ZGram - 2/26/2003 - "Canadian lapdog media smears"

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

February 26, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I talked briefly to Ernst this morning - he usually can only call for 
10 minutes per day.  He has been denied bail - supposedly, he is 
AGAIN considered a "security risk to Canada", according to his Jewish 
detractors, and facing interrogation from CSIS, the Canadian Civilian 
Spy Agency, kind of a mirror brother to Mossad. 

In 1996, if I am correct, this story of "Ernst the Terrorist" was 
first cooked up by , but it came in the wake of the arson and the 
bomb meant to kill him, and there was more than just a little 
suspicion by people in the know - and even in law enforcement! - that 
the Usual Suspect not only knew about these terrorist acts AGAINST 
Ernst but might have had a hand in it.  (Readers please take note 
that in 1995, there were 7 major terrorist attacks in Canada, TWO of 
which were directed AT Ernst, NOT caused by Ernst!  In more than four 
decades of his adult life, Ernst has NEVER engaged or endorsed ANY 
kind of violence!  EVER!)

A hardcover has come out recently, titled "Covert Entry" written by a 
Canadian investigative reporter, Andrew Mitrovica, that talks about 
CSIS, this nefarious Canadian Civilian Spy Agency, knowing that a 
parcel bomb meant for Ernst Zundel was in transit via commercial 
airline from the West Coast.  CSIS warned their own undercover agent 
not to touch that parcel - but did not see fit to warn Ernst - or, 
for that matter, the unsuspecting airline passengers!   Only through 
divine intervention did Ernst not open that parcel.  He sensed that 
something wasn't right.  This is the kind of story that will be shown 
in the movies one day - and by no means has it dropped into the 
memory hole!

Now SCIS, Ernst's arch enemies, are going to interrogate him once 
more - in camera, which means that media or observers will not be 
allowed.  Ernst will not know the charges against him, nor will he 
know who made them.  Stalinism, pure and raw.  That the Canadian 
authorities will allow this is possible only because of decades of 
Zundel demonization by mainstream media - and a backlash is already 
building, as you can read between the lines in the Kurz article below.

Marvin Kurz, well known to us from previous Zundel trials where he 
plied his trade as a Talmudic attorney, did the kind of slime piece I 
am referring to on Ernst in today's issue of the Globe and Mail.  As 
you read it, consider the source - Kurz is national legal counsel of 
the League for Human Rights of B'nai Brith Canada.

Globe and Mail

The recent barrage of publicity about Ernst Zundel and his ludicrous claim
for refugee status calls to mind an old joke.

Two elderly Jewish men were sitting on a park bench, discussing current
events. The first man, Sidney, sighed and said: "I don't listen to the news
any more. It's too depressing. All I hear is news about war, death and
terrorism. Worst of all, Israel is blamed for everything."

His friend, Harry, shakes his head. "I read the papers all the time," he
says. "The Arabic newspapers from the Middle East. Every day, there are
stories about how the Jews control the banks and the newspapers. We even
secretly rule the world. When I read that, I don't feel so bad."

This little tale illustrates the most profound irony in Ernst Zundel's
return to the news. Forget the fact that his application for refugee status
makes a mockery of Canadian sanctuary for the persecuted. Forget that he
previously renounced his Canadian home. The real irony is far sadder. His
latest brush with fame coincides with the first anniversary of the horrific
murder of journalist Daniel Pearl, a Jew. Mr. Zundel did not kill Daniel
Pearl. But Mr. Pearl's murder was caused by a hatred of Jews that Mr.
Zundel and his ilk have eagerly spread throughout the Muslim and Arab world
for decades.

Mr. Zundel is notorious for denying the Holocaust, but what is not so well
known is that he was originally tried in 1985 on two separate charges of
spreading false news. The better-known charge concerned the publication of
a Holocaust-denial booklet. The lesser-known charge was for his pamphlet
titled "The West, War and Islam!" Mr. Zundel distributed this tract widely,
from Morocco to Pakistan. It alleged a Jewish conspiracy "against the
Islamic peoples" and called for Islamic nations to mount a campaign against
"Zionist disinformation and hate propaganda."

He has luridly described Jews as "a rather paranoid, shrill, whining group
of shysters, common racketeers, distorters of history, falsifiers of
documents who created a gangster enclave in the Middle East called Israel."

Sadly, Mr. Zundel's Islamic project has succeeded far beyond his deluded
dreams. In the past decade, Holocaust denial and anti-Semitic conspiracy
theories have become part of mainstream thought in many Muslim and Arab
countries. Mr. Zundel's relentless pamphleteering and Internet
propagandizing have powerfully abetted this process.

A look at the anti-Semitic Web site, Radio Islam, is instructive. It
displays several quotes from Mr. Zundel, links to Mr. Zundel's "The West,
War and Islam" pamphlet, and proudly shows photographs of the works of Mr.
Zundel and French anti-Semite Roger Garaudy, on sale in prominent Cairo
bookstores.

On his own Web site, Mr. Zundel attests to the authenticity of The
Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the most dangerous hate-propaganda tract
of the past century. Its fabricated allegations of an international Jewish
conspiracy inspired Hitler to write Mein Kampf and call for the
extermination of the Jews.

The Protocols were available in Egypt in the 1950s, but eventually fell out
of favour. However, new editions have been published since the 1990s. After
the events of Sept. 11, The Protocols has taken on a life of its own in the
Muslim and Arab worlds.

This past Ramadan, a 41-part miniseries based on The Protocols was shown on
Egyptian television. It described the founding of Israel as part of an
international Jewish conspiracy. Newspapers in Pakistan, where Daniel Pearl
was murdered, and throughout the Middle East, recalled the conspiracy
theories of The Protocols when they blamed the Israelis for the events of
Sept. 11.

There can be no doubt that a corrosively anti-Semitic ideology motivated
the fanatics who murdered Daniel Pearl. With no interest in a ransom, they
singled out their Jewish victim for kidnaping and murder. In the year that
has passed since Daniel Pearl's murder, Mr. Zundel has remained
unrepentant. He continues to operate his Web site in defiance of the
cease-and-desist order of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. The hatred
that he has spent decades spreading continues to flourish.

On the other hand, Daniel Pearl's family has created a foundation in his
memory. Its mission is to "promote cross-cultural understanding through
journalism, music, and innovative communications." Remarkably, Mr. Pearl's
father has emerged as a voice of reason and reconciliation. Perhaps the
final irony is that the Pearl family understands the need to move beyond
hate, while Mr. Zundel remains obsessed with disseminating it.

While Canada does not need the likes of Ernst Zundel, neither does the
Middle East nor the Muslim world. Better that Harry has nothing good to
read about, than more of Mr. Zundel's lies.

[END]

Needless to point out that this article contains a number of lies, 
but what is much more telling are the omission items.  What Mr. Kurz 
neglects to say is that Ernst was cleared of the charge of "false 
news" pertaining to this four-page article, "The West, War and 
Islam."  The jury did not find him guilty.  The essay itself makes 
the point that the Arabs ought to buy historical information rather 
than guns, bullets and cannons.  He wrote and distributed it more 
than 20 years ago.  A terrible suggestion, isn't it - when Israel 
howls for war? 

Now I let Professor Countess address himself to another article that 
appeared in the National Post that tries to smear both Ernst and Mark 
Weber with the "terrorist" brush:

[START]

Dear NP:

  I have grave concerns about your implications that Ernst Zundel, and 
now Mark Weber, are somehow tied in with Islamic terrorists, 
especially since you do not present hard evidence.

  However, since the modus operandi of many media outlets is to LAUNCH 
a story with slime against a target-sort of like Stalin and his 
fellow-Bols were experts at doing-and then, if necessary, post a 
minor RETRACTION of the story in fine print buried somewhere in a 
section not normally read by the same people who would read the major 
slant story in the first place.

  Since "A free press belongs to the man who owns one," I cannot 
manage to prohibit your paper from engaging in this sort of Mossad 
type smear journalism, but at least I can register my disapproval.

  Mossad, Victor Ostrovsky wrote in his BY WAY OF DECEPTION book a 
decade ago, can take YOUR or MY fingerprints off a restaurant coffee 
cup and place them at any crime scene it wishes to. THUS, neither you 
nor I am safe from skullduggery by evil people and evil organizations 
of the Mossad ilk.

  While I am pleased to indicate that I have known Mr. Zundel for over 
a decade, I would criticize him or anyone else who might have 
"ties"--as nebulous as that may mean to journalists-to Islamic 
terrorists; but then, I would criticize Elie Wiesel and Edgar 
Bronfmann and Abe Foxman and Sabina Citron and the Farber ilk for 
their clear ties to Zionist extremists.  Terrorists and extremists 
are to be condemned in my book, regardless of their ethnic 
designation.

  Since Mr. Zundel is a known pacifist and since I have conversed with 
him many times on many subjects, I have always noted a calm and 
rational presentation of facts and opinions he offers on politics and 
history and racial problems and, of course, the Jewish Problem. 
   Canadian journalists have jumped on a bandwaggon of calling him a 
"nazi" or "neonazi" or worse and in doing so, without evidence, have 
joined in smearing this highly intelligent, gifted, and humane member 
of the Homo Sapiens species.

  Canada could hardly do better than to grant immediate citizenship to 
 Ernst Zundel today and get this horrible period of persecution 
behind it, but since the ADL would not permit-repeat: NOT PERMIT-the 
government of the People of Canada to act so graciously and humanely, 
I see only years of added turmoil ahead for him and for the taxpayers 
of the Dominion.

  Deportation?  Better to deport the  entire ADL staff and membership 
to their beloved primary nation of 'Eretz Yisrael" than to deport 
Ernst Zundel to the German Gulag system for Orwellian "Crimethink" 
farces.

  Canada deserves better than you journalists who have no real 
yearning for complete stories and hard evidence. Canada deserves what 
a noted French Professor, Robert Faurisson-almost murdered in broad 
daylight by three Jewish criminals in 1989-EXACTITUDE.  Appears to me 
that the National Post is not committed to pursuing and printing 
EXACTITUDE but rather VERISIMILITUDE instead.

  What a shame for a modern nation that prides itself on being a 
liberal democracy!

Sincerely,
