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

=46ebruary 23, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

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 with 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.

=46inally, 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 F=FChrer..."  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.
