"The interviewer came well prepared and briefed by local Jewish spokespeople like Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress and by B'nai Brith. He asked interesting questions, refused to be photographed, and said he was no Mossad agent.
"He did not want me to publicize his visit; otherwise, he said, the other papers in Israel would put pressure on his paper's management to kill the story.
"I agreed to wait a reasonable length of time. Nine weeks have passed; that's long enough!
"We made a magnificent video tape of this interview. Suffice it to say, the reporter got an earful. I was surprised how brainwashed this Israeli man was about the Holocaust and history. He was almost as badly brainwashed as German reporters are.
"Nonetheless, I liked him. He was a typical Sabra - an Israeli-born Sephardic Jew from Iraq. In my experience, these people are fairer than our mean, vindictive Ashkenazis from the ghettos of Eastern Europe who have been hounding me like latter-day Genghis Khans from the steppes of Asia.
"The man was obviously here on a mission. He was definitely interested in what might be in store for Israel and the Jews if the Holocaust-Myth-Unraveling accelerates. His many probing questions betrayed more than curiosity. There was an undertone of anxiety. Even fear. . .?"
You betcha!
One Zundelsite reader cut straight to the meat of the matter:
"I just received e-mail from a Japanese correspondent who reminded me that the US signed a peace treaty with Japan in 1952. Since there has been no such treaty with Germany up until today, are we still technically at war with Germany?"
And there is more. In an article written by Britain's Berlin reporter for
the London Telegraph, titled "Germany divided over Wehrmacht's record"
by Andrew Grimson, we read the following:
". . . Atrocities committed by German soldiers during the Second World War will be debated by politicians in Bonn tomorrow.
"The occasion is the opening this week in Frankfurt of an exhibition entitled "Crimes of the Wehrmacht, 1941 to 1944". The exhibition has been touring German and Austrian cities since 1995, but continues to provoke bitter opposition from a section of the German public which refuses to accept that the German army was deeply involved in war crimes . . .
"The exhibition . . . succeeds by presenting a gruesome collection of photographs and documents which show German soldiers killing prisoners and civilians in Serbia, White Russia and during the advance to Stalingrad. . .
"The Frankfurter Allgemeine published an outstandingly hostile interview with (Jan Philipp Reemtsma, the Hamburg millionaire who mounted the show) when the exhibition reached Frankfurt. (Reemtsma) was accused of emotionalising the subject, dressing up his source material in a demagogic spirit and "turning the symbol of Prussian military honour" - the Iron Cross - into 'a symbol of barbarity' . . .
"Every time an argument develops about Germany's recent history it
explodes the idea carefully propagated by Bonn that the country is
united by a group of common liberal values. . . 'History' degenerates into a slinging match between Germans who want to start feeling proud of being German again and those who find only self-abasement tolerable."
So last night I net-surfed a bit. I don't do that nearly enough because
I am so overwhelmed by e-mail, but every time I do, I am amazed at what
I see.
Last night, I counted 74 publications identified as nationalist publications,
almost all of them in German and many of them new. I also counted 137 organizations,
clubs and societies, many of them student-run, in various degrees affiliated
with what can only be described as the underground Resistance Right, all
giving contact information - and I am sure that there are many more.
Tellingly, I also found some 200+ organizations identified as "Organizations
against Germany" - many of them with "Red" names such as
"Autonomous Communists for Socialism instead of Barbarism", "The
Revolutionary Spark", "United Against the Right", "Red
Assistance", "Red Corner", "Black Thread", and
"Spidernet".
For all too long it has been easier in Germany to be a soothsayer than a
truthsayer, but now the soothsayers are going out of business. Why do I
say that? The soothsayers themselves have said so.
Somebody sent me an astonishing quote from "Living Marxism", issue
48:
". . . all of the capitalist powers - and not just the defeated nations of Germany and Japan - experience the Second World War as an indictment of their system.
"One crucial consequence of the Nazi experience was that it compromised the political right. Everything which the right traditionally stood for - Western superiority, racism, the naturalness of inequality, the legitimacy of national expansionism, colonialism-- became undermined by 1945."
That is exactly right.
A very big rally is planned for May 1st, two weeks from now. Titled "National
Resistance" and subtitled "The People bleed. The System Rules.
The Capitalists Cash In", it promises to be a populist spectacle unless
the government decides to interfere again.
The first demonstration, some 5,000 strong who rallied on behalf of German
soldiers' honor on March 1, was sabotaged by the Bonn vassal government,
beholden as it is to its Allied masters, in that buses filled with thousands
of additional protesters were physically prevented from reaching Munich,
the demonstrators thus having their democratic and human rights trampled
on by Bonn's compliant bully boys. But even so, many thousands of protesters
made it to Munich and made their displeasure known loudly. And there is
more to come.
Check the Thule-Netz for minformation in German at http://members.aol.com/gesetz/demo/demo2.htm.
Time: May 1, 11 a.m.
Place: The City of Leipzig in the parking lot next to the "Voelkerschlacht-Denkmal" ("The Monument of the Battle Field of Many Nations")
For those who do not speak German, try e-mailing to 100737.755@compuserve.com for directions and instructions.
We shall await what happens in two weeks. It looks as though the German
populace ". . . has had its nose full", as we say in German.

Thought for the Day:
"Holocausts are now the creation of the powerless. Meanwhile those with power . . . are now charged with the task of averting another one."
