ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

January 19, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I have been eagerly following the announced global demonstrations 
against the looming Iraq War - and I was pleased to see that ,despite 
the cold weather, hundreds of thousands showed up in Washington, 
D.C., alone.  World-wide, the turnout was impressive.  The protest 
sign that I liked best said:  "There are no mass destruction weapons 
in Iraq.  Look for it in Israel."

Please go to http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/  and check out a few 
demonstrations.  I cannot imagine that this kind of public protest 
will not register with people who still could prevent World War III.

YOU SHOULD ALL BE VERY PROUD OF YOURSELVES.

REMEMBER THIS DAY. THIS DAY WE ALL SAW HISTORY MADE BEFORE OUR EYES. 
NEVER BEFORE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE IN SO MANY NATIONS STOOD TOGETHER 
FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE OF PREVENTING A WAR.. 

DESPITE THE MEDIA'S OBVIOUS AND HEAVY-HANDED ATTEMPTS TO DOWNPLAY THE 
SIZE OF TODAY'S PROTESTS (AS WELL AS UNDERMINE THEIR EFFECT WITH 
BOGUS POLLS CLAIMING 87% OF AMERICANS SUPPORT THE WAR), THE FACT IS 
THAT TODAY'S PROTESTS SET RECORDS. THE DC PROTEST MAY HAVE HAD A HALF 
MILLION, THE SAN FRANCISCO PROTEST AS MUCH AS A QUARTER MILLION. 
HUNDREDS OF SMALLER PROTESTS HAVE NOT EVEN BEEN REPORTED IN THE MEDIA 
AT ALL. 

AMERICANS HAVE SHOWN THE WORLD THAT THE US GOVERNMENT NO LONGER 
SPEAKS FOR OR ACTS FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. BUSH AND HIS FELLOW WAR 
BUFFS HAVE LOST THE ILLUSION OF PUBLIC SUPPORT. THE MEDIA'S BOGUS 
POLLS SHOWING 60 AND 80 PERCENT SUPPORT FOR THE WAR ARE LIES. HOW DO 
WE KNOW THIS? WHERE WERE THOSE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN AND SUPPORT THE 
WAR TODAY? EFFORTS WERE MADE TO FORM PRO-WAR DEMONSTRATIONS. FREE 
REPUBLIC CLAIMS THEY GOT 400 PEOPLE TO SHOW UP IN DC. 400 AGAINST 
400,000 IS NOT 60 OR 80 PERCENT SUPPORT, IT IS A TINY FRACTION OF A 
SINGLE PERCENTAGE POINT. IT IS A ROUTE. IT IS AM EMBARRASSMENT.  

TODAY PROVED BUSH DOES NOT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES 
WHEN HE MAKES WAR. THE MOMENT BUSH ATTACKS IRAQ HE ATTACKS EVERYTHING 
THE UNITED STATES EVER STOOD FOR, EVERY DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE THE 
GOVERNMENT CLAIMED TO UPHOLD, EVEN THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF THE NATION 
LAID DOWN BY THE FOUNDING FATHERS. 

LINCOLN SAID IT BEST, "A NATION OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND FOR 
THE PEOPLE". 

THE PEOPLE DO NOT WANT WAR, MR. BUSH.
