Below is Part III of the small, four-page essay (The West, War and Islam) Ernst Zundel wrote and sent to heads of state in the Islamic countries in the late 1970s - an essay which became one of two documents for which he was hauled through the courts in two gargantuan Thought Crimes Trials in 1985 and 1988:
". . . What can be done to arrest and, finally, to reverse this dangerous decline? How and when can we begin to save ourselves from the international destroyers and enslavers of mankind? SALVATION THROUGH INFORMATION Certainly, the Islamic world has the financial means to publish, broadcast or otherwise disseminate the truth which alone can halt the Zionist drive to war and chaos, but because this information would come from "foreign" sources, it would be subject to jamming, censorship, interception and/or confiscation. "Foreign" ownership of any major Western newspaper, magazine, radio or TV station would also face governmental sanctions, including censorship and seizure. A practical alternative would be the establishment of independently operating channels of communication and information within the countries of the West, staffed by native Westerners, since there are still many independent, well-informed, courageous and talented people with organizational ability here in the West. Even at this late hour, not all Western men of worth have sold themselves to Zionist slavery. There are at this moment already in existence organizations which, if properly funded, could become the nucleus of an independent, world-wide information network capable of countering the now unopposed Zionist disinformation and hate propaganda. The public may be reached through advertisements, such as the current advertisements paid for by Freemasons to defame the Arab cause in the major German newspapers. We could have placed a pro-Arab advertisement to counter these, but we lack the money to do so. The nations of Islam are also entitled to such advertising in their own defense, with even greater chances of success, because many people in the West are growing weary and wary of Zionists and their criminal aims. If the necessary funds were available to me and to my organization, I could begin such a public information campaign immediately. Please consider seriously what I am proposing: · For the cost of one airplane, a whole nation could be informed about the true aim of one or more Islamic countries. · For the cost of one tank, a public information film could be produced and shown over and over again to Western audiences who are eager to be informed. · For the cost of one anti-tank missile, a small booklet could be published and sent to the news media representatives of the West. · For the cost of one artillery shell, a well-trained speaker could present the Islamic case at a university symposium or international gathering. · For the cost of one rifle, 500 information-packed tape cassettes could be sent to radio stations around the world. · For the cost of one rifle bullet, stamps could be bought to mail ten letters bearing the message of truth and understanding to remote corners of the world. Are expensive and rapidly obsolescent weapons preferable to (outreach information) which can bring about peace? Are weapons purchases preferable to the Word of God? Are we just going to continue to enrich the Zionist warmongers of East and West by continuing to buy their killing machines - so as to destroy ourselves all the more efficiently? Surely, none of us wants this. There is a better way - the way of truthful information." (End of original excerpt) In December of 1990, at the brink of the Gulf War, Ernst re-published this essay in his Christmas Power letter, adding: "Unfortunately, the Islamic leaders did not heed my warning. My pleas fell upon deaf ears. They continued their folly of squandering hundreds of billions of petro-dollars on useless arms which brought them no nearer to freedom, but actually made them more and more dependent upon their non-Arab suppliers' willingness to sell them spare parts to keep their weapons functional. The weaponry which such Arab countries as Iraq purchased from their enemies is now the excuse their enemies need for attacking them militarily, even if Iraq were to withdraw from Kuwait this instant. I pity the poor Iraqis."
I remember well how we, here in America, saw Saddam Hussein changed from a largely unknown Arab leader into a total villain - "a second Hitler" - within the time span of one week. This propaganda blitz was followed swiftly by a spectacular display of Fourth of July type fireworks - all to the cheering of the "patriotic" masses. I remember one Arab woman digging through the debris of her demolished home for her charred relatives, screaming: "For what! For what! For oil?" For the first time since I had become an American citizen, I felt ashamed of this country and seriously considered turning in my American citizenship. The Gulf War was not to America's credit, and it will haunt this country for a long time to come. Now, almost six years later, May 12, 1996, Leslie Stahl of "Sixty Minutes: interviewed the Czech Jewess, Madeline Albright, then Ambassador to the U.N. and now appointed to the post of Secretary of State in the Clinton Administration. The following exchange took place with regard to "U.N. sanctions" (read artificial famine) on Iraq:
Stahl: "We have heard that a million children died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" Ambassador Albright: "I think this is a very hard choice, but we think the price is worth it."
Just who is hate-mongering in this tortured world? Is it Ernst Zundel in a small four-part essay - or is it the Khazars of old? Ingrid
Thought for the Day: "it is not the first time that gentile nations, forgetting themselves for a brief period, have offered us friendship and even affection. But the strange and unnatural exaltation passed, and bitter sobriety returned." (Maurice Samuel in "You Gentiles")
