Topham trial has crown examining Radical Press website content AUTUMN MacDONALD Observer Reporter The 12-member jury in Arthur Topham’s case heard testimony last week from lead investigator for the BC Hate Crime Team, Terry Wilson. First crown questioned the witness, spending considerable time on a variety of literature on Topham’s website, www.radicalpress.com. One piece in particular, Israel Must Perish, was heavily quoted from. Topham, the author of Israel Must Perish, wrote a preface explaining his motivation for taking pen
to paper, or finger to keyboard. “What is contained herein is but a synopsis and partial review of the verbatim text of an actual book first published in the USA back in early 1941 when America was still a neutral country. That book, Germany Must Perish! was written by a Jewish writer by the name of Theodore N. Kaufman. Its exact proposals are those contained herein,” it reads. “As the reader will surmise from viewing the image of the back page of Kaufman’s book some of America’s most prestigious newspapers and maga-

zines were in full support of the objectives set down in this classic book of Jewish hate literature. Again, the reader is cautioned to bear in mind that I have changed the word “Nazi” to “Jew” in the quote from the Philadelphia Record as I have changed all the other words “German” and “Nazi” to “Jew” and “Zionist,” etc. “The striking thing about the vileness of the text is how, today, it seems to roll off the mind’s tongue as if it were as truthful and factual as the rising sun. As such I firmly believe that all of what the Zionist Jews write about others is
actually but a reflection of their own inner, perverse, dislocated self. By projecting outward onto others their innate paranoid and deep-seated hatred for the rest of the world they’re able to meet the requirements of the Israeli state’s motto which reads, “By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Cause War” and feel a sense of superiority and self-righteousness in doing so.” The full text can be found on Topham’s site. “If this book came across your desk, would you be concerned about its contents?” crown asked Wilson.

“Yes, we would definitely investigate,” he replied. Crown also questioned Wilson on a number of articles on the site, some authored by Topham, some not. Articles ranged from Topham’s views on WW1 as a planned event by Zionists, Jewish world leaders in control of banking systems and articles on free speech. Defence counsel Barclay Johnson, took the opportunity to cross examine noting the use of the word “book” for Israel Must Perish, “rather than a satirical article.” Johnson also questioned Wilson on his reasoning
for investigating Topham and his site. Wilson testified he did not move forward on the investigation until a complaint was filed to the Hate Crime Team. Prior to the complaint, Wilson said, they had looked at the website and decided not to investigate. Wilson also noted the complainant was known to him prior. Topham was arrested and his house searched in May 16, 2012 after it was determined “there were reasonable grounds the offence of promotion of hatred was committed.” Defence continues, check the Observer for updates.
