I talked to one of the Zundel attorneys at length, and the consensus is that Judge Campbell's ruling in Ernst Zundel's favor and against the Holocaust Lobby could not have been worse for the Holocaust Enforcer crowd who tried to use the Human Rights Commission as their cudgel. Hah!
Congratulations for the magnificent Zundel legal team are still pouring in non-stop! And not a single negative response! Not even one!
And not one word of this important Zundel victory in the Canadian media!
It is as Giwer says: "Media, thy name is lapdog!"
It's very, very sad for Canada. When I first moved there in the 1960s, I thought that I had come to Paradise. Canadians have committed wholesale spiritual and cultural harikiri and turned over one of their most important freedoms to special interests - the freedom of the mainstream press.
Lucky for us, we have the Internet. Here is a small sample of what people are saying around the globe.
=====
"Music for the ears! Congratulations to all of you. I'll see if there is any response in Swedish newspapers. Hardly think so. If not, I'll have to help them!"
=====
"CONGRATULATIONS! A modern day David & Goliath affair."
=====
"Ingrid, this is a truly important victory.
"When Bugs Bunny is allowed to make fun of Hitler, it is not a sign of free speech. When the CHRC has to back away from Ernst Zundel, it is!"
=====
"Our friend is right, of course. Ernst and the Zundel legal team have won a most important victory. As for what's telltale and what isn't, the fact that this is not being reported in and by the mainstream media suggests that they are being co-opted by The Lobby and muzzled accordingly by their publishers and editors.
"But the word _is_ getting out via the Web and the newsgroups, as we all know. In the same way that truth about what's happening in Yugoslavia is getting out, relegating the mainstream media to the role of piano player in the grand NATO whorehouse.
"There appears to be a kind of curious parallel between Zundel's Jewish Lobby detractors and the NATO propaganda machine. Notwithstanding their resources, one finds them unsure and unsteady in the prosecution of their aims and less and less credible.
"One wonders, How long before their own stupid oafish zeal married to a clumsy ineptness will cause them to lose the war, whether the Lobby's paper war that it has been waging against Ernst these past 20 years or NATO's shooting war in Yugoslavia of the past 3 weeks."
=====
"Mr. Zuendel's vctory was like a ray of life-giving sunshine in an otherwise bleak cultural and racial landscape for us, and such victories truly nourish the soul and sustain us with the one real necessity of life: hope. So I congratulate you and partake of your joy.
"You ask: What next? Our enemies are not stupid, whatever else they may be, and I urge you to keep this in mind. It is very unlikely that they will make the same mistake twice: they will not let themselves be seen as the persecutors and plotters that they are, or chance exposure as they did in this case.
"Instead, you can expect the following: there will be an actual "hate crime"--e.g., obscenities or racial "epithets" painted on Jewish synagogue walls, stones overturned in a Jewish cemetary, etc. When apprehended, the "perpetrator" will get the idea across that he was inspired by a "hate site" on the Internet; perhaps there will be an actual human victim, if it's deemed necessary to stir up sufficient hysteria to get "anti-hate" legislation enacted applying to the Internet.
"Believe me, I say this reluctantly. But the Internet is a real threat to them--the first threat to their power in decades!"
====
"I am pleased to see the gains made by Ernst, the gutsiest fighter around, and the most unbeatable (legal) team ever seen!
"Keep up the good work and keep socking it to 'em!"
=====
"Wonderful news to get such a victory and, if you don't drink champagne, maybe have a big cup of herbal tea just to commemmorate the occasion. Congratulations to all involved."
====
"Ernst, WELL DONE MATE -- CONGRATULATIONS. Also to your legal team, MAN what an effort.
"Your progress has been followed closely by your mates down under. My thanks also to Ingrid Rimland. Your effort is truly appreciated here in Australia."
=====
"First off, my sincere congratulations on your current victory. With luck, Canada will drop the whole thing. Don't count on it.
"Where next? Well, if I were the Tribunal, I'd shove through some law saying that decisions of the tribunal are not to be subject to judicial review. . . and begin the whole mess all over again.
"Your best bet at this point is to hope the ever-increasing scope of the speech restrictions in Canada begins to reach people with impeccable academic and political credentials, so that opponents not easily dismissed as apologists for genocide can challenge the law.
"As I've said before, Canada really needs a general-purpose free-speech orgnization, one not affiliated with any particular political cause."
=====
"Many thousand congratulations to Ernst and team for this victory. I felt so warm and happy all over. So thankful.
"Mr. Zundel mentioned the nattering of geese. I heard same and went out to investigate.
"It proved to be a chorus of oy oy oy, oy Gotenyu, and oy gevalt coming from the direction of Canada."
Have a happy weekend!
Ingrid
Thought for the Day:
"We see the ultimate outcome of "multi-culturalism" - separate laws for different ethnic groups. You (are guilty of defaming) the memory of the dead - but only if you are claiming both that they did not die and that they are Jewish.
"These are special laws with known meanings. (You can defame) the Wehrmacht dead all you want - but not the Jewish undead."
