March 1, 2005
Right to the end, the Canadian state has shown itself to be
mean spirited and paranoid in its handling of political prisoner, pacifist
publisher Ernst Zundel. Co-counsel Chi-Kun Shi wrote early today: “Ernst
was taken from Metro West this morning at 5 am. The person at Border
Services, Mr. Gordon Morris, who was in charge of the deportation and said
would advise us once Ernst had left is not available until March 3, 2005.”
It should be noted that Morris had promised to advise Peter Lindsay and Ms
Shi when Mr. Zundel was airborne. He must have had a two-day symposium at
Tim Horton’s Donuts that prevented him from fulfilling even this minimal
courtesy. His behavior is typical of the proxy Canadian bureaucracy.
Family
members and lawyers are normally advised of the flight and time of a
deportation. Once again, the Ottawa tyranny’s laughable obsession with “national
security” intervened. What real national security concern was there? Did
they really think Peter Lindsay would go berserk in the airport lounge and
start beating passengers senseless with his briefcase. No, “security”
had nothing to do with it, only the convenience of the human rights abusers
who wouldn’t want witnesses or photographs of a political prisoner being
loaded on to a plane.
So,
like a typical totalitarian state, the political prisoner was rousted from
his bed before dawn and whisked to the airport where, apparently, he was
flown in a chartered plane to Germany, and, then, taken to Mannheim. We
learned he had arrived about 10:00 p.m. German time.
A number of civil libertarians are now expressing uneasiness
about the secret trials and the summary deportation of a non-violent man,
labeled as a terrorist. This concern should be treated with the utmost
scorn. These shameless phonies have had nearly two years to get on board and
join the fight against secret trials. Alan Borovoy, the big noise with the
Canadian Civil Liberties Association, was called many times by one of the
Zundel lawyers. While in the office, he refused to take her calls.
Chi-Kun Shi said today: “Ernst Zundel has become a mirror
to look at ourselves and it’s not pretty. These secret trials are the real
enemy to civil liberties.”
