Our friends and readers should know that ever since December 3, we have
had inordinate problems getting the ZGrams out - mostly to Europe, but also
to some readers here on our continent. And there are other indications that
are of the same pattern. I am writing and shipping the ZGrams as ever -
if you don't get them, check at the Zundelsite.
As part of our broadening front to fight for truth and freedom to have our
say our way, I am preparing a subsection on our website called "Human
Rights - Human Wrongs". It will deal with the actions or inactions
by institutions, many of them of global reach and influence such as the
United Nations and many other Human Rights organizations, which parade under
the guise of "Human Rights" yet are mere instruments for the Dark
Forces to pass and enforce so-called "hate laws" that often are
used by Jewish interests to shield them from criticism for their repressive
lobbying and censorship activities.
Below is a shortened version of Ernst Zundel's introductory editorial to
this aspect of our struggle:
"These past few weeks, while preparing and sending out press releases and doing the resultant interviews, I have frequently quoted Article 19 and other Articles of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This, in turn, has caused a flood of letters, faxes, e-mail and phone calls in my direction. Don't I know, my friends and advisors point out, that the United Nations organizations, of all places, are teeming with Marxists, Socialists, One-Worlders - and, yes! - many of them Jews? I, a German - challenging the Holocaust? Why do I want to waste my time appealing to such organizations under these circumstances?
Well, it is really quite simple.
They claim a lofty purpose - the protection of human dignity. I am a human being. I qualify. I, too, seek dignity. Like all the other six billion-plus human bipeds, I am entitled to invoke their documents' safeguards and shields - like every American can and does invoke the protection of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
I will now test if the Universal Declaration of Human Rights applies to all people equally - including Ernst Zundel, the German. Even though some of my legal advisors get exasperated when I keep bringing up all those UN Institutions and Protective Conventions, Declarations, Treaties etc., and even though they think that I have lost touch with reality, I intend to find out how serious these people are and how serious they take these documents. I intend to find out how far the UN will go, and how strongly they will defend the dignity of every human being on this planet.
I am therefore taking the fight for my own rights and, by extension, my own ethnic group's rights, beyond the narrow and often bigoted frontiers of the country where I was born. I am taking it beyond the country of my choice, Canada, where I have lived and worked for 38 years, and where I have peacefully engaged in legal and democratic advocacy for the human rights for Germans.
Will I succeed? Well, we will see.
What are my chances if Maxwell Yalden, the Chairman of the National Canadian Human Rights Commission, recently appointed as a United Nations Advisor, is going to use this powerful Canadian commission to deprive me of the very human rights he was appointed to protect and uphold - trampling Article 19 of the UN Declaration of Rights in the process? Will he advise that body about human rights violations brought against me - by the CHRC?
Time will tell.
I could appeal to the Prime Minister of Canada, you say. Ah, but he has already told his Jewish election campaign financiers and supporters publicly that '. . . people like {Ernst Zundel} are not welcome in Canada.' (He was talking about 'Holocaust Deniers', which an eager lapdog press immediately and nationwide interpreted as "Ernst Zundel").
After that statement I asked myself what kind of step Mr. Chretien intended to take to make me unwelcome in Canada. I didn't have to wait very long. One morning I simply woke up and found out that I had been declared a 'security threat to Canada . . .' by the Chretien Government's civilian spy agency - with devastating implications for my future.
Now from a legal point of view, it's getting interesting.
The United Nations insist that you can only be called a 'security threat' if you threaten the existence of an entire state. I had done no such thing. I had merely exercised my democratic rights of free expression. Did my historical revisionism and Holocaust skepticism threaten the entire state of Canada? Not likely.
In Canada, where I reside, the Bloc Quebecois, the French-Canadian Separatists, have threatened the existence of the Canadian state in that they want to split it up. They have agitated in public, in print, on television and radio to tear Canada asunder. They have not been called or treated as a security threat, yet they had millions of people vote for separation - which means the destruction of Canada as a state. I, a lone individual, however, with not a speck of wrong-doing on my record except false charges made by politically motivated opponents and the resultant malicious prosecution for nine years in Canadian courts, am now declared a 'security threat'?
What my opponents are doing is morally wrong. It is legally wrong. It is contrary to the very International Law both countries, Germany and Canada, have sworn to uphold by being signatories to a host of treaties that were designed to have the force of law. These treaties actually supersede national law; they were not promulgated to just look good on paper.
I intend to test if these treaties to see if they have life - if they have veins and arteries through which genuine decency flows. Remember I won't be alone. I will be watched. I have a name recognized the world over, thanks to the persecution I have already suffered which gave me friends in high places near and far. I have already cut my teeth on granite - in the German and Canadian courts.
Consider the Zundelsite in California the door of the Wittenberg Cathedral of Luther's time on which one of today's Human Rights story will be hammered for all the world to see, for it was Luther, who made these words immortal: "I am more afraid of my own heart than of the Pope and all his cardinals. I stand here. I cannot do anything else. So help me God!"
I stood in front of that venerable, old Wittenberg church in 1990, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, being filmed by a Danish TV crew and photographed by French photographers, displaying the Leuchter Report.
I stood in 1968 at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, and with my father's soldier boots I kicked against that wall and told myself, as the courageous reformer did five hundred years ago: "The murdering and thieving rabble will not stop me!"
There I stood - in this state whose people and destiny were connected so disastrously with Germany's fate. And there I made the vow to defend with all I had to give the interests of the German people.
My folk. Regardless against whom. Or where.
That I would lift the curse of the Six Million Swindle.
Ernst Zundel
