ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny: Now more than ever!

I had an interesting experience yesterday. A radio scout called me and was particularly persistent to get me on the air. I told him I was through with doing lapdog media, and to go to my website for enlightenment - or else, call my interim spokesperson. The scout would not give up, and inspiration struck. I said I would be willing to read a statement that I had prepared for a press release if he promised not to interrupt me and not edit anything out.

He agreed, and I had my say. I must say it felt good to be in the driver's seat that way.

Here is what I read - uninterrupted:

[START]

My husband is a German-born national who immigrated to Canada 42 years ago, when he was 19 years old. He does not have a criminal record either in Canada or in the United States. He has to his credit a number of highly publicized trials - in fact, spanning decades - initiated by individuals and organizations with a financial and emotional stake in a concerted campaign regarding what they call "the Holocaust". My husband did not ask for these trials - they did. In his own defense, he was forced to find out some facts regarding allegations that his father's generation went on a genocidal rampage to "...kill six million Jews by gassing." My husband has forensic and documentary evidence disputing these claims. I should also add that my husband financed and paid for his own defense, whereas he adversaries had the taxpayers of Canada and Germany finance theirs.

My husband and I met in 1994 and married in 2000. We are mature, responsible people. I am a naturalized citizen of the United States of America. My husband came to live with me on a visitor's visa, but we filed for what is called "Adjustment of Status" - in other words, permanent residency because he is married to a US citizen. We carefully followed the letter of the law. As required by the INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), he applied for, and obtained, a Social Security Number. He had himself fingerprinted. He went to have a physical and had himself immunized. He obtained a work permit. He has a valid driver's licence. We own a home in Sevierville. We befriended our neighbors - all lovely, helpful people who can vouch for our lifestyle. We were weeks away from opening an art gallery because my husband is a sensitive, award-winning artist who looked forward to merging with this community in a peaceful, civically responsible way.

When we applied to INS for "Adjustment of Status", we received a letter advising us that the paperwork required would take as long as 36 months. We had done all we were required to do - the only thing left was a hearing with an immigration judge who would ascertain that ours was a legal, bona fide marriage. We had one date for such a hearing, June 12, 2001. Our immigration attorney could not make it to this hearing and asked in writing to have this hearing re-scheduled. He never received a reply. After waiting for a year, in May of 2002, he wrote again, asking again to have this hearing re-scheduled, this time with a certified, return-receipt letter. Again, he received no reply. We have copies of these letters, even the date-stamped envelopes.

The INS officials claim these letters never reached them. Do they still exist in the INS files? Were they stolen? Were they destroyed? Were they lost due to clerical sloppiness? We don't know. We know that nobody warned us that, allegedly, our INS application had lapsed. We had no way of knowing.

On June 5, without any warning of any kind, five government officials appeared, arrested my husband. He asked if he could call his lawyer. He was told that he could not. I asked if I could call our lawyer. I was told that I could know. My husband was frisked like a common criminal, put in handcuffs and led away. He was thrown into maximum 23 hour detention in Blount County Jail. Not one government official saw fit to give me a call and explain. Not one INS officer has talked to me about this kidnapping of a law-abiding man with the help of government officials. We have not been able to get a judge to hear our case and determine what happened on the basis of the evidence we have. Two days ago I found out that a judge has signed an order barring my husband from returning to the United States for 20 years. For what? For having missed a hearing before an immigration judge that INS never saw fit to schedule?

I now find out that it was not a "criminal" arrest - that it was, as it is euphemistically called, a "civil" arrest. There was nothing civil about this arrest. It was a terrifying, frightening experience.

Through mainstream media we have learned that deportation to his native Germany is imminent. Germany has very strict laws against questioning any aspect of the Holocaust. They are called "defaming the memory of the dead." The penalty is five years in prison and huge fines. An accused is not allowed to bring his evidence - not even expert testimony to make his case. He is not allowed to present forensic evidence that many of the so-called Holocaust claims are false, since science does not lie - not even for a "Nazi." If an attorney attempts to defend an accused, such as my husband, the attorney is criminalized, too. If a judge rules on behalf of an accused, that judge will lose his licence -and his pension. It is impossible to get fairness on this loaded topic in Germany at the present time. If my husband is deported to Germany as a still German national, a conviction is a foregone conclusion.

What has he done except spoken his mind based on careful research and facts he knows the world should know? We were not hiding out in Tennessee. We bank and shop at Kroger's. We celebrated Christmas with our neighbors. We have never made a secret of the fact that we, as Germans and, both of us, as former war-time children, have a different point of view on certain aspects of World War II. We are not obligated to adopt the point of view of our adversaries who benefit financially and politically from having people believe a World War II and post-war propaganda myth we Germans, can prove to be false - if we're allowed to have a public forum. We have asked for such a forum - preferably a global forum - where we could lay out our evidence and our enemies could lay out theirs and have the people judge us on our merits and our evidence.

What I would like to know is this: Is the Constitution still in force? Is the Bill of Rights still in operation - or is it merely a platitude? If this country makes room for millions of illegal immigrants, does this country allow a man such as my husband, to live in peace where he can speak his truth as he has studied it and knows it? His only weapon is his fountain pen and a burning desire for justice. Or am I going to lose my husband for life - because he holds politically incorrect opinions and speaks as his conscience dictates?

I will be showing two videos on Sunday, 2 p.m. February 23 - one day after Washington's Birthday! One video explains my husband's civic activism, and one video is about my life. I have room for about 60 people. I ask all people of good will to come and inform themselves on what the Zundels are about. The videos are 90 minutes each, and there will be a coffee break. I am not sure I can arrange for chairs, but there is a brand new carpet - so bring a pillow; we may have sit on the floor.

Almost immediately I got some feedback:

Just heard you on the CJOB 680 Radio talk show hosted by Peter Warren. You did an excellent job. Although Warren classified it as "B.S." and propaganda, when he opened the phone lines to his listeners, the majority sided with you!

Its working, Ingrid, people are getting fed up with the " chosen people." Warren was telling people, which sided with you, that they were "full of it." So much for objectivity.

Warren finally stopped taking calls because he was getting clobbered in the opinion poll. Didn't look to good either for the "tribe."

Keep on fighting Ingrid, people are noticing!! Will be sending a letter to our minister of immigration, Coderre...

This item is in reference to the two polls, cnn and ctv, where our people, for once, showed unity and quick action. Both polls were suddenly pulled when Ernst had won around 46% of the vote.

A friend put the nail on the head, referring to Ernst:

He certainly deserves to have a fair hearing and the right to return to his home in Tennessee, however, he is the king-pin in an issue of global importance and if he is deported to Germany he will have an opportunity to have the issue debated in the centre of Europe, where he can hold his own quite comfortably I should think, and perhaps bring millions of people onto the side of Truth and Justice, especially Germans who have suffered far too long in imposed silence under the burden of Zionist anti-German hate propaganda and lies about the origin and events of the Second World War.

The more he is persecuted, the greater will be his stature and credibility, and the greater his impact in the life-or-death struggle with the Forces of Evil. To many, he will be seen as a hero. Please let me know if you come across more related items. All the best.

The Zundelsite is down again, due to lack of bandwidth. We paid for extra bandwidth, but it is a weekend, and no one there to fix it. But we did exceptionally well. We had more than 1 million hits in 12 days, and in ranking we moved from a respectable 190,000th to a smashing 20,000th.

=====

Finally, I did a little community event for our local people - about 10 people showed up, among them a retired judge and a Jewish woman telling us she was a Christian. It was an interesting experience. I showed a video of Ernst interviewing me on Lebensraum - one of my favored videos. I learned a thing or two. This approach has a lot of merit. I actually got a hearty bellylaugh out of the group when I said, "...now let me quote the Führer..." How easy it really is to de-condition people of their fears.

Tomorrow is an important day because Ernst will be before immigration. Ontario is snowed under, and I don''t know if there will be time to get the documents he needs. With dread in my heart, I hope for the best.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.
