September 11, 1997

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

More and more, I think "Efficiency!" - brooding about ways and means of getting our message out to where it would do the most good, penetrate politically interested groups, cause splendid public relations, and permit the public to see us in our proper role: namely as law-abiding, intelligent, articulate, responsible people with an arguable point of view on recent history.

No ARA types here! We'll leave those characters to our opposition!

And what finer way to do that than to dress up in suit and tie, take an inner resolution not to shame the cause by speaking carelessly or acting foolishly, and to follow right in the tracks of our opposition when THEY put on an event - because THEY do the groundwork, and THEY make sure the media is there.

The only thing we'd have to do is to conduct ourselves responsibly - and shine!

One such event is coming up that I have mentioned before, and I believe some of our people in the area ought to at least hand out some flyers. There will be plenty of attention, trust me!

It is a university-sponsored event hypocritically titled "The Nuremberg Prosecutors Reflect on the Triumph of Justice and Morality," put on by the University of South Carolina Nationsbank (whatever that means!!) and an outfit called The Shoftim Society, apparently headed by a rabbi.

Thought for the Day:

US President Roosevelt, in conversation with Morgenthau on August 19, 1945, as recorded in the Morgenthau diary:

"We have got to be tough with Germany, and I mean the German people, not just the Nazis. You either have to castrate the German people or you have got to treat them in such a manner so they can't go on reproducing people who want to continue the way they have in the past."

(David Irving in "Nuremberg: The Last Battle" p. 6)
