First, to the one below. The headline says it all. The
Zionist-beholden Government of Canada: "If you're a terrorist, we'll
let you free. If you are innocent, we'll keep you in jail. He he."
Have our enemies ever more clearly revealed their poisonous
claws - and their agenda? I haven't talked to Ernst about this latest, but
as far as I know him, he'll NEVER agree to this deal. He will stay in prison
- but it is already shaping up, as he put it recently:
"Perversely, I am worth more to the movement in prison
than I would be on the outside."

ADMIT YOU'RE A TERRORIST & WE'LL LET YOU GO, FEDS
TELL ZUNDEL
Dear Free Speech Supporter:
Have I got a deal for you!
The Federal Government, through sneaky leaks, seems to be
recognizing the emptiness of its lying case against Ernst Zundel: that
somehow this gentle artist, this pacifist, is a terrorist, supporter of
violence, and, therefore, a threat to Canada's national security.
Now, via press leak, they seem to be offering him a
"deal": plead guilty to being a terrorist and threat to national
security and they'll let him go -- to prison in Germany or to a safe third
country.
It's a secular, watered down version of the Devil's deal
offered Christ in the New Testament when He was fasting and tormented in
the desert.
Luke 4:6
6) And the devil said unto him, All this power will I
give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me and to
whomsoever I will I give it.
7) If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be
thine.
Ernst Zundel can never lie and say to the
minority-directed Canadian government that he is a threat to national
security. He is a non-violent seeker after truth, an historical
revisionist, the sort of feisty intellectual who would be seen as an asset
to any free state. However, in the stifled, totalitarian land of political
correctness, any independent mind is seen as a threat.

Feds offer to set Zundel free if he'll agree he's
security threat says lawyer
By BRUCE CHEADLE
OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government offered to set jailed
Holocaust-denier Ernst Zundel free to travel to the country of his choice
if he would plead guilty to being a national security threat, says his
lawyer.
And a senior government source told The Canadian Press the
national security certificate could still be dropped altogether if Zundel
would return immediately to his native Germany.
"We'd gladly buy Zundel a ticket back to Germany
tomorrow," said the federal source.
But Germany, where Zundel faces up to five years in prison
on charges of suspicion of incitement of hatred, is the last place he
wants to go.
Zundel remains in solitary confinement at Toronto's Metro
West Detention Centre awaiting his next Federal Court hearing on July 28
and weighing his options, say confidantes.
"As far as accepting deportation to Germany, I don't
believe that's on, at least when I visited him a week ago," said Paul
Fromm, a free speech advocate and sometime legal adviser.
In fact, both federal offers amount to the same thing,
Zundel's lawyer Doug Christie said in an interview: "It's the chute
that leads to the slaughterhouse."
Christie said Donald MacIntosh, the senior immigration
lawyer Ottawa assigned to the Zundel case, proposed to set the 64-year-old
German national free "only if he pleads guilty to being a security
threat."
"And if he does that no other country (but Germany)
will take him. Checkmate. Germany has the most repressive laws in Europe
to enforce the state religion of German guilt for the Holocaust."
Zundel has been in running legal skirmishes for at least a
decade because of his published writings and Web site glorifying Nazism,
denying the Holocaust and alleging a global Jewish conspiracy.
Federal officials are predictably reluctant to be seen
negotiating any kind of deal.
A spokesman for Immigration Minister Denis Coderre was
tight-lipped.
"Things are before the courts right now and we have
to let due process take it's course," Mark Dunn said.
Zundel has been behind bars since February, when he was
deported to Canada from the United States for overstaying a visitor's
visa. Zundel immediately applied for refugee status in Canada, claiming
he'd be persecuted if he was deported to Germany.
The Solicitor General and Immigration Department responded
by slapping him with a security certificate declaring him a threat to
national security.
A Federal Court judge is in the process of deciding
whether the certificate is reasonable based on secret evidence from the
Canadian Security and Intelligence Service.
Immigration lawyer Lorne Waldman said he would find it
very troubling if Ottawa were to use the security certificate process as
leverage in immigration matters.
"What they were trying to do by using the security
process was to prevent him from having a refugee claim," said
Waldman, who was quick to add he holds "no sympathy at all" for
Zundel personally. He believes Zundel's refugee claim was frivolous and
could have been easily rejected.
"It causes me some concern that the government would
be issuing the certificate and then negotiating with Mr. Zundel,"
Waldman added.
"If they have the evidence in the certificate, they
should proceed with the process."
But Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress said
getting Zundel permanently out of Canada is what matters. Farber doesn't
care where he ends up.
"People would always like to see someone like Zundel
face justice in Germany," he said.
"But I think for most Canadians, their bottom line is
we don't want Ernst Zundel in Canada. If there's another country out there
willing to take him, they're welcome to him."
Zundel, who lived in Canada for 40 years without being
granted citizenship, would like to return to the United States, where his
American wife lives in Tennessee, says Fromm. But it's not at all clear
that Zundel's destination of choice would accept him.
The newly created U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
contacted Friday and told of the case, couldn't immediately comment on
Zundel's status.
