After a rather extended absence from my Southern California office, thanks to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal cross-examination in defense of the Zundelsite and other business I had to undertake in Canada and elsewhere, I am finally back at my keyboard - my heart filled to the brim with ideas and impressions about our monumental struggle, and not knowing just where to begin.
That we are making Truth advances on a global scale in ways we never would have dared to dream less than five years ago, of that I have no doubt. I came home to a bushel full of letters, essays, books and magazines, all throwing sparks of independent thought like diamond splinters on a beach. Magnifico!
Take just a few statistics and ponder what they mean:
According to a New York Times poll, recently published and quoted in the Instauration, July 1998, issue,
". . . 30 percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of Israel. 70 percent said the Zionist state has not done enough to prove its interest in peace. 19 percent asserted Jews had too much influence on US foreign policy. 40 percent believed the US was giving too much aid to the Israelis, and 38 favored a Palestinian state."
Projecting what polls are assumed to project, and assuming 275 million Americans plus an estimated 25 million "illegals" - those numbers mean the following:
* An estimated 90 million Americans have ". . . an unfavorable view of Israel." That is astonishing in a land where the press functions as lapdogs!
* An estimated 210 million Americans are willing to state that ". . . the Zionist state has not done enough to prove its interest in peace." Just when you thought that you and a handful of your Revisionist cronies alone harbored these dissident thoughts about a country believing itself to be beyond the pale of criticism, it turns out that 210 million Americans agreed with you! Amazing!
* A projected 57 million Americans can be assumed to have enough guts to dare state to a pollster that ". . . Jews had too much influence on US foreign policy." And you thought you were alone resenting alien action in the White House? Think again!
* A projected 120 million Americans believe ". . . US was giving too much aid to the Israelis." You had no idea, did you, that ordinary Americans who have been bombarded with pro-Israel propaganda morning, noon and night - and pro-Holocaust brainwashing for more than 50 years! - had soooo much common sense still left in them?
Revisionism can claim some of the credit for this! We have no reason to despair!
Wrote Instauration:
"It is wise to treat any poll concerning Jews or Israel with caution. Many Americans are so fearful of Jewish power that they are reluctant even to say sotto voce anything negative about the Chosen."
Which means, of course, that the above percentages are likely on the conservative side! These percentages are a pretty good indication that millions upon millions of Americans are aware and getting wise to what is happening. So much is happening! Awareness is now sprouting by the proverbial leaps and bounds. Man, are we ever rolling in awareness!
Even Spielberg regarding "Private Ryan" - a film conceived to flail a dying horse, the glories of the Allied's D-Day - is getting mighty worried and weighing in, to wit:
"This film will be a wonderful education for the multitude of young people out there who don't realize the importance of the Second World War . . . who aren't sure Hitler actually existed . . . who don't believe the Holocaust happened."
Right here - big Revisionist grin! Why would Spielberg add that telling last sentence - if Schindler's List had been at all convincing? Those Chosenites are whistling in the dark! They ***know*** that they are talking largely to themselves!
How sweet it is! Wherever you turn, the tap root of what ails this dying century is now laid bare and is increasingly exposed to public scrutiny.
Against that backdrop of public recognition that we are in a full-blown intellectual war for the unfettered mind of man - the root of which is what some people, gingerly, call the prevailing culture myths, encompassing much more than just the "Holocaust" - I say the following: These devastating myths and fabrications have seriously infected Western culture and almost brought it to its knees through state-enforced demands for kneefall upon kneefall, enforced by legislative bayonets, to benefit the Chosen. Obviously the NYT poll reveals that the American people know plenty of what's what - and who's who!
As I sit at my keyboard, warming my soul on the achievements of the last handful of years that saw our cause flash on the Internet, I come upon an emotional and nasty letter from somebody in Austria, here slightly copy-edited for spelling and, yes, intemperate content. I number the paragraphs below so I can address the points raised:
(1) "I don't know how others (Revisionists) feel about it, but I think that Rimland's raving on about Canada is getting too much. As if Revisionists have no other problems to think about.
(2) "I find it very very strange that Ingrid Rimland completely ignores a major event in times like these, namely the fact that JUDEA has declared WAR ON SWITZERLAND, the only country in the world the Jews have not managed to ruin and damage economically. All other nations have become just slaves to the Jews.
(3) "And what is even worse, not one word has come from Rimland about a major court case in Baden (Switzerland) against Europe's major and best known Revisionist, Juergen Graf. Ernst Zundel may have started the avalanche about the "Did 6-Million-Die" lie-trick of the Jews to suppress and plunder every country in this world, but Jurgen Graf's books have caused the Jews to move against Graf in Europe in big style.
(4) "Graf has proved to be much more dangerous to the Holocaust lies than Zundel. Any court decision in Switzerland and Europa is much, much more important than any case in Canada or any other foreign country outside the European community.
(5) "Also, the second important man in the case, the Austrian Wolfgang Froehlich and, further, Walter Lueftl, have been completely ignored. Besides Leuchter, there are only these two men in Europa who can pull the gas chamber lies of the Jews apart, scientifically speaking.
(6) "Froehlich has been threatened in Baden with separate court charges against him, and the Swiss State Police have "suggested" to the Internet provider to filter out the website address of Froehlich. Unfortunatly, most of it is in German.
(7) "His address ist: http://www.ostara.org/frohlich At the same provider address you find Lachout (http://www.ostara.org/lachout) who has won a case against the Republic of Austria recently. Central theme was the non-existing gas chamber.
(8) Juergen Graf has been given 18 Months jail and Ingrid Rimland ignores that, too. I wonder ..."
Wonder no longer. Instead, put on your thinking cap and show some maturity and manners.
(1) I am not raving about Canada. I am reporting from ***my front***! I am personally involved with and affected by the brutal censorship moves against a US Revisionist website by self-appointed Canadian Torquemadas. Like it or not - or see it or not! - massive censorship of the Revisionist viewpoint around the globe is ***the*** central Freedom of Speech theme at this time. And the struggle about the cyber flagship called the Zundelsite just happens to be playing out in Canada!
(2) Let's set the record straight. More than once, I ***have*** covered the World Jewish Congress and the Simon Wiesenthal Center's disgraceful assault on Switzerland. But to be fair, I must point out that there are Jewish voices in Switzerland itself as well as outside Switzerland who condemn the actions of people like Bronfman, D'Amato, Hier etc. Sweeping condemnations of ***all*** Jews are, hence, not in our interest and definitely not factually correct. I flatly reject the blanket accusation and intemperate tone in blaming all Jews - blame Nahum Goldman, Hier and Bronfman for their ingratitude and rapaciousness. Not all Jews had knowledge of, or approved of, their looting schemes and concomitant political moves.
(3) I personally know, respect and admire Juergen Graf because I met him at a conference in 1994. I sat in on one of the first Revisionist interviews conducted with Graf by Ernst Zundel. Graf's books and ideas were made popular through that and subsequent interviews broadcast continent-wide on Ernst Zundel's Voice of Freedom TV and radio shows, and by inclusion of Graf's work and troubles with censors in Zundel's Power and Germania letters. I spent ***weeks*** HTML-coding several of Graf's books to post them on the Zundelsite when coding still had to be done painstakingly by hand. Graf knows that I am not ignoring him or slighting his brave contribution.
(4) through (8) Nonsense! Ernst Zundel started the ball rolling with his very costly trials that gave birth to the Leuchter Report. It is safe to say: No Zundel trial, no Graf as a Revisionist! As Revisionists go, Graf is the "new kid on the block." I well remember Juergen arguing right there in a swimming pool in California less than four years ago that what is happening today in Switzerland to him and others - a brutal, massive censorship crackdown! - could never happen! Ever! The Swiss would not allow it, insisted Juergen Graf. We live and learn. Graf did. I did. Even Ernst Zundel did. Attack us for our "thought crimes", and you create some formidable opposition! That's why our cause shines with the talents and the stunning contributions of the likes of Juergen Graf! It's struggle by default!
Same story with Lueftl and Froehlich, who have been mentioned over and over again by Zundel in his writings and broadcasts. Froehlich became known beyond the Austrian borders only relatively recently. Especially Froehlich testified bravely in Switzerland and is a man of courage. But to claim that these two men alone in Europe can ". . . destroy the gas chamber story scientifically" is nonsense!
Get this, once and for all: The gas chamber story ***has*** been destroyed. The groundwork has been laid. Henceforth, it will be up to tens of thousands of engineers and scientists in Europe who have the experience and courage to demolish that grotesque World War II propaganda relic for the sickening monster it is! These engineers and scientists, historians, writers, journalists and even little folks who can read and think for themselves will soon remember they are men - not turtles and not midgets! Lueftl and Froehlich have made their inroads - after being attacked, vilified and persecuted mercilessly by their governments, the media and the Holocaust Lobby in action. So did Graf. So will others. I guarantee that many more will follow in their footsteps. This fight is for foot soldiers - not just for generals!
I have taken all morning to answer in detail because the time has come to stop the diatribes in our ranks. If people are unhappy with my ways, there is an e-mail address where I can be addressed in private. I surely hope and pray that the campaign for truth in history can now be carried on in more cultured terms and a more balanced presentation based on facts, not on some fig-flying emotions. We aren't Nizkorites who specialize in slinging mud. We should remember who we are and the great cause we represent - and act accordingly.
In summary: I was 5,000 km away in far-off Toronto to appear before the lawyers of the Canadian Jewish establishment and the Canadian state organizations and to defend the Zundelsite. I was away from my own hub and did the best I could by shipping daily ZGrams out of my emergency hopper. These ZGrams were written ahead of time or on the road, as ZGrams often are when pressing business is at hand that needs to be addressed and dealt with personally. It can't be helped that sometimes they get stale or bland or limp behind events. It is not the end of the world!
Those who complain should try to do a better job instead of kwetching and complaining out of sheer ignorance or, worse, out of deliberate malice. Their actions spread discord, doubt, anger, pain and discontent in our ranks, thus weakening our troops. How can we build a front for a viable movement with smears and innuendoes? Why not improve the movement, instead, by trying to do better yourself? Put brain in gear before your fingers touch that keyboard. Our movement is still in its infancy - raw, frazzled, raucous, foolish, loudmouth - and as hurtful to us as much as to "them". There is as much stupidity in what is called "The Right" as there is on the Left. There are people out there claiming kinship to our cause who have no business doing so - who aren't part of us, who never were, who have no claim on us and our ideas and ideals. I'll give you a "for instance": I have been called some horrid names by a retired teacher with a BA and years of so-called "dedication" to the Cause who uses gutter language like some illiterate ghetto kid. I don't approve of that. But will I waste my time to argue with this lout? No. I have better things to do. He makes me want to die with shame I ever trusted him. These sorry bipeds with their addled brains and infantile emotions are part of our problem - not solution.
One final point needs to be made. At present, our enemies do not allow strong leaders and firm leadership to naturally evolve from our ranks. Those who could be potential leaders are tied up hand and foot in courts - Robert Faurisson, Ernst Zundel, Juergen Graf, Wolfgang Froehlich, Emil Lachout, Gunther Deckert and Udo Walendy, to mention just a few. They just don't need the self-inflicted wounds of "friendly fire". They need appreciation and support. I know I do the best I can. It has to be enough.
This is a call to all serious Revisionists and mature, cultured nationalists out there in cyberspace to stop this business of maligning people who try to hold their own and who are working hard. Know that you are doing your damage to the Chosenite's howls and applause. That kind of conduct isn't worthy of our struggle and of the sanctity of our cause. Believe me that *I* don't approve of many things I read out there in cyberspace - even coming from alleged allies. I try to hold my tongue and nose and focus on our tasks. It does not help our Cause by turning on a muddied fellow soldier in the trenches - in full view of the foe.
