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!
