August 30, 1996
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
Ernst has asked for some private time to take care of
a family matter; I have no way of reaching him to double-check my thoughts
and make sure my hot pen doesn't get him in trouble.
Therefore, this column does not have a theme; it's just a bit of a news
update, along with some items that might make you pause, guess and ponder.
The news across the land is good, bad and ugly. The good up-front:
- Don't forget the upcoming David Irving lecture tour at the beginning
of September. For further information, please check with Greg
Raven.
- A student website up north in the State of Washington now has an official
Revisionist section. One of the Renaissance Kids wrote:
- "I do not know if you have had a chance to view the revisionist
site, but it is coming along better than what we have expected. We will
try to fix it so students from all over the world will be able to listen
to Irving speeches via the Internet, even people in Germany. We will be
working on it this weekend. I have a good feeling about this." I
checked it last night; it looks very nice and clean. Please visit and write
those kids a note of support and give them some ideas and suggestions.
They are really working against great odds because the hostility against
them on their respective campuses is palpable.
- I would like for someone to study the possibility of a "Revisionist
webring." This sensible Net idea comes from a
student group that is sponsoring a topical grouping of websites
- a kind of drawing the wagons around the tents, so to speak, as they did
in the old Wild West Days.
- I have felt for some time that we needed something like that, but for
legal reasons, Ernst won't permit me to link with anyone except the most
solid and traditional Revisionist webpages. I think that a well-thought-out
"webring" would cut down on duplication and would help us to
specialize and focus better on our respective thematic turfs.
- Anyone?
- Another Politically Incorrect website has been axed, this one in the
US. I don't want to mention it by name because it was not one that made
most of us too comfortable. I never visited it, but its e-mail bulletins
were aggressive in language and hostile against other races - an attitude
that I personally felt was not attributing to a genuinely constructive
global nationalist spirit, although stylistically these missives were exceptionally
good.
- Still, it is sad to see a website fall victim to insidious censorship.
- Again, we are having e-mail interference - this time with ZGrams shipped
to Europe. Hand-mailed, the letters will go through. My server thinks that
it is a technical problem. Who knows?
- This item, reported by the Aryan News Agency, is two weeks old but
still of interest to us here in the West who are attuned to politically
expedient phrases used by the opposition - such as "inciting racial
hatred." Its title: "Georgian Arrested and Fined for Criticizing
Jews."
- Givi Alaznishpireli, editor of the small Georgian newspaper
_Noi_, was arrested and charged with inciting racial hatred yesterday (8/15/96)
for writing an article in which he called Jews "vampires" and
blamed them for causing problems in Georgia.
- A district court fined Alaznishpireli and suspended publication
of the newspaper, which has a circulation of about 500.
- The deputy chief prosecutor of Tbilisi, Valery Iosava, said
it was the first time anyone was charged under the law, which carries a
maximum punishment of three years in prison.
- Meanwhile, here in America it is constructive to watch how more and
more journalists are "bucking from within," even those whom no
one would associate with us. For instance, Louis Farrakhan told the National
Association of Black Journalists at a meeting on August 21 that they are
slaves to White newspaper owners.
- Farrakhan said, as reported by the ANA:
- ". . . White folk did not hire you to really represent
what black people are really thinking and you don't really tell them what
you think because you are too afraid.
- This does not protect democracy. . .The people who own the
newspapers from which you work, they have an opinion, they have a philosophy,
they have a guiding principle that they skew the news.
- A scared-to-death Negro is a slave, you slave writers, slave
media people. The masses are being fed filth, ignorance, stupidity in the
name of news, in the name of media. . ."
- It is telling that hundreds of people in the audience gave Farrakhan
several standing ovations during his speech.
- Doug Collins, that feisty and thoroughly Politically Incorrect British
Columbia columnist, had this to say in one of last week's North Shore News
column:
"I am not religious, but it's odd when education authorities can remove
the Bible from schools, replace it with condoms, encourage sodomy with
preachments about 'safe sex,' yet deny teaching employment to a deeply
Christian person."
- Meanwhile, one of the Censorship Busters, that group of cyber journalists
that originally came to our rescue when the Zundelsite was besieged by
the Powers-that-be, wrote recently:
"Forget international connectivity - most governments are
trying to erect a checkpoint at every virtual border. I have this horrible
fear that in 2005 or so world leaders are going to say something like:
"We had to destroy the global village in order to save it."
Sorry, folks, that this column is such a mishmash of unconnected items,
but when Ernst is not available to check my work against his frame of reference
of what is good or not-so-good to say, I feel like a cat without whiskers.
