecuted, to let him prosecute them in secret, as in, he got to hide his name. He actually
00:05:32.380 played the victim. He claimed he was in danger, so he managed to get a publication ban on his own
00:05:39.040 lawsuits, so he could continue to go out there and harass and entrap other women. This happened.
00:05:46.520 Well, it also happened that he finally got the ruling from the BC Human Rights Tribunal,
00:05:52.500 and he lost, and it is glorious. Now, I say again, this is still a kangaroo court. It is still a farce,
00:06:01.060 a clown show. This is the Human Rights Tribunal member, Devin Cousineau, who heard the case. She is a
00:06:08.660 cookie-crazy nut herself. She's a radical herself, who has issued extremist rulings in cases very much like 0.87
00:06:14.960 this one before, in favor of Morgaine Ogre, a well-named trans extremist from BC. So this Human
00:06:22.040 Rights Tribunal kook is out there all the way, but Jonathan Yaniv was just a bridge too far,
00:06:27.680 so I would like to go through the ruling of this kangaroo court, the BC Human Rights Tribunal,
00:06:33.380 as written by the chief kangaroo herself, Devin Cousineau, because you've got to be like a 10th degree
00:06:39.260 black belt in the crazy department for even Devin Cousineau to say you've gone too far.
00:06:46.520 But we know that. We've seen Yaniv and his crazy mom attack our own David Menzies, too. Just nuts. 0.91
00:06:55.640 So the ruling is out. Yaniv had taken all these estheticians to the Human Rights Tribunal,
00:07:04.760 and he lost. And he has to pay each of the estheticians $2,000 for his harassment of them.
00:07:11.520 That's very, very rare in human rights land. Normally, nuisance suits are unpunished, because
00:07:16.240 really, they're all nuisance suits at the Human Rights Tribunal. What do you think that McDonald's
00:07:20.480 thing was? But this was so deeply damaging to the Human Rights Tribunals themselves, to their
00:07:25.040 reputation themselves, to show the world that they could be hijacked in this way. This was really
00:07:29.820 about self-preservation by the BC Human Rights Tribunal. So that's how it ends. He lost. But
00:07:35.380 let me tell you how the ruling begins. Here's the very first paragraph in this 60-page ruling. See,
00:07:42.000 Yaniv isn't just the crazy one. So is the tribunal. Let me read it to you.
00:07:45.340 Jessica Yaniv is a transgender woman. All of the respondents operate businesses which offer
00:07:52.860 waxing services. Miss Yaniv requested waxing services from each of the respondents. In five
00:08:01.220 cases, she requested waxing of her scrotum. In two, she requests waxing of her arms or legs. In each 0.94
00:08:08.400 case, she told the respondent that she was a transgender woman, and the respondent refused to
00:08:13.040 provide Miss Yaniv with service. Miss Yaniv says that this refusal to serve her is discrimination
00:08:19.460 on the basis of her gender identity and expression, in violation of Section 8 of the Human Rights
00:08:24.320 Code. Okay, let's start. It's Jonathan. It's not Jessica. I suppose we can call ourselves whatever
00:08:33.740 we want to. It's a free country. I can call myself the King of Spain and insist that you call me
00:08:39.560 Your Highness. But imagine writing all this with a straight face. In five cases, she requested waxing
00:08:49.560 of her scrotum. That's like saying in five cases, the fish requested that its wings be waxed. See, 0.93
00:08:59.880 the thing is, fish don't have wings, even if they desperately want them. And women don't have, 1.00
00:09:05.160 I'm sorry to get biological here, they don't have the male gear. And if the Human Rights Tribunal 0.56
00:09:12.640 pretends that they do, she, her scrotum, sorry, how is that any less nutty than Yaniv? Any less a group 0.99
00:09:23.300 of con men than he is? Well, the answer is in the very last sentence I quoted you in that very first
00:09:30.620 paragraph. Miss Yaniv says that this refusal to the server is discrimination on the basis of her 0.99
00:09:37.080 gender identity and expression in violation of Section 8 of the Human Rights Code. And you know, 0.98
00:09:42.340 that's right. If you pass a law that says people have to provide a service to someone, regardless of
00:09:50.080 their gender identity and expression, if you seriously make that the law, then how is what Yaniv did
00:09:56.300 crazy? I mean, sex is biological. It's a DNA thing. It's a genes thing. You're a man or you're
00:10:02.660 a woman. There are only two options. And it's not a matter of opinion. Gender used to simply mean the
00:10:07.820 expression of that sex, girlish things, boyish things. It was really a synonym for sex. But gender
00:10:13.260 identity and gender expression, that's just what you say you are or what you pretend you are.
00:10:19.780 That's not inherent. I don't think anyone in the world would actually think Yaniv is a woman. And
00:10:27.560 the fact that he's still got his twig and berries says he's not really even pretending that hard,
00:10:32.100 is he? He's just a pervy guy who wants strange women to have to touch his junk. So Yaniv is crazy, 1.00
00:10:39.740 or actually not crazy. I take that back. He's cunning. Here's a weirdo who gamed the system. He 0.79
00:10:47.220 couldn't get a date as a man. He couldn't get a woman to touch him. So he just called himself a
00:10:52.900 woman and demanded that estheticians touch him or face an extortionate lawsuit. 25 years ago,
00:10:58.520 that would get a guy beaten up by the woman's brother or husband or father, and maybe the police
00:11:04.260 would come around. But it's 2019 now. And if the police come around now, it's to arrest the
00:11:09.240 estheticians for being an anti-trans bigot. I mean, Yaniv is gross, but it's the human 0.96
00:11:17.080 rights tribunal who forced these women through a trial. Who's the bigger weirdo? Now, you'll know 0.97
00:11:23.080 that Yaniv and his mother are pathological liars. They're grifters. Let me give you just one 1.00
00:11:27.160 example of a fact upon which I base my opinion. You know he pretends to be disabled, too, right?
00:11:34.020 Here he is on a mobility scooter, threatening one of our reporters, of course.
00:11:38.760 Sorry, that was another reporter. He threatens our reporter in this clip. And here he is getting on a
00:12:07.280 disabled a transit bus.
00:12:10.520 I'm just asking you a question.
00:12:13.860 Yeah.
00:12:14.040 Come in. You will be shot. 1.00
00:12:16.440 You station. You will be shot. 1.00
00:12:18.920 You are harassing me. 0.98
00:12:20.440 It's not, it's not helpful.
00:12:21.060 You are harassing me.
00:12:21.540 No, I'm not harassing you. I'm just asking you a question.
00:12:24.520 Okay, we see you on call.
00:12:25.840 Okay, let, let, let, let, let, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's get in here.
00:12:28.780 Okay.
00:12:29.640 Is there, is there a really helpful...
00:12:32.280 So, um, he pretends to be disabled, but here he is, running like a bull. 0.99
00:12:41.660 Viewers of this space have noticed footage in which, uh, Jonathan Yaniv is breaking into, uh, a trot that resembles tryouts for the 100-meter dash.
00:12:52.680 Well, which is it?
00:12:57.480 Is he disabled?
00:12:59.300 Of course not.
00:13:00.460 And he's not a gal either.
00:13:02.760 Is he disabled? 0.99
00:13:03.780 No, he's, he's just fat. 0.98
00:13:05.280 I'm fat too, but I don't need wheel trans. 1.00
00:13:08.520 It's a scam to get free transit without having to pay for a taxi. 0.98
00:13:12.300 He's a schemer and a scammer, and so is his weird mom.
00:13:16.120 So here's what the Human Rights Kangaroo Court said. 0.70
00:13:19.260 I found aspects of Miss Yaniv's testimony to be disingenuous and self-serving.
00:13:26.620 In cross-examination, she was evasive and argumentative and contradicted herself.
00:13:32.700 Oh, you think, you think.
00:13:34.980 Let me read a little bit about how this predator works.
00:13:37.520 I'm going to read to you, and this is just a short excerpt, believe you me, this is 60 gross pages long, and I read the whole thing.
00:13:44.560 I'm just going to read you a short excerpt about how Yaniv targeted one particular woman, a Sikh immigrant woman, who didn't want to wax men.
00:13:55.180 The woman's name is Sandeep Benipal.
00:13:57.040 Let me read.
00:13:58.720 Miss Benipal operates a salon business from a small room in her home. 0.75
00:14:03.180 During business hours, she is alone in the home with her children.
00:14:06.860 She testified that she runs this business to earn some extra money to support her children.
00:14:11.180 I'm going to pick this up midway through this part of the ruling.
00:14:15.620 It goes on for quite a bit. 0.97
00:14:17.180 Miss Benipal assumed that male parts meant penis and scrotum. 1.00
00:14:21.980 She has not been trained to wax a scrotum and said that the request made her feel nervous and uncomfortable. 0.86
00:14:28.960 During the hearing, she testified that she felt uncomfortable just talking about it, and her discomfort was apparent.
00:14:34.800 She told Miss Yaniv,
00:14:35.840 Two days later, Miss Yaniv approached Miss Benipal again.
00:14:44.000 This time, she used a Facebook account with the name Jessica and a picture showing a person wearing makeup with longer blonde hair, which she found on the Internet.
00:14:54.340 These details would support an assumption that Jessica was a woman. 0.92
00:14:57.720 She asked Miss Benipal whether she offered Brazilian waxes, and Miss Benipal said that she did.
00:15:02.780 Miss Yaniv then asked whether Miss Benipal would provide the service while she was on her period, pressing her to agree to work around the string of a tampon. 0.99
00:15:13.500 While I found her to be evasive on this issue, Miss Yaniv acknowledged that she was not menstruating and would not have required Miss Benipal to work around a tampon.
00:15:21.860 Rather, she testified that the purpose of asking this question was to test Miss Benipal's professionalism and to see if this was a legitimate business. 0.65
00:15:29.780 I do not accept that explanation.
00:15:33.160 If Miss Yaniv were genuinely curious about the legitimacy of Miss Benipal's business, she could have asked questions related to training, licensing, facilities, or other matters relevant to the business.
00:15:43.060 At this point, she had already been refused service and was using deception to gather more information for some other purpose.
00:15:49.460 In an unrelated Facebook post, Miss Yaniv said publicly that the funniest thing is asking an immigrant for a tampon. 1.00
00:15:57.240 They freak out, laugh out loud.
00:15:59.620 In my view, the most likely scenario, said the judge, is that Miss Yaniv was trying to make Miss Benipal feel uncomfortable or awkward for her own amusement or as a form of revenge.
00:16:09.740 This is consistent with Miss Yaniv's behavior in relation to all of the respondents. 0.98
00:16:14.380 So he's a liar, he's a trapper, he's a hunter, he's a deceiver. 1.00
00:16:21.320 He's obviously some sort of perv in the sense that he wants to trick this immigrant Sikh woman into touching his junk. 1.00
00:16:27.800 Despite her clear objection to doing so, and the fact he used a fake photo to try and trick her into letting him in her home. 0.99
00:16:34.760 And the grossest part of this is that he managed to hijack the BC Human Rights Tribunal to be a part of this scheme.
00:16:40.260 The fact that they would eventually, after worldwide media, after many months, finally rule against him as little consolation.
00:16:48.700 Miss Benipal was put through this whole thing.
00:16:51.800 Look, he did this again and again and again.
00:16:54.300 There are so many instances, I'm not going to read you all six, there's 60 pages of this.
00:17:00.040 60 pages of him brutalizing these women.
00:17:04.280 Frankly, he belongs in jail.
00:17:05.920 A men's jail, not a women's jail. 0.99
00:17:08.000 Let me stop you. 0.95
00:17:10.100 Let me give you an example of his deception.
00:17:11.720 It's with another immigrant woman who worked from home while taking care of her kids.
00:17:15.820 He sure knew how to pick them.
00:17:18.140 Yaniv sent a picture of himself as a man and started harassing her and then this, let me quote.
00:17:23.860 So, Miss Yaniv responded, excuse me, and sent a photograph of herself in a pink baseball cap with makeup on saying, this is me.
00:17:34.240 This was clearly a different person than she originally represented was coming.
00:17:39.220 Miss Da Silva called her husband to tell him what was happening and that she found it suspicious.
00:17:44.140 He told her not to take the appointment if she felt unsafe.
00:17:47.560 At this point, she decided that she did not feel comfortable keeping the appointment.
00:17:50.720 She said, sorry, I don't have a problem, but I don't do it.
00:17:54.980 Miss Yaniv responded, why not?
00:17:56.980 And Miss Da Silva answered that her husband would not allow her to.
00:18:01.000 So, this weirdo, Yaniv, was endlessly texting.
00:18:04.140 Texting and then sending one picture of herself and then another picture.
00:18:07.640 Different people.
00:18:09.080 What woman would let such a creep, such a stalker into her home, demanding to get naked? 0.91
00:18:15.160 Where the hell are the police here?
00:18:16.760 There are so many cases, each of which involve Yaniv tricking or trapping, deceiving immigrant women, and then verbally abusing them, threatening them, and then suing them.
00:18:29.280 Reading it made me think of someone abusing animals.
00:18:33.820 The sheer cruelty of it, that they took delight from the cruelty.
00:18:37.080 That's what I thought of when I read how Yaniv abused these women.
00:18:41.000 I thought, here's a guy, it feels like he's abusing animals.
00:18:45.060 He was abusing people, which is much worse.
00:18:48.720 Here's what the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal said about this.
00:18:51.120 I find that Miss Yaniv's predominant motive in filing her waxing complaints is not to prevent or remedy alleged discrimination,
00:19:01.840 but to target small businesses for personal financial gain.
00:19:06.020 In many of these complaints, she is also motivated to punish racialized and immigrant women based on her perception that certain ethnic groups, 1.00
00:19:13.900 namely South Asian and Asian communities, are taking over and advancing an agenda hostile to the interests of LGBTQ plus people.
00:19:22.580 I reach this conclusion based on a number of factors.
00:19:25.740 A. The volume of similar complaints and the profile of the respondents.
00:19:29.820 B. Miss Yaniv's use of deception to manufacture some of these complaints. 1.00
00:19:35.840 C. Miss Yaniv's efforts to punish the respondents. 0.78
00:19:39.160 D. Miss Yaniv's stated desire to resolve all of her complaints for a financial settlement
00:19:44.740 and her pattern of withdrawing complaints in the face of opposition. 0.98
00:19:48.140 And E. Miss Yaniv's animus towards certain racial, religious, and cultural groups. 0.98
00:19:54.280 Yeah, he's a scammer. 0.53
00:19:56.840 Miss Yaniv. 0.57
00:19:58.340 Let me read some more.
00:20:00.040 Miss Yaniv filed 13 very similar complaints within a four-month time span.
00:20:05.940 So being a scammer is pretty much a full-time job.
00:20:09.660 We know that.
00:20:11.240 This is such a gross ruling, though, to read it all. 0.98
00:20:14.520 Yaniv is so gross. 0.99
00:20:16.240 His gross mother makes appearances in it, too. 0.99
00:20:19.160 She was a witness for him, though the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal says her information was largely irrelevant and useless. 0.96
00:20:25.880 Remember her, the weird mum? 0.96
00:20:27.740 Go away from my face before I stop you. 1.00
00:20:37.540 Go away.
00:20:38.840 Jessica, would I be able to ask you a few questions?
00:20:41.400 Would you be able to...
00:20:42.080 Do you have any...
00:20:42.960 Go away. 0.77
00:20:43.960 Go away.
00:20:45.120 Do you have any weapons on you?
00:20:46.260 Go away. 0.85
00:20:47.440 Hey, don't touch me.
00:20:48.320 Don't touch me. 0.57
00:20:49.280 Yo, go away. 1.00
00:20:50.360 Don't touch me. 0.91
00:20:51.320 Get out. 0.86
00:20:51.640 Stay away from me.
00:20:52.360 This is private property. 0.88
00:20:54.020 You go away.
00:20:55.080 Chill, lady.
00:20:56.060 Private property.
00:20:57.180 Do you have any weapons on you?
00:20:58.440 Get out.
00:20:59.060 Peppers.
00:20:59.920 I'm wondering...
00:21:00.560 I will show you.
00:21:01.480 Do you think that...
00:21:01.840 In a minute.
00:21:02.900 Do you think... 0.59
00:21:03.300 So gross. 0.99
00:21:03.960 They're both so crooked. 0.99
00:21:05.180 But they managed to get the tribunal to let them operate in secrecy.
00:21:10.320 Let me read to you a little bit about that from the ruling.
00:21:12.980 The publication ban enabled Ms. Yaniv's misconduct in filing these complaints by allowing her to 1.00
00:21:19.420 file such a high volume of complaints with no public accountability.
00:21:23.360 By seeking the tribunal's protection, at the same time as she was actively engaging online
00:21:28.660 on these same issues, she undermined the integrity of the very order she had sought.
00:21:33.440 I find, therefore, that circumstances have changed since I concluded in mint tanning that
00:21:37.900 Ms. Yaniv's representations did not prejudice the integrity of the tribunal's process.
00:21:43.040 I now find that these misrepresentations were improper.
00:21:45.960 So Yaniv lied to the tribunal to get them to put a publication ban over everything he
00:21:51.520 was doing.
00:21:52.380 But then he used that secrecy given to him by the government to harass a dozen women. 0.99
00:21:58.040 Like I say, he's super gross. 0.99
00:22:00.400 His mom's super gross. 1.00
00:22:01.960 But they were both completely enabled by this government tribunal that is the grossest of 0.98
00:22:08.420 them all.
00:22:09.520 Absolutely.
00:22:10.600 This is on them, too, despite their Johnny-come-lately ruling.
00:22:14.980 Now, let me give a shout out to our friends at the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedom.
00:22:20.880 You know, John Carpe's group, they intervene as lawyers for a bunch of the immigrant estheticians
00:22:26.500 here.
00:22:26.940 And Yaniv immediately panicked.
00:22:28.840 He abandoned some of his complaints just to get the lawyers out of the room.
00:22:32.780 Anyone the Justice Center worked for, he dropped his complaints against them.
00:22:36.420 And then he applied to kick those lawyers off the case for the remaining clients.
00:22:40.800 He was obviously terrified of fighting real men, real lawyers.
00:22:44.140 He prefers to threaten immigrant women in private.
00:22:48.420 Let me read some more.
00:22:49.080 Early on in this process, Miss Yaniv withdrew two of her complaints after the JCCF was retained
00:22:56.040 as counsel.
00:22:57.580 Various waxing salons at paragraph 9.
00:23:02.080 In doing so, her express purpose was to remove Mr. Cameron as counsel.
00:23:07.920 Mint Tanning at paragraph 15.
00:23:09.800 She later applied unsuccessfully to have Mr. Cameron remove his counsel for the represented
00:23:13.940 respondents and barred from appearing in front of this tribunal.
00:23:18.140 She has ultimately been compelled to face him in these complaints after I denied all applications
00:23:24.040 to have him removed and found that her pattern of withdrawals was improper.
00:23:29.000 Just to be clear, the tribunal called Yaniv an extortionist.
00:23:34.540 Let me quote.
00:23:35.020 I have concluded that Miss Yaniv engaged in improper conduct by filing these complaints for an improper 0.98
00:23:43.400 purpose, misleading the tribunal in respect of the publication ban, being untruthful with
00:23:50.080 respect to a central aspect of her complaint, engaging in extortionate behavior, and making 0.95
00:23:57.980 scurrilous attacks on Mr. Cameron in the JCCF. 0.99
00:24:03.080 Jonathan Yaniv is a pathological liar and a scammer. 0.99
00:24:06.000 I don't care if you call him Jonathan or Jessica or him or her. 1.00
00:24:09.480 He's an extortionist either way.
00:24:11.580 So is his mother.
00:24:13.280 By the way, his mother calls him him.
00:24:15.420 Even she can't remember the scam.
00:24:18.880 Yaniv terrorized women across Vancouver with impunity, aided by this same kangaroo court. 0.80
00:24:25.520 It's only because they were embarrassed, too, that they turned on him.
00:24:29.020 They actually were his enforcers, his muscle.
00:24:32.520 They were the threat.
00:24:33.760 They were the stick.
00:24:35.040 They were the ones who actually kept his identity secret with the publication ban while he molested
00:24:40.140 other women, molested them legally. 0.99
00:24:42.280 I don't know if he actually molested them physically.
00:24:46.040 This human rights tribunal is to blame as much as anyone.
00:24:48.200 Only when the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms got involved did his scheme start to
00:24:52.540 fall apart.
00:24:53.120 Who knows who else was ground up by him before the JCCF saved the day.
00:24:58.440 And shame on all the fake feminists out there who were fine with all this, supporting a con 1.00
00:25:04.240 man instead of real women he was victimizing.
00:25:07.600 There's still unfinished business here.
00:25:10.260 He obviously committed the crime of assault and battery against our own David Menzies.
00:25:16.720 And he has yet to be charged with that crime, despite the fact that the RCMP have the footage.
00:25:22.580 Maybe now the BC Human Rights Tribunal itself calls Yaniv a con man, a liar, an extortionist.
00:25:28.340 Maybe now the police will be less cowardly and lay charges for the assault.
00:25:33.000 I won't hold my breath.
00:25:35.180 But for now, let the truth be known. 0.99
00:25:37.080 Jonathan Yaniv is a crook. 0.99
00:25:43.400 Stay with us for more. 0.99
00:25:44.560 Welcome back.
00:25:57.260 Well, you'll know that I've been madder than a snake that married a garden hose for almost
00:26:04.580 two months now, ever since some animal rights extremists had a home invasion-style raid on
00:26:13.880 a Hutterite farming colony in southern Alberta.
00:26:17.100 They invaded the property, 60 of them. 0.74
00:26:21.340 They occupied the turkey barns for hours.
00:26:25.940 As you can see, there was a great number of them.
00:26:27.800 The worst part was actually the response by the RCMP, who came and did not make any arrests,
00:26:37.700 but rather styled themselves as mediators between the criminals and the victims.
00:26:43.900 They actually assisted in negotiating some terms, including that the media would be given
00:26:51.300 access to make some political-style statement as if there was, like, an airplane hostage-taking,
00:26:58.060 hijacking.
00:26:59.300 And secondly, to actually approve and oversee the theft of five turkeys.
00:27:04.980 Now, the Hutterites are so gentle.
00:27:06.960 They said, well, take the Hutterites, take the turkeys as a gift. 0.96
00:27:09.920 The police oversaw the theft.
00:27:13.680 And Doug Schweitzer, the left-wing attorney general in Jason Kenney's government, gave speech
00:27:18.580 after speech about getting tough on rural crime but didn't do a bloody thing, until finally
00:27:23.840 this week, charges were laid, but only against four people.
00:27:30.360 And you saw with yourself there.
00:27:32.180 There were a great many people there, and police know their names.
00:27:36.720 Charged are three adults and one minor.
00:27:40.580 The three adults are Claire Buchanan of Calgary, 28, Kennedy Ray Herbert, 24, of Pinscher Creek.
00:27:46.640 And the most surprising thing, and something I'd like to focus on in today's segment,
00:27:52.500 is the fourth person to be charged, a 46-year-old man named Maxwell Ma,
00:27:59.860 who just happens to be an employee of Global News, a journalist.
00:28:08.100 And I say again, part of the hostage shakedown extortion deal was that Global News be given
00:28:17.960 access to these protesters.
00:28:19.740 So it was an inside job.
00:28:23.500 Joining us now via Skype from Northern Alberta to talk about this scandal is our friend Sheila
00:28:29.040 Gunn-Reed.
00:28:29.540 Sheila, I can't believe it that Global News had a journalist on the inside, or as you put it,
00:28:38.020 in your video, maybe the eco-terrorists had someone on the inside of Global, but either
00:28:43.260 way, the whole thing was a setup, and Global News was in on it from the beginning.
00:28:49.620 Yeah.
00:28:50.360 I don't know about you, but I always thought it was somewhat fishy that Global News was
00:28:56.640 the media outlet of choice for these protesters to contact and get down to the farm.
00:29:04.260 And the initial reporting came from Global News Calgary, so that was two hours away from
00:29:10.020 the farm.
00:29:10.560 And yet, Global News was Johnny on the spot there.
00:29:13.360 They were there right away, participating really in these terroristic hostage demands.
00:29:19.540 They held the farm hostage until Global News, of all news outlets, were allowed to wander through
00:29:26.820 the barn, just like the protesters.
00:29:31.120 And that was because Global News pretty clearly was tipped off about the protest by a Global
00:29:37.580 News employee who was in on the protest.
00:29:41.180 And Global News never mentioned that fact in any of their coverage up until the point that
00:29:49.220 charges were laid.
00:29:50.580 And because the names of the adults who were charged was announced, it was eventually going
00:29:55.940 to come out that a Global News employee was involved in this.
00:29:59.140 So they begrudgingly tell the world in the third to last sentence of their story.
00:30:05.620 As of right now, other than your video last night, I have not seen any other media identify
00:30:14.320 a global journalist as one of the accused terrorists.
00:30:18.040 Now, by the way, I'm using the word terrorist.
00:30:20.400 I've used the word hijack and hostage.
00:30:23.020 I believe those are accurate.
00:30:24.660 What's so frustrating is how minor the charges are.
00:30:28.500 There's a phrase in prosecuting, you can undercharge someone, you can overcharge someone.
00:30:33.960 And typically, police and prosecutors like to overcharge someone so they can maybe bargain
00:30:39.420 away.
00:30:39.860 If they slap them with everything imaginable, they can maybe do a deal or they can get the
00:30:44.520 person to plead guilty to lower charges.
00:30:46.220 Here, it's as if lazy Doug Schweitzer and his attorney general, his prosecutors, went for
00:30:53.640 the lowest charge possible to begin with.
00:30:56.320 One count of break and enter to commit mischief.
00:31:00.140 I don't see anything about theft.
00:31:02.260 I don't see anything about home invasion.
00:31:04.640 I don't see anything about extortion.
00:31:06.840 There's a part of our criminal code called criminal organizations that you can use to
00:31:11.100 bust up sort of a gang that's doing something for their criminal benefit.
00:31:15.520 None of those charges here.
00:31:17.420 And why just four people?
00:31:19.640 So there's a lot of questions that Attorney General Doug Schweitzer has to answer for.
00:31:25.440 There's a lot of questions the RCMP has to answer for.
00:31:27.720 But I'm just stunned that Global News had a journalist as part of this criminal act.
00:31:34.320 And apparently, he still works at Global News.
00:31:37.280 Yeah.
00:31:38.140 You know, I noticed the very specific wording that Global News used when they were reporting
00:31:43.140 on the fact that one of their employees was part of this home invasion.
00:31:47.140 And it wasn't that he was an employee of Global News.
00:31:50.300 It was that he is an employee of Global News Edmonton, as he remains an employee of Global
00:31:57.260 News Edmonton.
00:31:57.920 But you're so right about Doug Schweitzer.
00:32:00.060 He's been doing these town hall meetings all across the province, saying he's going to throw
00:32:05.080 the book at people who are committing rural crime and specifically this new genre of crime
00:32:14.820 that seems to be farm invasions and invading oil field sites.
00:32:19.240 So like workplace invasions that and in the case of this Hutterite farm, that also happens
00:32:24.780 to be their home.
00:32:25.640 But now when the rubber meets the road, when we can see how serious the new government is
00:32:32.480 about all this, they've severely undercharged these people, and they haven't charged any
00:32:37.560 of the organizers or the spokespeople.
00:32:40.060 They've sort of just charged the lowest hanging fruit here.
00:32:43.340 And I would suggest probably the people most likely to get off with a slap on their wrist,
00:32:48.640 including the minor that's involved in all of this.
00:32:50.960 Yeah.
00:32:51.080 I mean, we showed a moment ago how many people, there were 60 people, six zero.
00:32:56.520 Yeah.
00:32:56.880 And even in this picture alone, you can see a dozen people, all of them had trespassing,
00:33:07.300 all of them committing mischief, all of them engaging in extortion, all of them probably
00:33:12.920 breaking other health code or biohazard laws.
00:33:17.120 I'm not an expert on farm laws and laws regarding livestock, but you bring a bunch of snotty kids 1.00
00:33:23.940 into a turkey barn and you might theoretically, I mean, I understand from your reports that
00:33:29.660 every animal in that barn was later sold for slaughter with only one exception.
00:33:35.980 So obviously that didn't happen, but it was all at risk.
00:33:40.760 It's outrageous, the difference between the tough talk and the weak action by Doug Schweitzer.
00:33:45.700 But let's get back to global here.
00:33:48.940 I mean, I know a little bit about the TV business, not just from here at the Rebel,
00:33:52.660 but when I worked for Sun News, for global to have been on the spot, for them to have done
00:33:59.440 the news stories, probably a dozen people in that company would have known that one of their own
00:34:08.040 employees was part of this crime wave.
00:34:10.780 He himself knew.
00:34:13.740 He would have contacted the official global reporters.
00:34:18.020 He would have dealt with the global reporter and producer on the scene.
00:34:21.940 There's probably two or three people on the scene.
00:34:25.300 They surely would have talked to their more senior producers.
00:34:29.540 I bet they approved this
00:34:31.680 officially, and if not officially, they approved it by their conduct.
00:34:35.600 They ran with it, and they knew it was disreputable because they hid that.
00:34:42.620 They did not disclose that to their viewers.
00:34:45.860 So they knew it was wrong.
00:34:48.440 They knew it was immoral and surely illegal.
00:34:51.460 But they deceived their own viewers by pretending,
00:34:55.740 oh, we just happened to hear about this.
00:34:57.880 Oh, they just happened to demand that global be there to publish the demands of the hijackers
00:35:02.900 and hostage-takers, they were part of the crime themselves.
00:35:10.220 Global News should have been charged because the fruits of the crime also flowed to Global News.
00:35:17.640 They got the scoop.
00:35:19.260 Global News conducted themselves not just as a fake news organization,
00:35:24.320 but as a criminal organization.
00:35:27.760 Sheila?
00:35:28.020 Yeah, there's a lot of conspiracies going on here, aren't there?
00:35:32.680 There's one of the farm invaders, 0.99
00:35:36.880 but there's also the conspiracy of silence from Global News
00:35:40.600 to keep this information away from their viewership
00:35:44.780 until they absolutely couldn't keep a lid on it anymore.
00:35:48.060 And had Maxwell Ming Ma not ever been charged,
00:35:51.900 we wouldn't have known the extent to which Global News was involved in all of this.
00:35:56.140 You know what this reminds me of?
00:35:57.640 Remember when I went to Camp Cloud?
00:35:59.440 I was just thinking about this when you were talking.
00:36:01.340 When I went to Camp Cloud,
00:36:03.120 and that APTN reporter had embedded himself with the activists,
00:36:09.980 clearly acting as an activist,
00:36:12.300 and he came down to accost me as I walked up Burnaby Mountain to the encampment.
00:36:20.000 He never identified himself as a journalist.
00:36:22.780 He clearly didn't want me there.
00:36:25.520 But it's this sort of mainstream media overlapping.
00:36:29.460 They don't want to admit...
00:36:30.480 Look, I'm an activist.
00:36:31.700 I admit it.
00:36:32.840 They don't want to admit they're activists,
00:36:34.600 and then they don't divulge that information to their viewer.
00:36:37.760 There's just so much dishonesty that, I mean,
00:36:41.460 it's really no wonder that people can't trust the mainstream media.
00:36:45.420 Yeah, there's one more thing.
00:36:46.340 I mean, I was looking at when I saw the names of the three adults who were charged.
00:36:52.760 Obviously, I hopped on Google to see what their social media profile was.
00:36:57.080 And Claire Buchanan and Kennedy Ray Herbert are...
00:37:02.340 They're not super young, but they're women in their 20s, 0.99
00:37:05.000 and they look like vegan, animal rights people.
00:37:09.800 I mean, Claire Buchanan thinks she's a bit of an Instagram model or something. 0.99
00:37:15.920 It's actually pretty funny.
00:37:17.080 But you can see she's always hugging animals, wearing vegetarian shirts.
00:37:22.720 She's absolutely playing the part of the 20-something single vegetarian activist girl. 0.95
00:37:29.260 I mean, that's no big surprise that she's cannon fodder for this action. 1.00
00:37:34.080 And same with Kennedy Herbert, and obviously a 16-year-old girl too.
00:37:38.040 I'm not going to call them victims, although maybe the teenager is.
00:37:41.960 But the other two, they look the part.
00:37:44.140 And you've got all these 20-something and teenage girls, 0.72
00:37:47.000 and then you've got a 46-year-old man just happens to be in the mix?
00:37:52.480 I don't believe it.
00:37:54.200 Was he an organizer?
00:37:57.180 Was he paid?
00:37:59.380 Did he pay them for the scoop?
00:38:02.280 I just don't believe that a 46-year-old global news journalist from Edmonton
00:38:08.600 just happened to fall in with 20-something girls from Calgary and Pincher Creek
00:38:15.340 in a Fort McLeod home invasion-style robbery.
00:38:19.900 I don't believe it was just coincidence, and I don't believe he's a peer of theirs.
00:38:24.620 I believe he was some sort of a fixer or a boss or something more senior.
00:38:28.940 Yeah, I think it all goes back to the fact that, you know,
00:38:33.680 the coverage came from Global News Calgary about this event.
00:38:38.380 And the Hutterite Farm, chosen, they say completely at random,
00:38:44.600 I think chosen because they're Hutterites and they're pacifists, 0.84
00:38:47.240 and they won't fight back.
00:38:48.500 So if you're using young girls and malnourished women as cannon fodder, 0.97
00:38:52.860 the Hutterite Farm is a safe place to break the law.
00:38:57.720 It's all very strange how a news crew from two hours away
00:39:03.820 was able to be there right as the story happened.
00:39:07.540 You know, I've just looked up, while we're chatting here on my laptop,
00:39:12.640 the Edmonton Journal coverage, that's post-media CTV coverage.
00:39:16.500 They all mention Maxwell Ming-Ma's name.
00:39:18.780 None of them mention that he's with Global.
00:39:22.420 Now, maybe that's just lazy and they didn't type his name into Google.
00:39:26.840 But this, to me, is a scandal of the highest order from a journalistic point of view.
00:39:33.500 Yes, it's a crime.
00:39:35.020 Yes, it's eco-activism that has to be nipped in the bud.
00:39:39.080 I tell you, a lot of anti-oil sands extremists are watching how this is being treated.
00:39:45.980 And so far, the RCMP and Doug Schweitzer have failed.
00:39:49.600 But this is a journalistic crisis.
00:39:52.200 It's fake news, and it's a news organization hiding its role in manufacturing the news.
00:40:01.700 And I think that we need to do some digging here, Sheila, because obviously Canada's so-called media critics won't.
00:40:11.600 The company itself, using the present tense, Maxwell Ming-Ma is an employee at Global Edmonton.
00:40:17.320 Obviously, they're just tickety-boo with this.
00:40:19.660 They were fine with it the day before it was released in public.
00:40:22.500 In fact, they were colluding to keep it a secret.
00:40:24.860 This is a deep, deep rot.
00:40:27.200 And remember, Global also is affiliated with radio stations, Chorus Entertainment, CHQR, things like that.
00:40:35.740 So this is, I wonder if this is the first time that Global News has been part of a setup in manufacturing a fake news story.
00:40:45.660 How would we even know?
00:40:49.440 Yeah, the only reason we know is because charges were laid.
00:40:52.760 That's it.
00:40:53.320 If charges were never laid, we would never have known Maxwell Ming-Ma's relationship to Global News.
00:40:59.320 But the good news is that you and I aren't done with this story yet.
00:41:03.540 The accused, I suppose, have to make some appearances in court, and they're going to go to trial.
00:41:11.020 And we're going to be following that very, very closely.
00:41:13.280 Because there's a lot more information that needs to come out.
00:41:18.040 Now, whether or not it's going to come out, I suppose that's up to us to ask the hard questions.
00:41:22.300 But, yeah, this is very, very troubling.
00:41:26.320 And, you know, I noted in my video the difference in treatment that Global is getting when one of their people is charged for animal rights activism and trespass, break and enter.
00:41:37.480 Well, they didn't get charged with trespass.
00:41:39.260 Excuse me.
00:41:39.660 Just break and enter.
00:41:40.400 How differently it would have been if that were one of us that, you know, got charged with a crime or even got a speeding ticket and somebody found out.
00:41:50.900 CBC would lose their minds for a week and call us all not journalists.
00:41:54.140 They would call us all activists.
00:41:55.820 And yet Global News isn't getting any of that treatment, not even from the local news in Lethbridge and Pincher Creek.
00:42:02.180 Yeah.
00:42:02.400 I tell you, this is a disturbing story, and I do not think it's over.
00:42:05.840 I think we have to cover it in the court.
00:42:08.260 I want to hear what Maxwell Ming-Ma's role is.
00:42:10.940 I want to know if other global news people were in on it.
00:42:13.740 I want to know if he was an organizer.
00:42:15.500 Again, the fact that he's a 40-something-year-old guy hanging out with these young gals, I do not believe they were friends.
00:42:22.040 I believe that this was a project that was managed.
00:42:24.760 I believe he had a senior role, and the fact that he was charged, one of only four people to be charged, suggests that perhaps he had a senior role.
00:42:31.880 Maybe he himself was actually negotiating with the police.
00:42:35.140 We certainly won't learn the truth about this from Global News.
00:42:37.740 We'll have to find it ourselves.
00:42:39.260 You just can't trust a word the media party says, Sheila.
00:42:44.020 Last word to you.
00:42:45.500 Well, you did point out that, you know, we're going to have to find out this information in a court of law.
00:42:51.140 One, I think you and I are going to be fighting over which one of us gets to sit in that courtroom, because I'm curious about the interaction between Maxwell Ming-Ma and the global news journalists who will be reporting on the trial, because I'm sure they'll be there, too.
00:43:07.240 And I'll be there, or you'll be there to see it.
00:43:09.680 Yeah.
00:43:10.260 All right, Sheila.
00:43:10.940 Well, I'm glad you've been fighting for this.
00:43:12.280 I believe that a large part of the fact that these charges were finally laid, even though they were undercharged and too few people were charged, I think a large amount of credit goes to you for keeping the feet to the fire of the attorney general, that lazy liberal Doug Schweitzer, who really delayed for two months here.
00:43:32.340 I think your pressure is what pushed him over.
00:43:33.900 So good on you.
00:43:34.800 Let's keep up on this story, because you can't trust anyone else.
00:43:37.900 We will.
00:43:38.340 All right, take care, my friend.
00:43:39.180 And there you have it, Sheila Gunn-Reed, via Skype from Alberta.
00:43:42.280 Can you believe it?
00:43:44.120 How many other cases has global news cooked up the story and not told you that, not disclosed that?
00:43:51.360 I mean, it would be bad enough if they disclosed it, but they kept it secret from you, which meant they deceived you on purpose, which meant they knew what they were doing was unethical, and they just didn't care.
00:44:05.120 Stay with us.
00:44:05.880 More ahead on the run.
00:44:09.180 Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about America now being a net oil exporter and Quebec being one of the major customers.
00:44:21.720 Barb writes, Quebec, the province solely exists for whatever it can take from the rest of Canada and gives nothing back.
00:44:27.920 No surprise, they import the largest quantity of foreign oil.
00:44:31.220 Obviously, it's not all Quebecers.
00:44:35.620 Just like all Ontarians didn't vote liberal, and all of those who did don't hate the West, but Quebec's political class certainly knows how it all works.
00:44:44.360 I should point out that Quebec imports the most American oil, but New Brunswick and the Irving family, best friends of Dominique LeBlanc, the Liberal Party, they import the Saudi stuff, don't they?
00:44:54.980 Liz writes, we don't want to be Ottawa slaves for no return or have to pay for Quebec to stay in Canada.
00:45:03.660 See, that's the thing.
00:45:04.920 I mean, Quebec never really wanted out because they wanted out with bedroom privileges. 1.00
00:45:11.120 They invented that phrase, sovereignty association.
00:45:14.080 Well, which one is it, fellas?
00:45:15.100 When a real divorce happens, in the case of Czechoslovakia, both sides move apart pretty quick because they're resolved.
00:45:25.060 Quebec was playing a game.
00:45:27.140 As Lorne Gunter says, if the West chooses to go, they'll go quickly, although Brexit-style, I think the establishment will gum it up.
00:45:35.600 Ryan writes, what does the West need to do when the East doesn't want your oil?
00:45:40.080 You leave the country and sell it elsewhere, but the West needs a separation leader.
00:45:43.160 What about Ezra? I think he would be the best leader to get us out of this one-sided marriage we have with the East. 0.99
00:45:49.140 Listen, I'm very sympathetic, and I think what the rebel can be counted on to do is to host the debate, to be a house for conversation.
00:45:57.840 Because every other media outlet in Alberta is dominated by post-media, CBC, CTV, Global.
00:46:05.920 They're run out of Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, whatever.
00:46:08.940 And I guess we're based here in Ottawa, too, but we're not beholden to the establishment interests here.
00:46:15.160 Do you really think the CBC is going to give a sympathetic ear to Western independents?
00:46:20.620 Of course not.
00:46:21.240 They'll be smirching as bigoted.
00:46:23.320 They'll do a Warren Kinsella and badmouth them as bigots.
00:46:26.980 That's what they'll do.
00:46:27.640 I think the role of the rebel is to have a conversation and flush it out.
00:46:33.120 And you know what?
00:46:34.600 If even having that conversation and taking the steps down that road causes Canada to reform itself, well, then that's great.
00:46:42.380 I'm a skeptic.
00:46:43.480 I've lived through that before.
00:46:44.960 It didn't happen.
00:46:45.580 I think the rebel will be the only trustworthy news and opinion source on this subject.
00:46:53.080 All right, that's our show for today and for this week.
00:46:55.620 Until next time, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, you at home, goodnight.
00:47:00.000 Keep fighting for free.
00:47:00.880 Keep fighting for free.
