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

March 27, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

There is nothing new to report about Ernst Zundel.  We are all 
waiting what Monday will bring.  In the meantime, some of you would 
like to listen to Ernst in an *unedited* tape called "The Fifth 
Estate":

I thought for today I would bring you two letters from former Allied 
soldiers who now look at the war they fought in their youth and ask 
themselves:  "For this?"

THE FIRST LETTER is to the President of the United States and is 
representative of hundreds that I have received:

[START]

Dear Mr. President:

While we have been off stamping out terrorism and fighting for human 
rights around the globe, a terrible thing has happened in the land. 
A gang of heavily armed thugs arrested a gentleman and hauled him off 
to jail.  They claimed to be from the Immigration Service.  In New 
York Harbor stands the Statue of Liberty, welcoming people to 
America.  This thought prevails throughout the land as we welcome 
strangers from all points of the globe.  Now this gentleman arrived 
openly with his personal belongings.  He did not sneak across the 
border at night.  He did not bring in drugs or other contraband.

We must ask why Mr. Ernst Zundel of Pigeon Forge, Tenn. was singled 
out for unusual attention.  He was denied access to an attorney;  in 
fact his wife had to surmount difficulties before even she could 
visit him in jail.

This is not the America I grew up in and know.  This country bends 
over backwards to even safeguard the rights of mass murderers - even 
if  they are non-citizens.  Why this illegal persecution of Mr. 
Zundel?

Mrs. Ernst Zundel is a citizen of our country and Mr. Zundel has 
certain privileges and rights as a spouse of an American citizen.  I 
ask:  Why  have these rights been trampled on ?  I can only surmise 
that there has been some sort of administrative error.

Therefore, Mr. President, as a church-goer, as a champion of law and 
order, as a supporter of right and justice, I call on you to right 
the wrongs imposed on Mr. Zundel.  I call on you to return Mr. Ernst 
Zundel to family and friends, so that this veteran can remain proud 
of the flag under which he served.

[END]

THE SECOND LETTER is addressed to to Denis Coderre, Minister of 
Citizenship and Immigration, Canada, who actually went public with 
threats against Ernst to advertise his loyalty to what we sometimes 
call the Shrill Minority.  Coderre actually said:  "Watch me kick 
Zundel out!"  He will be remembered for that one!

[START]

Dear Mr. Coderre:

I just read in today's Toronto Star that you made it clear to the 
press that you won't allow "Holocaust denier" Ernst Zundel to 
manipulate the system to draw out his stay in Canada.  Are you 
inferring that in his case due process of the law  will be 
circumvented?   How can a law that applies to everyone be 
manipulated?  By inference you thereby make a mockery of our 
so-called Bill of Rights and Freedoms which supposedly guarantees 
freedom of speech, assembly, religion, even thought etc. Which of 
these, or what laws are you accusing Ernst Zundel of trying to 
manipulate?  Selective justice is not justice.  Or are you not 
concerned about that?

Zundel's enemies and the controlled media regularly refer to him as a 
hate monger.  He has been so vilified by an all-powerful pressure 
group in connivance with a compliant one-sided media that Canadians 
consequently know nothing positive about the man.  What they say 
about him in the media is a complete contradiction of what he really 
is, a peaceful human being to whom the truth is omnipotent.  He found 
out in a "Human Rights Court" in which the chairman (not a judge) had 
the gall to state for the record that "truth is no defense", even 
though one has to swear on the Bible  to tell the truth and nothing 
but the truth.  If the truth is no defense in a courtroom, then the 
lie prevails.  Sadly, that is the case in Canada today.

May I remind you that the truth is called hate only by those who hate 
the truth.  His accusers are the real hate mongers, for they 
continually foster hatred among the peoples of Canada.  However, to 
my dismay, they seem to be immune from official censure and are free 
to foster their vicious, unfounded accusations with impunity.  If we 
live in a just society, why has Ernst Zundel not been given the same 
right?

I recall that some years ago Zundel  was charged with "spreading 
false  news".  Actually, his enemies  were spreading false news in 
the media at the time, but they were not charged.  Zundel disproved 
all allegations against him in court.  Despite the one-sided 
proceedings, much of the Holocaust dogma was exposed as a fraud  and 
lost credibility.  But because of a news blackout during his second 
trial, the Canadian public was kept in the dark about what had 
transpired in court.

That particular law was struck down by the Supreme Court of Canada 
and he was a free man for a time.  But not  for long, for his 
detractors have not yet learned when enough is enough.

I spent close to five years in the Canadian Army, including one year 
in the Service of the British Military Government in occupied 
Germany, so I am well informed about what went on there during and 
after the war.  [Neither] I, nor anyone elase in the world, had heard 
of the term "Holocaust" until it was created by Hollywood in 1967. 
So I, and an increasing number of thinking Canadians, have become 
holocaust skeptics.  How in good conscience must I accept something 
that I know from personal experience  and extensive research is 
largely a fraud?

George Orwell once wrote:  "In this deceitful world, telling the 
truth is revolutionary act".  Well, I am not a revolutionary, I just 
want to live in peace.  Fostering a blatant lie will only create more 
Holocaust skeptics because there are still Canadians who can reason 
for themselves and resent being told what they must believe.

I read  in the paper that Ernst Zundel is a danger to Canada.  This 
is absurd.  He never has been, and is not now a danger to anyone, 
least of all Canada.  He has lived here for 42 years and never 
committed a crime,  yet he is treated as a criminal.  Despite the 
constant unfounded vilification of his character, he has broken no 
law in Canada.  His Canadian sons, their families and his 
grandchildren, as well as his loyal wife in Tennessee, should not be 
deprived of his presence.  He not only deserves to remain in Canada, 
but also Canadian citizenship.

If he is shipped to the Zionist vassal state of Germany, in which the 
truth of Germany's past is punishableby law, he will likely have to 
spend  many years in prison - just for telling the truth.  Who will 
this benefit?  Certainly not the Canadian people.  Truth ennobles the 
esteem of those who have the courage and moral backbone to promote 
it, people like Ernst Zundel.  In a just society they would not be 
punished for it.

Your mind is probably made up - or has more likely been made up for 
you  by his traditional enemies.   However, I appeal to you to 
reconsider Ernst' Zundel's deportation based on common sense and 
humanity.  If you do deport him to  Germany you will prove to me that 
my years in the Canadian Army during World War II in defense of 
freedom and democracy were wasted.  And banish the thought that 
Zundel was right after all!  Think about it!

[END]
