Washington, DC Zundel Protest: Threats, Violence No Deterrent to Activists

Message to Canadian embassy in Washington: Zundel must go free!

by M. P. Shiel and National Vanguard correspondents

FREE SPEECH and human rights demonstrators (pictured, top) including National Alliance activists protested in front of the Canadian embassy in Washington D.C, Saturday February 5th, to denounce the political kidnapping and illegal imprisonment of artist, writer, and thinker Ernst Zundel.

Pro-Zundel demonstrators were confronted by terrorist gang members and street thugs (pictured assembling near the police line they would soon breach, below) who attacked, threatened, and tried desperately to dismantle the peaceful protest. Not to be intimidated, the participants stood their ground and refused to leave the legally-sanctioned demonstration area.

On numerous occasions, supporters of Zundel were physically attacked when trying to enter the police-barricaded area. Virginia newspaper columnist David Mullenax, who arrived carrying a stack of protest signs, was blocked by three self-proclaimed “communists” who kicked him in his leg and simultaneously ripped and tore the signs from his arms. He sustained a bruise and a mild abrasion to his left leg, but otherwise escaped serious injury.

The peaceful demonstrators showed their resolve and resolutely held their signs high while chanting “Free Zundel!” to observers and passersby. Many bystanders approached the roped-off demonstration area to inquire about the protest. All were in agreement that imprisoning people without charge was a crime in itself.

Police officers at the scene performed satisfactorily at keeping the gang members out of the demonstration area, but were of no help in stopping “urine bombs” from entering the area and soaking some of the protesters. One Black police officer, who wore a “Vote NAACP” key ring, laughed in amusement as the terror gangs threatened and screamed profanities and insults. Threats of physical violence such as “We're going to cut you up you Nazi bastards!” and “We're going to bash your skulls in you f____ng Nazis!” were repeatedly yelled at the peaceful demonstrators. Some of the attackers even threatened the children of the police officers present: “Hey, do you have children?” one crazed thug asked. “Well, if you do, I'd keep my eye on them.” (Uniformed officers are required to wear name badges, making the threat credible.)

Employees in the Canadian embassy continually peered out of the windows of the building to watch the demonstration unfold. One employee was seen waving her arms to fellow workers so they too could witness the demonstration.

After the demonstration was over, a taxi service was called to transport the demonstrators back to their parking areas. After arriving at their cars, the participants met at a restaurant to discuss the day's events and to share in fellowship.

Event organizers will be calling the Canadian embassy on Monday to further explain their outrage over Zundel's imprisonment and their country's suppression of free speech. The “Shame on Canada” protest signs will be faxed to the embassy, and a Zundel booklet detailing the chronology of events will be mailed.

One Zundel supporter and National Alliance member stated that "Lessons were learned this time, not only by us but by every person who witnessed or heard about what happened in Washington yesterday. They can see which side was trying to suppress free speech -- which side was using violence -- and which side has honor and freedom and nobility on its side.

"Next time," he added, "don't let anything stop you from being there. This is where the battle for the hearts and minds of our people will be won; standing up publicly for truth and justice -- and against Jewish tyranny."

BREAKING: Terror Gang Attacks Zundel Protestors

News/Comment; Posted on: 2005-02-05 15:45:03 [ http://www.nationalvanguard.org/story.php?id=4579 ]

Urine bombs and physical attacks happening now.

A RECENT CELL PHONE CALL from newspaper columnist David Mullenax (pictured) revealed that the National Alliance members and other free speech supporters peacefully demonstrating in front of the Canadian Embassy in Washington, DC for the release of political prisoner Ernst Zundel have been attacked by the acknowledged terror gang calling itself "Anti Racist Action" (ARA). "It's really bad here," Mullenax stated. "We're surrounded and being attacked."

The gang members, who often disguise themselves with masks (contrary to law, but there are no known prosecutions of them on such a charge) and carry weapons, physically attacked the free speech supporters, tore their 'Shame on Canada!' signs, and began pelting the pro-freedom group with urine bombs -- all within sight of the police (30 officers and 6 mounted police), who mysteriously seemed unable to prevent the gang from attacking.

Mr. Mullenax did say that the police were making some efforts to keep the self-styled "anti-racist" gang from crossing the lines but it was obvious that they weren't entirely successful in doing this. There were no arrests of the attackers, though police were heard inquiring if the masked gang had a permit for their assembly (they did not). The gang repeatedly made death threats, not only to the pro-Zundel group, but even threatened the children of the uniformed police officers present, who by law wear name badges. It is obvious the attackers felt that the police had orders not to arrest them. Despite the provocations and numerous overt illegal and violent acts, the police did not arrest even a single one of the attackers.

The gang came equipped with several "tool kits" containing tire irons, wrenches, and other items to be used as weapons, and one gang member had numerous large bottles filled with human waste strapped to his body, which he went to refill at a nearby rendezvous point several times during the attack.

Pro-freedom demonstrators sustained bruises and one was drenched in human urine, but there were no serious injuries.

Despite the attacks, the free speech supporters held their ground and were not intimidated. Numerous passersby saw the confrontation and were very interested in finding out what the fuss was all about. The most consistent spectators were seen looking out of the windows of the Canadian Embassy.

National Alliance and other pro-free speech representatives will continue to communicate with Canadian officials, explaining in detail why they were there. The attacking gang is irrelevant, really. It is not relevant to the mission of the Alliance members or the other free speech supporters who spoke out today, except as a symptom of a much larger problem. Our audience -- the people we want to reach -- are the decent people who don't wear masks or attack peaceful protestors, the people who, if they knew all the facts, whatever their political position, would be outraged at the imprisonment without charge of pacifist writer and thinker Ernst Zundel.

UPDATE:

After the demonstration was over, gang members were overheard stating that they were sending scouting groups to several locations, including cab stands, parking lots, and the nearby Metro station, hoping to continue the attacks sans police presence. One pro-free-speech demonstrator had his cab surrounded, with manure, urine, and mud thrown at it; with attackers banging on the cab's windshield, windows, and trunk, with attackers screaming threats to kill the occupants and driver. The immigrant cab driver was terrified and had to be firmly instructed to drive forward to escape the attack -- which he did.

Investigations have revealed that the attacking gang has received government, Jewish, and foundation funds in the past, indicating that, though they pose as "radical," they are merely being used to do the illegal dirty work that the multiracialist establishment doesn't wish to risk doing itself.

Mr. Mullenax states there will be more details on this story tomorrow.
