And a very merry Christmas to you, too - all of you, by the hundreds,
who have sent us your Holiday Greetings!
At the beginning of the year, when it seemed as though it would be only
weeks, if not days, until Ernst Zundel would be shipped in handcuffs to
a jail in Germany - with chances being excellent that he would never get
out of that German jail alive and never again be allowed to walk a free
man among freemen - he asked me in a cramped paragraph at the end of a personal
letter to steel my spine, and here is what he said:
"I want you to defend the Zundelsite like Stalingrad!"
And so it seemed at times - not just for me, but for America. For those
of us who understood the nature of this struggle - a struggle for the minds
and souls of men - this past year felt like a symbolic, electronic Battle
of Stalingrad - where just a handful of the fighting forces discovered to
their horror that they had been surrounded totally, forsaken by fate, and
technologically outgunned horribly on every single front, and no way to
maneuver! - with some of the once-trusted ranks of leadership wormed through
and through with alien infestation, with all communication totally cut off,
bombardment raining from the sky, and even "friendly fire" wounding
some of the best of us, with icicles on hollow ruins where there was life
before, and frostbite creeping up in veins as though it were a living plant
- let me tell you: It was a wrenching Stalingrad! It was no picnic year!
Ask the Buchanan camp!
I think this may not be as visible right now - but this shall also be known
as the year that sorted the boys from the men. There are now some of you
out there in cyberspace who "know" deep in the marrow of your
bones - what this is really all about.
On a personal level, I have to say this: if there is anything these past
twelve months have taught me, it is that this struggle is not of this world
- that "thing" out there is ancient! Its malice and ill will are
bottomless.
So let us give credit where credit is due - to those who came before us,
and who are, for the most part, still with us - not fighting in the trenches
as in the olden days but with their websites and their e-mail, exposing
our enemies for all the world to see. And judge! And us - for who WE are!
Fredrick Toben of the Australian Institute, one of the Revisionist outposts,
has summarized these early pioneers who had the guts and genes to square
off with the Moloch. Dr. Toben wrote:
"We have succeeded in opening up encrusted thought patterns - desperation is setting in as the legal screws are applied in a frenzy to the protesters, the dissenters, the heretics of the holocaust dogma.
I shall have a hearing before our Human Rights Commission before March 1997 and shall vigorously defend the allegations brought before it by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, who is merely acting on behalf of the Los Angeles based Simon Wiesenthal Centre who, in turn, is acting on behalf of World Jewry.
I am not claiming that this is a conspiracy. What we have here is merely people acting in concert.
Let us therefore, in 1997, produce for the world stage a wonderful revisionist concert - and salute those brave individuals who in their own way and at considerable personal expense and sacrifice dared to challenge the Holocaust dogma:
Conscious of my own failings in not offering a complete list, I think of Paul Rassinier, Harry Barnes, Robert Faurisson, Arthur Butz, Fred Leuchter, Ernst Zundel, Wilhelm Staglich, Thies Christophersen, Ditlieb Felderer, Udo Walendy, Gunter Deckert, Germar Rudolf, Jim Keegstra, Malcolm Ross, Achmed Rahmi, Doug Collins, Friedrich Berg, Henry Roques, Charles Weber, Hans Schmidt, Manfred Junger, John Bennett, Andreas Rohler, Hans-Dietrich Sander, Peter Topfer, Georges Piscoci, Michael Hoffman, David Irving, (a well-known lady here . . . ) Mark Weber, Greg Raven, Jurgen Graf, Bradley Smith, David Cole, Carlo Mattogno, Robert Countess, John Sack, Serge Thion, Marc Lemire, Wigbert Grabert, and the many individuals who have stood behind those whose names appear above.
In the latter category there are the legal eagles who accepted the challenges knowing full well that they will never recover their legal costs from the proceedings in defending Holocaust heretics, such as Doug Christie, Hajo Herrmann, Ed Wall, Herbert Schaller, Some members of the legal fraternity have spent over $100,000 of their time - all for free, for the cause in which they believe. Some have not even been thanked for their unpaid work!
It is appropriate at this point to spare a thought for Professor Israel Shahak who, only the other day, has had his home raided by Israeli security. We immediately think of Mordecai Vanunu who, for over a decade, has languished in solitary confinement - with his mind and will-power still intact! But a decade fades into insignificance if we recall Rudolf Hess' sentence - then to be dispatched by strangulation.
Let us also during the festive season offer a prayer of forgiveness for public prosecutor Klein of Mannheim for being so misguided in his zealous pursuit of Holocaust heretics.
We should now extend our commiserations to Deborah Lipstadt, Gerald Fleming, Raul Hilberg, Christopher Browing, Gitta Sereny, Eberhard Jackel, Wolfgang Benz, Michael Wolfsohn, Konrad Kwiet, Heinz Kent and the ever dwindling number of individuals who are faced with the daunting task of upholding the Holocaust dogma. Their strength lies in having at their disposal unlimited funds and public sympathy.
To all those who are taking part in this final intellectual adventure of the twentieth century let me extend my personal hopes that 1997 will be an extraordinarily productive year for revisionists. . . "
It's true. We have made history. We will make more. The Stalingrad of
half a century ago was not the end - not even the beginning of the end!
- and neither was this year. It was the end of the beginning.
The Zundelsite has cut its cyber teeth on 1996, and generations coming after
us will talk about this milepost year, thanks to the Internet and, in no
little measure, thanks to the Nizkorites - who traipsed into this thing
with all the hokum, indolence and balderdash of fatuous Jesters of the Court,
while standing with both feet in mid-air on both sides of the issue, loudly
professing tolerance from both sides of their loudmouths while trying to
shriek us straight into cyber night with their computer mice!
And a hearty Western style, old-fashioned, very merry Christian Christmas
to you, too!
