After some six or so hours of sleep, I am ready to take on the Censorship Foe. The first night I met Ernst, I told him, referring
confidently to my PR skills: "I know I can give you America..." Now it looks like I'm challenged to give him the world.
To paraphrase President Bush, who spoke in a far more belligerent context than I would ever dare, "...are you with me or are you
against me?"
I know that my readers are "with me."
Your mail has been just wonderful, and I shall post some excerpts separately on the Zundelsite for people to take heart. The media
exposure has been spectacular once more, though most of it was poison. Still, it didn't cost us a penny - the enemy triggered it
all.
Regarding local media, there were two first-page write-ups in my county and city papers - the first one not too bad except for the
inflammatory headline, "Neo-Nazi activist detained in Blount jail", and the second, I am told, actually quite fair. I haven't seen it
yet, but I am already planning an event of which you will learn more as soon as plans are firm.
My memory would not release the term last night that I was fishing for: The practice of moving a "prisoner" from one floor to another
and from one prison to another to prevent an organized protest campaign is called
"Diesel Therapy." I fear for Ernst that something
like that is in store - along with other harassment practices.
By the way, somebody on my list was wondering if it could be coincidence that Joschka Fisher, Germany's foreign minister and
flaming Marxist, just "happened" to be in this country. I didn't know that Joschka was here, but he is surely no friend of Ernst's -
or of the Internet. It's Joschka, you must know, who tried to shut it down world-wide on more than one occasion.
I asked for your input on how to handle lapdog media. I have had many responsible, thoughtful replies. I also talked my ideas over
with Ernst, and he agrees with my conclusion to put ourselves smack in the driver's seat and let the
Schmierfinks come to us.
Nonetheless, let's look at various suggestions:
# 1. Readers suggesting that we grit our teeth - since a smidgen of news, even though negative, is still vastly better than nothing:
I'm not thrilled with it. While the internet is revolutionizing the way information is distributed, it's not yet
mature. Not enough people are connected. We still need to get the message out via the traditional, Jewish-dominated ways. I say you
should take every radio, TV, and newspaper interview opportunity presented to you. Even if we're cast in a negative light, some
lemmings may be able to see the truth because of the interview/article.
I think it's a serious misconception to blow off establishment channels and exaggerate the importance of the valuable
but still (in the eyes of John Q. Public) essentially "underground" I-Net. With the industrial mass media and its two-day attention
span, Ingrid, you must strike while the iron is hot. I worked in the Biz for years, and what we used to call the "First Day Story" always
had the most bang for the buck. You should be hammering away at all available channels. Or so it seems to me."
Once you have legal advice, I think you should take advantage of the opportunity to defend Ernst through the media, and if
appropriate charge them for your cooperation. Perhaps you could get articles in some of the mainline media. You have an outstanding
talent as an author and are most familiar with the subject matter, therefore you are ideally situated to represent not only Ernst but
the movement as a whole, which could certainly use the exposure.
I personally feel that you should use every form of media you can to get this out to the public. There is something fishy going on
with all of the recent arrests, and the general public needs to be made aware.
You wanted feedback about your idea NOT to give interviews to the mainstream media. What is important at this point is to keep the
media focused on this issue by whatever means, even if it means giving interviews. We need to expose the truth by whatever means.
That is my advice.
What a golden opportunity to expose the real agenda of regional domination by Israel! What a golden opportunity to expose
the numerous "holocausts" of Christians during the 20th century by Jewish communists, e.g., the Ukrainian holocaust in the 1930s, the
German holocaust 1945-1950, the holocausts outlined by James Bacque in "Other Losses" and his other books, and the holocaust detailed by
John Sacks in "An Eye for an Eye" against Christian men, women, and children by Jews seeking revenge! Even a few words on behalf of the
Palestinians could assist our cause and lay bare the pro-Israel bias in the media.
# 2 Readers urging me to seize the initiative and turn down mainstream media:
Excellent! Make them come to you. And even after your lawyers allow you to deal with the media, if they do, don't get into
a situation in which YOU are not in control of the discussion.
Your track record for wise strategy decisions is quite good, so if you think & feel it is right, I say "Damn the torpedoes, FULL
SPEED AHEAD!" God bless and protect the Zundels.
I think it may be the wisest method of all, as it is quite difficult to be misquoted either accidentally or on purpose, when
your comments are already in print, from which they must gather their information.
I think this is wise and prudent. It would be foolish to grant interviews to the media, which is completely controlled by the
enemy. You all have our prayers. Eventually the dark night of deception and false "history" must pass, as all nights do. The
revisionists will be recognized as the true historians of that era.
I agree that Ingrid should ignore the filthy media. We know how slanted they are and how they distort the truth of so many
situations. The longer she can ignore the media the better for her and for truth. Perhaps when the media are sufficient starved for the
truth they might actually want to print an unbiased account.
You are absolutely right! The greatest weapon God has given us in our fight against Jewish tyranny is the Internet, and the Jews
hate it!
I think you're right about the media. It's their ballpark, although it would be interesting for you to take Sean Hannity on, but
he would only interrupt you and never let you say anything. Right on! Stick to your guns!
I believe the best advice I got is from a friend of mine, a medical doctor under the gun by orthodox medicine for her "heretical" views:
I agree with you to stay with the internet rather than with the commercial media. As you know, I have had vast experience with
the commercial media: Nightline, CNN Crossfire, Oprah Winfrey, Larry King Live, CBS news interviews, Sally Jesse Raphael, Leeza, 60
Minutes, and many, many more, plus over 800 radio shows. (Some of the radio shows are O.K.) I was very naive at first. I thought that if
I could just get the accurate information out, reasonable people would understand and do the right thing.
Over time I learned that the ONLY reason they wanted me on the various shows was to try to
DESTROY me and my reputation and to try to make me look like a fool (which they were never able to do). My
opponents (naturally they wanted to have a "balanced" show - which ALWAYS meant that they would promote
THEIR agenda ONLY) would always be from the tribe.
They would be rude, obnoxious, never let me finish a sentence, start shouting at me, lie and do all the things they have learned how to do
so well.
The only show that came close to giving me a fair shake was 60 Minutes, and that was probably because of God's intervention (the
producer of the show, also from the tribe, turned out to be someone who was quite unusual, he wanted to know truth).
I was on the (name deleted) show and the audience was so supportive of me (something that shocked the producers) that they refused to air
the show. (By the way, before the show, [the show's host, name deleted] talked to me privately and told me he agreed with me but his
producers wanted me trashed. ) (...)
During every time-out for a commercial, there was a young man hired by the network to go into the audience to "rev" them up. He would
say to them while pointing to me, "Stand up and tell her she's crazy, don't let her talk like that. Come on, tell her she's stupid!" And
on, and on.
(...) I vowed at that time NEVER again to go on their territory willingly. There is NOTHING good that can come out of it. They will
distort, pervert, outright lie and do ANYTHING deceitful, dishonest or even criminal in order to promote their agenda. How well you and
Ernst must know that!
Stay where YOU have the control on the information YOU put out, rather than letting them edit and distort your remarks, which they
will ALWAYS do!
Given these "pro" and "con" letters, and adding my own experience, I draw the following conclusion:
On balance, our cooperation with lapdog media has yielded precious little for truth in history, if anything at all. I am hard-pressed
to think of a single example in decades of trying and begging to let us have a voice.
No more. It did not work - not ever!
Folk wisdom has it that the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again - and expect different results.
I say we HAVE the internet. We need to USE the internet.
I did just that. Please take a look:

This has been followed up in a Letter to the Editor:
Thank you for today's largely balanced coverage of the illegal arrest of my husband, Ernst Zundel - for having missed an immigration
hearing of which he was not notified.
There is one item that I feel I must correct: Ernst did not leave Canada after he was ordered to shut down "his" website - it was, and
is, my website, as everybody knows.
Ernst Zundel left after Canada's Human Rights Tribunal ruled that "Truth is not a defense."
To get that Human Rights obscenity written into law, Canadian taxpayers paid through the nose. Ernst paid his own defense.
Now you are one Ernst Zundel poorer and one disgusting hate law richer. Who made the better deal?
Ingrid Zundel
Let's do it smartly and efficiently. Not only can we do it, we can also lead the way. I believe that the dissident movement ought to
completely divorce itself from mainstream media and work hard and determined to create their own voice. The lapdog media needs us more
than we need them. We only need to find our kind of people who respond to what we say.
On principle, I will no longer make myself available to any mainstream media - with two exceptions:
1. I will do local media because I have to survive in this town and need to show myself as a mature and responsible neighbor, and
2. I will cooperate if mainstream media submits written questions. I will reply in email so as to have a record of what I said and what
got into print.
No other way. That's it.
Let's make ourselves scarce and play haughty. The information we are eager to get out is all available in cyberspace. If media whores
then lie about us, their lies will burn their faces.
Here's how I would like you to act:
-
No matter what you do, no matter who you contact - always,
always refer them to www.zundelsite.org The site is not that hard to
remember. Simply say: "Take a look. And decide for yourself."
-
Take a look at the new Zundelsite logo, http://www.zundelsite.org/graphics/zundelroped.jpg Is there a
space on your own home page where it could land as a convenient link?
-
A useful saying has it that one does not need to eat a sheep
in order to know what a cutlet tastes like. Don't bother with a dissertation - just send them to our door.
-
We will have provocative Zundelsite audio. In a few days,
we're starting with an audio called "Setting the Record Straight."
It is Ernst Zundel Pure, right after the arson he suffered at the Canadian Zundel-Haus in 1995.
-
If people are not interested, let's let them go their merry
way. We are not interested in numbers; we're interested in quality. We're the best. Let's surround ourselves with the best. Contact
people with brains, not just brawn. Tell them about our campaign.
-
Each one of us needs to decide where our talents lie. Are
you best at writing letters to the editor? Can you befriend a national voice by targeting his conscience? Are you good at doing
mechanical internet work such as searching out sources advocating free speech, immigration reform organizations, patriot groups,
student activist organizations? Can you collect government contacts where pressure needs to be applied? if nothing else, do you have
your own circle of friends who would chip in and purchase a tape to be viewed in small groups of like-minded people? Use your
imagination.
-
Please let your alternative media know that I am wide open to
THEM! A start will be the Rense Show, tomorrow 10. p.m.
We in the patriot, dissident movement have been reactive for
decades, begging and groveling for some tiny crumbs of exposure, always on the receiving end of horrible abuse - and never getting a
fair shake. Never! We have been slandered, smeared and vilified with utterly shameless tactics - and we could never get a handle on
"our thing". To vent our anger, we have complained endlessly, but mostly to each other. We have permitted our enemies to write the
script for us.
I say: No more! As far as I am concerned, from now on I am in control.
More about strategies and plans tomorrow!
Ingrid
