ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny: Now more than ever!
I missed two calls from Ernst yesterday because I had to run
errands - therefore I cannot give you any new update on where the struggle
is. I could use lots of input from my libertarian readers, German sources,
Freedom-of-Speechers etc. on the difference between German law and
American/Canadian law regarding Freedom of Speech in the respective
countries. Also, I could use information on how prisoners are treated in
German jails, and on by what criteria initial jail terms are prolonged, once
a prisoner is in detention and cannot really fight back.
For yesterday's ZGram, I have this update on Mel Gibson, one
of my favorite actors ever since "The Patriot":
Gibson Family Under Fire for Anti-Semitism:
[START]
LOS ANGELES / ABC - Mel Gibson and his parents are under
fire today from a leading Jewish group for reportedly anti-semitic impulses
in the former's new film and the latter's denial that Al Qaeda executed the
Sept. 11 attacks.
The actor's father, Hutton Gibson, told The New York Times
he flatly rejected that the terrorist group led by Osama bin Laden had any
role in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Sept. 11.
"Anybody can put out a passenger list," the elder
Gibson told The Times.
"So what happened? They were crashed by remote
control."
He and the actor's mother, Joye Gibson, also told The Times
that the Holocaust was a fabrication manufactured to hide an arrangement
between Adolf Hitler and "financiers" to move Jews out of Germany
to the Middle East to fight Arabs.
"Go and ask an undertaker or the guy who operates the
crematorium what it takes to get rid of a dead body," Hutton Gibson
told The Times. "It takes one liter of petrol and 20 minutes. Now six
million?"
Said Joye Gibson: "That weren't even that many Jews in
all of Europe."
Rabbi Marvin Hier, head of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, shot
back.
"To bigots and antisemites, no amount of evidence of
scientific proof is ever enough. In their world, only hate matters."
The comments from the Gibson family come just after the
actor built a church in near Malibu that caters to a revisionist version of
Catholocism. According to The Times, the church has a congregation of 70,
including the star of such films as "Braveheart" and
"Conspiracy Theory."
Mel Gibson, a devout Catholic, is directing and co-wrote an
upcoming movie "The Passion," rooted in a theological movement
known as Catholic traditionalism that seeks to return the faith to its
pre-1962 period, before the Pope issued what is known as Vatican II, a
series of proclamations that did away with the notion that Jews were
responsible for the crucifixion of Jesus.
"If the new film seeks to undo that," Hier told
The Times, "it would not be uncovering truth. Rather, it would unleash
more of the scurrilous charges...directed against the Jewish people, which
took the Catholic Church 20 centuries to finally repudiate."
