The Great George Galloway Hoax of 2009, Lab Test Result: Jawbone of Orang-Utang

Macleans Magazine: "Why is a self-described free speech hawk banning George Galloway from Canada?"

Immigration Minister Jason Kenney: "He’s not. I reject the premise of your question. Mr. Galloway received a preliminary notice of determination by the Canadian Border Services Agency that he might be inadmissible to Canada, I gather based in large part on his public admission that he provided funds to Hamas, a banned illegal terrorist organization, which would seem–on the face of it–to constitute grounds for inadmissibility under Section 34(1)f of the Immigration Refugee Protection Act. He was invited to provide submissions to the CBSA to inform their consideration of his potential application to enter Canada. He never provided them with any such submissions and he never presented himself to a point of entry where he would have had, at that point, a final decision on his admissibility, and had he been determined to be inadmissible by an officer at a port of entry he would have been able to apply for an inadmissibility hearing. So there’s a whole process that we have under our law to make determinations independently of politicians about admissibility. I simply said publicly that I would not use my extraordinary ministerial power to effectively overrule a decision of a CBSA officer on his admissibility. Why? Because I didn’t see any compelling reason. And by the way, this had nothing to do with freedom of speech, he exercised his speech in Canada, volubly, as he does everywhere. That was never the issue. The issue was not about what he might do or say in Canada, it’s what he did in making financial contributions to an organization that uses money to buy explosives and strap them to teenagers and send them into school buses and discos."

Told you so. Sorry, but even "by means of a telescope of vast dimensions and an entirely new principle," it would still be impossible to say, without repeating a lie, that George Galloway was banned from Canada, or barred from Canada, or denied entry to Canada. Paul McCartney is not dead, Charlies Manson never auditioned for the Monkees, and sorry, Olivia, but George Galloway is not an "international expert" on Afghanistan. Thank you, Martin, for pointing out that Elvis has left the building. Sorry, Canadian Peace Alliance, but your evidence for "dawn man" turns out to be merely the jawbone of an orang-utang. Sorry, delicate ladies of the bourgeoisie, but your prince is a toad.

And I won't be having any backchat along the lines of 'Well, Kenney would say that, wouldn't he?' or 'So, shilling for the Conservatives now, is it?' or 'That's just your opinion.' Because this is not a matter of opinion. These are matters of fact. Facts matter. This is about things that did not happen, and things that did happen, and to paraphrase George Orwell, "they did not happen any the less because the Daily Telegraph has suddenly found out about them when it is five years too late."

George Galloway is a fascist gasbag. A walking farrago of lies (Update: a 911 Truther, too?).

Have I enjoyed myself with all this? Yes, thanks, I have.
