> 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 might
> like to listen to Ernst in an *unedited* tape called "The Fifth
> Estate" on the homepage of the Zundelsite, www.zundelsite.org since
> it will be part, I believe, of Monday's hearing.  Unfortunately, it
> is not as clear as it should be but it is understandable.
>
> 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!
