". . . In the meantime we are unraveling corruption upon corruption, lies upon lies in the report of the civilian spy agency. I have already compiled more than a dozen notarized statements which implicate both the agency and its agents as well as the committee that is designated as the watch dog.
We have recorded their testimony on video and audio and are preparing them for release across all of North America-and world-wide through our web site.
Furthermore, we have discovered that as many as 15 people have been contacted with an intent to recruit them by the civilian spy agency to spy on their own comrades about their political and, thus, constitutionally guaranteed activities.
We have the names of these people who will testify to these illegal recruitment attempts, and we are preparing additional interviews right at this moment involving other matters.
All these revelations and scandals could have been avoided, had the Canadian Government and its institutions behaved responsibly, decently and lawfully-and had they not been so driven by a hate-filled ideology. . . "
Ernst goes on to say:
". . . You have to understand what is involved here and what it really means. Canada isn't Germany. The sovereignty of a Canadian citizen is constitutionally protected. Canadian citizens are not yet animals that can be politically "hunted"-as happens in contemporary Germany. In Canada, we do not spy on people STASI-fashion because that goes against the grain and the tradition of the Anglo-Saxons . . . "
And, further down, Ernst writes:
TO MY SUPPORTERS! VERY IMPORTANT!
The government is alleging that I have advocated political violence in the past and will advocate political violence, illegal acts or sedition either in Germany or Canada in the future. Could you write me a short note, stating your opinion of my work (newsletters, TV programs, radio shows etc.) and stating whether I have ever advocated or incited you to violence in the past.
THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! The allegation is that my "disciples" will commit political violence at my word.
If you can get it notarized by a local notary, that would be great. The letter should state your name, address etc. clearly.
These letters will be used as evidence in the hearings against me to prove that I have never advocated violence to further political beliefs. . . "
Those of you who know Ernst Z=FCndel personally know without a shred of doub= t that to accuse this man of violence or of inciting violence in others is desperation and panic on the part of his mendacious opposition, because nothing will be harder to prove, and hundreds will confirm and verify the opposite.
For almost forty years, Ernst Zündel has made pacifism not only a person= al creed but a studied political stance that has served him as a tool in his activism on behalf of his own race and his own people. To say that he is violent or that he can and will cause violence is organized and orchestrated government character assassination by using anonymous bureaucrat stooges.
The whole scenario reminds me a little of this saying attributed to Abraham Lincoln: "The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty."
Those who know Ernst will rally to his side, as they have done before. Those who do not know him yet except perhaps through his writings, his radio and television broadcasts, the Zundelsite, or as reflected in my ZGRams will have already a good feel for where this forthright man is coming from and where he will surely go: straight for the wolf's jugular vein. Already we get glimpses of the necessary moral eloquence for masterful retaliation. There's more to come this summer.
I am asking all of you who have a sense for the dimensions and importance of his struggle that will play out in Canada to write a thoughtful letter, stating very clearly if you think Ernst Zündel did in the past-or, in your opinion, would in the future-advocate violence to achieve his political ends, or if you think Ernst Zündel is a moral and courageous man who does the near-impossible: who by sheer strength of will and power of conviction takes on the Invisible Masters controlling all of us like puppets on a string.
Please-think that letter through, and write it carefully!
Please, if you can, go to your nearest public notary and have it notarized. There's nothing more important that you can do today!
Send it to him: ERNST ZÜNDEL, 206 Carlton Str., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5A 2L1." And say a prayer to whatever Power you believe is on the side of Goodness, Truth and Justice. Your prayer WILL be heard if there is balance in the universe. Your letter WILL be one more rock in David's sling shot to be hurled at Goliath.
