Good Morning from the Zundelsite:



Here is an update report on several Revisionist fronts: 1) The Toronto CHRC Kangaroo Court hearings, 2) The about-to-be censored student Revisionist website at Washington State University, and 3) the appearance of a brand new, magnificent and very courageous Revisionist website in Europe.

First, Toronto, where the politically well-connected Holocaust Promotion Lobby is trying desperately to use the Canadian Human Rights Commission for their ends, knowing all the while they cannot win by fair means-as Holocaust promoters themselves have openly admitted in media interviews in Canada in recent weeks! Yet they are recklessly wasting fistfuls of taxpayers' money to "get Zundel" - a practice which will be pointed out by us at every opportunity through every media opportunty we have!

All indications are that Canada is all but seething now with an ever-more visible taxpayers' revolt, not unlike what is happening in the United States and elsewhere. Thus, we will have a great many opportunities to alert the Canadian taxpayers, blow by blow, between now and June of next year, when finally these grotesque and costly hearings are expected to conclude, about just what is happening to Canadians - and why.

From the beginning, Ernst has said that, no matter what solid evidence he could marshall to counter the "hate" charges against him, he could not win this case at the CHRC level, what with this quasi-judicial body's institutional bias and prejudice against him. The strategic merit for Revisinists of continuing and cooperating in these hearings is to get the politically incriminating information about the Holocaust Lobby shenanigans on public record, before the public, before the media, and into the Canadian court records for prudent later use. It has been done before!

I am not so sure that Ernst will lose even at this judicially low level. The Commission has a reputation to uphold in order to continue to get funding from the taxpayers, and it is not at all in their interest to show such blatant bias in the face of legal evidence that the Holocaust Promotion Lobby has no case. Even recent conventional media coverage has stated that.

As one reader wrote just last night:
"Doug Collins in "What's wrong with rights hearing" [North Shore News, March 9, 1997] likewise felt the deck was stacked against him: Saying "Victory will probably have to be won in the courts."

"It was won at the hearing level because the bureaucrats understood they didn't have a legal leg to stand on. By the way, a recurring motif in the news here nowadays is our lockstep march toward a police state.

"Many Canadians of all political stripes are growing very alarmed."

And well they should!

Meanwhile, I talked to Ernst last night, and it seems that the Holocaustonian's word twister, Professor Gary Prideaux, has delivered himself of some embarrassing statements, which I will happily excerpt for general consumption as soon as I can get my hands on the transcript of his cross-examination.

It turns out, to no one's great surprise, that the good professor does not seem to have ever heard of Sampling Theory, which ought to have been the mathematical foundation of the obligatory predictive and inferential statements he has made.

Any freshman with even a rudimentary understanding of statistics could have told Professor Prideaux that NO generalization can be made from a non-random sample to a general "population" - "population" here being the "population of documents on the Zundelsite" (An important statistical concept)

Even less can a prediction be made from a pre-selected sample!


To be told to use a pre-selected, non-random sample, as has happened to Prideaux, would be like picking one rotten apple out of a bushel of essentially healthy apples, handing it to someone who gets paid a hefty $800 per diem, and telling him: "I need you to say this is rotten. Be sure to use the word rotten. And make the inference that since this apple is rotten, ALL the apples in the bushel are rotten."

That kind of non-random, preselected sampling says nothing about the state of the health of the apples in the entire bushel. It is absolutely worthless scientifically. We are talking statistical kindergarten.

The Zundelsite now has some 2,000 documents and graphics. In order to make a prediction of "hate", it is a key statistical maxim that a minimum of 30 random samples should have been selected and analyzed in depth, and the concept of "hate" should have defined.

This was not done by Professor Prideau. 3 pre-selected, non-random samples out of 2,000 were given to him, for crying out loud!

What Prideaux did is not respectable or scientific at all. Can he even tell how many documents there are on the Zundelsite? Has he read any beyond the three he was given?

The squirming answer seemed to be: No!

And this is only the beginning.

Moving on to the administrative censorship attempt of the Revisionist student site at WSU.

The kids who run the site are in the middle of pre-Christmas exams, and I am wondering how much time they will have to devote to spreading the word to other conservative university students about the censorship of thought and questioning attempted at their university.

I know they have contacted the ACLU, who has told them that here, too, the censors do not have a leg to stand on. The students also want to make available the e-mail addresses of every professor at WSU so that supporters can write in and give them a piece of their minds.

I will keep you posted and urge you to assist these youngsters all you can. They need letters piled on letters!

Third, I have been so busy keeping myself from being engulfed by the quicksand of Zundelsite e-mail, which comes in faster than I can file it much less read it, that several important items have simply passed me by.

One of them is the Internet appearance of yet another magnificent Revisionist website. I will let one of the webmasters speak in his still somewhat halting English:
"Dear friends,

after a couple of weeks of struggling, the european foundation for Free Historical Research (Vrij Historisch Onderzoek, VHO) now presents its own domaine on the web that we would like you to visit and comment:

http://www.vho.org

If you think we can improve it, don't hesitate to contact us.

On http://www.vho.org/Archive.html you can find a project that has to be completed: We want to post at least links to all revisionist publications which are available both in hard copy and online.

So if you have on your website something that has been published in printed form as well (even if it is no longer available), and we do not yet refer to it in our list, please contact us so that we can complete our list.

As you can see, we are uploading articles from the renowned German revisionist quarterly journal "Deutschland in Geschichte und Gegenwart" (published be Grabert Verlag, Tuebingen), which is publishing revisionist articles already since 45 years but is hard to find even in German libraries. In future, we will upload even more stuff that is hardly available anywhere.

We would appreciate if you install links to our Website and recommend it to your visitors, as we have done with yours (see http://www.vho.org/Links.html. If you are not included there, please complain! We will add you immediately)."

So much for today. Onward and upward, Revisionist troopers! There is much more, and most of it in our favor, than I can possibly squeeze into this ZGram!
