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

March 23, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I need your help.  There will be an immigration hearing regarding 
Ernst's deportation from the US to Canada on March 31, 2003.  We need 
some US-based media there.

I ask each and every one of you to send the News Alert below to at 
least one prominent news source - be it your city paper, your 
favorite columnist, an energetic commentator, your television 
station, your network radio, your alternative media.  It is okay to 
contact your local media - they are going to pass on the story.  It 
is more effective if they do it - rather than you.

Please be creative.  Contact at least one media source!  It is 
extremely important!  Faxes work better than email.  Please do it now!

News Alert - Breaking Story...

HUSBAND HELD AS HOSTAGE...FOR A WEBSITE?

Ingrid Rimland and Ernst Zundel have been married for three years. 
Rimland is a one-time child psychologist who made a name for herself 
as an award-winning ethnic novelist.  Zundel is a noted artist - and 
controversial human rights activist.

"If somebody smashes your window," says Rimland, "there is a 
consequence.  There will be punishment.   Law enforcement will be on 
your side.  If you are politically incorrect and somebody smashes 
your marriage, there is no recourse whatsoever.  Your husband will be 
snatched from you and barred from the United States for - get this! - 
twenty years!"

Zundel, who lived in Canada for more  than four decades before his 
marriage to Rimland,  is a high-profile publisher and broadcaster 
best known for having initiated the first ever forensic 
investigations of Auschwitz and other Third Reich concentration camps 
- and for his highly publicized Free Speech Holocaust Trials spanning 
decades.  Rimland runs a website called the Zundelsite, one of the 
best-known historical revisionist websites.

"My husband can't come back to live with me in the United States for 
the next twenty years" says Rimland.  "He has been given a medieval 
sentence - without a judge, without a jury, without an arrest warrant 
even.  Ten years for having missed an immigration hearing!  Ten years 
for having overstayed his visa.  Am I still living in America - or am 
I living in the Soviet Union?"

Rimland is a United States citizen.  Her website, www.zundelsite.org 
, has been the target of repeated censorship attempts by Canada and 
Germany.  Her husband, says Rimland, has now been taken hostage to 
force her to take the Zundelsite down.

"My husband's arrest was a political hit," Rimland says.  "We fought 
Canadian censorship for five long years before one of those atrocious 
so-called "Human Rights" Tribunals - and gave up only after Truth was 
declared to be no longer a defense."

Since their marriage in 2000, they lived quietly among congenial 
neighbors in the hills of Tennessee - until three Immigration agents, 
accompanied by local law enforcement officials, came roaring up their 
driveway, spread-eagled Zundel brutally against a truck, snapped 
handcuffs on his wrists and whisked him away.   Zundel is presently 
held in a maximum security setting in Canada, where he has asked for 
asylum as a political refugee.

Both Zundel and Rimland insist they did everything they were 
instructed to do by their immigration attorney to secure permanent 
residence for Zundel after their marriage in January of 2000.

"This country is crawling with illegal immigrants," Rimland says. 
"My husband was here legally.  Our papers were being processed.  We 
had no warning that this arrest was planned or imminent.  We were not 
allowed to call an attorney, although we both requested it.  Are we 
allowed to doubt the Holy Ghost - but not the Holocaust?"

"US public officials were used shamelessly" claims Rimland, "to act 
as hit squads for the Canadian Jewish Lobby.  As far as I am 
concerned, this immigration charge is just a fig leaf for nefarious 
powers to hide behind.  My husband has been kidnapped to force me to 
give up free speech."

What is behind this story?  What caused this unusual arrest?
