		<description>Anthony, 
It is spelled &#039;Lesley&#039; but you&#039;d never know it from Dimension which spells it both ways.  (Lack of respect is apparent, no?) 6 out of 10 stars for Dimension for at least publishing Lesley&#039;s stuff.</description>

		<description>Good work Paul. Great community support Progressive Winnipeg. The Winnipeg activist community is great. People are starting to watch this story far beyond Canada.And so they should. Its far from over. Help raise up a fuss if you can. The introduction to my article, &quot;A Clash of Conspiracy Theories&quot;at 911 Blogger.com gives links to help give the history and context of the Hughes affair.
Cy Gonig posted my article at the Canadian Dimension web site. Is it Lesley or Leslie?
Basta!

		<description>73 percent of respondents in an online survey didn&#039;t agree that Hughes be canned.  I don&#039;t think it would had hurt her bid much at all.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t be churlish, Neville. It&#039;s an initial news report from Haaretz, a Jewish paper which is decidedly not in the business of pretending &quot;that the JOOOOOOOOOOOS were complicit in the 9/11 attacks&quot;. You could always try clicking the Haaretz link I provided above - it makes no mention of any &quot;anti-Semitic slur&quot;.</description>

		<description>Lesley sounds a lot like Jeremiah Wright and his conspiracies -- only not as mean. That&#039;s why she got canned.

I looked up the article in Ha&#039;aretz about the two, that&#039;s right -- two -- Ondigo workers who allegedly were warned of the attack. There was no copy of the message. It&#039;s pretty slim evidence isn&#039;t it. 

The one article that mentioned the content of the message claimed that it did not identify the World Trade Center as the attack target. Who knows what was going on here.

But for her to make so many extraordinary claims without any proof, does make her seem a bit odd. 

Mackenzie King was apparently, an anti-semite and believed that he could communicate with spirits spoke to spirits but that was&#039;t public information. Once this was out very few people would vote for Lesley. Her candidacy was ruined before she got cut.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;I have edited this comment for length and added a link to an article written by Lesley Hughes on Mr. James&#039; story. - PG&lt;/strong&gt; 
&lt;hr /&gt;
WWW.AARONJAMESSTORY.COM- WE ARE CANADIANS ATTACKED in the United States and placed through Extrajudicial (illegal/covert) persecution and ongoing threats and attempts upon our LIVES [ . . . ]
 
&lt;a target=&quot;blank&quot; href=&quot;http://canadiandimension.com/articles/2008/04/04/1739/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Lesley&lt;/a&gt; tried to give public notice to our account- National Post Globe and Mail and others HAVE CENSORED- WE SP0KE DIRECTLY TO STEPHAN DION IN WINNIPEG AT THEIR LIBERAL CONVENTION-he and his senior executive adviser Jean Luca Cairo promised us assistance-THEY LIED AND LEFT MY MOTHER AND I OUT IN THE COLD- Now 14 ATTEMPTS UPON OUR LIVES LATER we have been turned away by government who&#039;s U.S. affiliated monetary interests far outweigh and interests towards the sanctity of human life decency or compassion.  [ . . . ]

My 64 year old mother and my family continue to suffer while Dion and the rest of government turn the other way with deliberate media censorship designed to allow government the opportunity to work with the U.S. to carry about our abduction or murders under a veil of collusion and without the scrutiny of public knowledge- without warrant without charges and because we are exposing the draconian mechanisms of Post 9/11 based persecution and Orwellian corruption being cast upon society across the world exploiting the false war on terror in a sea of carnage and at the expense of human lives- for monetary and military interests alone-an abomination .  The Bush administration is currently under investigation for WAR CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY- google BUGLIOSI- he has appeared amidst hearings for the trials and denouncement of the Bush Admin with his book &quot;The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder&quot; and legal attorney Kuzinich is in full support of the indictment of the administration as a whole.  [ . . . ]
 
Look at the U.S atmosphere as it is today because of the FALSE WAR ON TERROR- removal of Habeus corpus, the Security Commissions Act, the removal of the 1st and 4 amendments which give the citizen protection against arbitrary search and seizure and in Canada the egregious security certificates persecution immigrants and scrutinizing them as &quot;potential terrorists&quot; in a violation of the charter of rights and freedoms as we formerly knew it.

Lesley Hughes like many notable civil rights activists and defenders of the oppressed (Martin Luther King, Ghandi, Malcolm X, Kennedy etc...) has now faced the insipid persecution of an establishment that would censor defame and ridicule motivated by the atrocities it must hide from public knowledge and scrutiny and the wickedness it conceals.  WE MUST ALL SUPPORT DEFENDERS OF LIBERTY AND TRUTH LEST WE SUCCUMB TO THE FACTIONS AND IDEOLOGIES OF DECADENCE OPPRESSION AND TYRANNY.

		<description>I guess the real question here is, is there any evidence that Israeli businesses did vacate the WTC before the attack?  It seems to me like something that one should definitely be able to prove or disprove.</description>

		<description>The mainstream media reports on the Stéphane Dion firing of Leslie Hughes, the former Liberal candidate in Kildonan--St Paul, fill all the offensive reporting criteria we have become, Oh so used to.  For example, instead of addressing the issues, the reporter Dan Lett, uses name calling tactics in his WFP, September 27 article titled, &quot;Altar of Google Ravenous for Sacrifices.&quot;  Dan Lett writes that Hughes has &quot;curious views&quot; and is a &quot;9/11 conspiracy theorist.&quot;  (Lett doesn&#039;t stop there, he takes a swipe also at Barrie Zwicker and those who question the &quot;official 9/11 conspiracy story of record&quot;, calling them &quot;infamous&quot;.  Lett, unlike Hughes and Zwicker, however, never addresses the as yet unanswered questions and unreported and under-reported information surrounding 9/11 which the mainstream media has so far meticulously ignored.  For doing her job as a journalist and reporting the news Hughes is now the victim of a smear campaign.  The WFP, or any other paper, should not be able to smear journalists reputations just because they report the facts people don&#039;t want to hear.

		<description>Alison, you fail to mention the message received by Odigo concluded with an anti-semitic slur and contained no specific information regarding the attacks. How this proves that the JOOOOOOOOOOOS were complicit in the 9/11 attacks is ridiculous. You&#039;ll have to try harder next time. This story, nonetheless, has been widely disseminated and embellished by Lesley Hughes&#039; fellow troofers at stormfront.org, davidduke.com, etc. etc. etc.</description>
