Former B'nai B'rith head admits downloading 9 hours of child pornography for "education"

Ex B'nai Brith head ashamed of child porn

Friday, October 29, 2010


The former director of B'nai Brith Quebec says he's ashamed he had pornographic videos on his computer, but Bill Surkis maintains he's not a sex offender.

Surkis, 71, has admitted to downloading nearly nine hours of videos of men engaged in sexual activity with girls, but said it was because he was curious.

At his sentencing hearing in a Quebec Superior Court in Montreal on Thursday Surkis's lawyer asked him how he would feel if his name were added to the national sex offender registry as the Crown is requesting.

The father and grandfather said he still has contributions to make to his community and he wouldn't be able to make them if he were registered.

The Crown and the defence are recommending Surkis be sentenced to 45 days in jail to be served on weekends, the minimum sentence allowed by law.

They're also recommending he be placed on probation for three years and do 240 hours of community service.

Explicit files were discovered on Surkis's computer when he took it in for repairs in 2008.

The technician contacted Montreal police who uncovered 21 videos and dozens of photos, including images of girls aged six to 13.

Surkis's lawyer said in November 2009 that the videos were downloaded for research reasons.

"The purpose of his viewing the child pornography material [was] to educate himself on the topic of child pornography," lawyer Steven Slimovitch told CBC News outside court. "Then he would go into schools and give lectures on people abusing people."

But, prosecutors argued in court that there was no evidence to back up that claim. Surkis had not been hired by anyone to research child pornography and had not begun work on a study, they said.

In May, Surkis agreed to a plea bargain. In return for pleading guilty to charges of possessing and accessing child pornography, Crown prosecutor Cynthia Gyenizse dropped a charge of distributing child pornography.

Surkis served as the academic dean at John Abbott College on Montreal's west island for 22 years. He also served as the executive director of the Holocaust Memorial Centre in Montreal.

Slimovitch provided the court with eight letters of reference on his client's behalf in which Surkis is described as honest, truthful, and a man of exemplary character.

Gyenizse said although Surkis may be at low risk to re-offend, she said the risk is not zero.

She said the court needs to send a message that when people do what Surkis did they help feed the child pornography industry, creating more child victims.

"Possession will help the people who produce child pornography to produce more because there's a demand for it so there's an industry for it," she said.

Judge Céline Lamontagne will hand down her sentence Dec. 9.

Purim-Shpiel 2009

"...whereas it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them."

The Shock and Awe campaign against Bishop Williamson and "Holocaust denial" which the rabbis whipped the mob into beginning January 21st was called off by Israeli Chief Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen at the Vatican on March 12th, the day after Purim. He said, "This was not just another meeting. This was a special experience, a turning point, the end of a crisis ..." ("Rabbis after pope meeting: Crisis over," Lisa Palmeri-Billig, Jerusalem Post, March 12, 2009)

When Rabbi Shear Yashuv Cohen said that his visit to the Vatican of March 11-12 (March 10-11 being Purim) marked a "turning point," he was alluding to the very essence of Purim itself--venahafoch hu--the turning around of circumstances; the "hippuch" or reversal of roles in the book of Esther.

But this is the story of Esther according to the lunatic rabbis where "Holocaust denial" is equated with complete annihilation. In Purim Shpiel 2009 Bishop Williamson was thrust into the role of Haman, Benedict XVI played King Ahasuerus and Rabbis Shear Yashuv Cohen and David Rosen were cast as Mordechai. "Holocaust Denial" served as the gallows pole which was turned from an instrument of "persecution" of "The Jews" into the instrument for Bishop Williamson and like-minded individuals to be hung from.

Indeed, the "threat" of "Holocaust denial" was turned around and made a "blessing." The pope decreed that "Holocaust denial" is unacceptable and he exalted the "Holocaust" idol as never before. Numerous bishops proclaimed that it's not possible to be Catholic if one "denies" "The Holocaust." Bishop Williamson's position as educator was terminated while "Holocaust studies" in Catholic schools received a huge boost. Rabbi Rosen said, "I hope a recommendation (from the pope on Holocaust studies in Catholic schools) will come out of this latest crisis. That will be a silver lining to the cloud." ("Jews ask pope for Holocaust studies in schools," Philip Pullella, Reuters, March 12, 2009)

And note that as King Ahasuerus rewarded Mordechai, so did Benedict reward the rabbis with thanks and praises, even while scorning Catholics:

"I was saddened by the fact that even Catholics who, after all, might have had a better knowledge of the situation, thought they had to attack me with open hostility. Precisely for this reason I thank all the more our Jewish friends, who quickly helped to clear up the misunderstanding and to restore the atmosphere of friendship and trust which – as in the days of Pope John Paul II – has also existed throughout my pontificate and, thank God, continues to exist. ("LETTER ON REMISSION OF EXCOMMUNICATION LEFEBVRE BISHOPS," Benedict XVI, March 10, 2009)

http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/letters/2009/documents/hf_ben-xvi_let_20090310_remissione-scomunica_en.html

This statement from the pope is bizarre given that his "Jewish" friends are on record as the ones who created the chaos and who only decided to end it on Purim after they'd received every concession they could have dreamed of.

I don't take it as a coincidence that this reversal of events came on Purim any more than it was a coincidence that the 1991 attack against Iraq ended on Purim or that the 2003 attack on Iraq began, in the words of George Bush's speech writers, "at a time of our choosing" which just happened to be Purim.

This 2009 Purim-Shpiel psychodrama/production perpetuated the hester panim gnosis deconstructed in Judaism Discovered which teaches that Judaism needs a certain amount of persecution for it's own advancement; it needs both Mordechai and Haman. Where persecution doesn't exist the illusion of persecution is created.

The notion that one bishop's non-acceptance of certain elements of received "Holocaust" lore could lead to genocide is patent idiocy, but through this and similar ruses the rabbis have maintained their control over 'klal Israel" and, with the assistance of the pope and bishops, managed to advance their assault on Christianity.

"The tree [Haman] had prepared for Mordechai's hanging became his own gallows, and so on throughout the Megillah. It was Haman, more than Esther, who destroyed Haman ... on Purim, we rise above the limited reach of our understanding, and for a brief moment we perceive that 'blessed be Mordechai' and its hippuch/its reversal, 'cursed be Haman,' are really one and the same." ("Redemption by Reversal," Rabbi Ahron Lopiansky)
