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

March 31, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I want to remind all my readers that today is another Immigration 
Hearing dealing with Ernst Zundel's illegal incarceration - and what 
should happen next.

Please remember that Ernst was literally kidnapped from his home in 
Tennessee under false pretenses - an allegedly "missed immigration 
appointment" and "having overstayed his visa" - when, in fact, 
American law enforcement and American immigration officials were 
shamelessly used as hit squads by what we suspect and intend to prove 
were Jewish Lobby interests in Canada and Germany.

THE ARREST WARRANT WAS PREPARED, SIGNED AND DATED AFTER ERNST'S ARREST!

Ernst does not expect to be released on bail, although his friends 
and, naturally, his family all hope for it.  There is no reason 
whatsoever to keep him in maximum detention since he is innocent even 
of the petty immigration charges, is not a flight risk, and certainly 
is not and never has been a "danger to the security of Canada".

The only thing that is in danger from Ernst Zundel's fountain pen is 
a cleverly crafted, widely repeated and systematically force-fed, 
monumental lie that "six million" Jews were "gassed" on "genocidal 
orders" in wartime Germany.

Let's call a spade a spade - what you have in that lie is a 
suggestive mantra, aimed at the gullible masses, supporting a global 
extortion racket - to keep otherwise moribund, self-serving political 
interests on a life-sustaining drip!

A number of legal moves have been initiated both in the USA and in 
Canada to unravel the unsavory details of this politically motivated 
arrest and detention.  At today's hearing, Canadian national media 
are expected to be present even though media representatives were 
prevented from attending two previous hearings.  BY LAW, they are 
entitled to be there, although their reporting, as many times before, 
is expected to be cowed and submissive to their New World Order 
masters' agenda.

The Progress Report of the Institute for Historical Review of March 
26, 2003 summarized this latest portion of the Zundel Saga well:

"Ernst Zundel is in prison not because his views are unpopular, or 
because he's a "security risk." He's in prison because Jewish-Zionist 
groups want him there. He's a prisoner because he holds and promotes 
views that the Jewish-Zionist lobby considers dangerous to its 
interests."

Refresh your memory - and pass this excerpt on:

[START]

Ernst Zundel was arrested on Feb. 5 at his home in Tennessee, and a 
short time later deported to Canada - even though he is married to an 
American citizen, Ingrid Rimland - on the pretext that he missed an 
interview date with immigration authorities.

For weeks now Canadian authorities have been holding him in prison, 
without bail. Citing supposed ties, years ago, to "white supremacist" 
groups, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) - something 
like the FBI - contends that Zundel is a risk to national security. 
While acknowledging that he is not violent himself, CSIS argues that 
material published by Zundel might cause "like-minded individuals to 
engage in violence."

That Canadian authorities should resort to such a far-fetched 
argument only underscores the politically motivated nature of the 
campaign against him. Regardless of the formal reasons given for his 
arrest, jailing and deportation, it appears that - once again - Ernst 
was targeted because of his dissident views about history.

In fact, Ernst is a peaceful man who, as even his adversaries 
concede, has never advocated violence against anyone. He is himself a 
victim of hate and violence. He has survived at least three attempts 
on his life, including a devastating arson attack against his 
residence. And anyway, if Ernst Zundel is really such a threat to 
"national security," Canadian society is fragile indeed.

Far from being a danger to Canada, he deserves the gratitude of 
Canadians for waging a protracted legal battle that strengthened the 
rights of all Canadians.

Jewish-Zionist groups have been demanding that Canadian authorities 
deport him to Germany, where he faces years of imprisonment for the 
"thought crime" of "denying the Holocaust." As you know, "Holocaust 
denial" is against the law in Germany, France, Switzerland and some 
other European countries. Such laws are inherently unjust because 
they criminalize nonconformist views of only one chapter of history - 
the wartime fate of Europe's Jews. Dissident views of other chapters 
of history are not similarly prohibited.

Ernst Zundel is in prison not because his views are unpopular, or 
because he's a "security risk." He's in prison because Jewish-Zionist 
groups want him there. He's a prisoner because he holds and promotes 
views that the Jewish-Zionist lobby considers dangerous to its 
interests.

Bishop Desmond Tutu, the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, recently 
told an American audience: "People are scared in this country to say 
[that] wrong is wrong, because the Jewish lobby is powerful - very 
powerful." He's right. In Canada, as in the United States, 
politicians and journalists are in fearful awe of Jewish-Zionist 
power.

This lobby is the decisive, critical factor in the decades-old 
campaign to silence Ernst Zundel. The only sustained and 
institutionalized effort to imprison him has come from this lobby, 
which includes the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Canadian Jewish 
Congress, the Canadian Holocaust Remembrance Association, and the 
League for Human Rights of B'nai B'rith (with the Anti-Defamation 
League, its counterpart in the US).

It is not Zundel, but rather his Jewish-Zionist adversaries, who are 
to be feared. Canada's Jewish-Zionist groups, immeasurably more 
powerful and influential than he, openly support and collaborate with 
the "Jewish supremacist" state of Israel. And Israel's "Jewish 
supremacy" is not merely rhetorical; the Zionist regime brutally 
oppresses an entire population in brazen defiance of international 
law and world opinion.

Zundel's Achievement

Ernst Zundel is probably best known for his central role in the two 
great "Holocaust Trials" in Toronto, 1985 and 1988. He was brought to 
court on a charge of "publishing false news" by reprinting a booklet, 
Did Six Million Really Die?.

Those two lengthy trials have been the closest thing anywhere to full 
scale debates on the Holocaust issue. In defending himself in a legal 
battle that was forced on him, Ernst brought together an impressive 
international team of scholars, specialists and researchers, and 
presented to the world voluminous and compelling evidence refuting 
the Holocaust extermination story.

Among those who testified on his behalf in those trials were Dr. 
Robert Faurisson, David Irving, Dr. William Lindsey, Udo Walendy, and 
Bradley Smith, and, most notably, Fred Leuchter, the American gas 
chamber expert who spoke about his on-site forensic examination of 
the alleged extermination gas chambers in Poland.  [Mark Weber of the 
IHR was also called to the stand, testifying for five days as an 
expert witness in March 1988.]

For the first time ever, "Holocaust survivors" and Holocaust 
historians were closely and critically questioned under oath about 
their claims and views. The confusion and ignorance of these 
witnesses were laid bare, resulting in astonishing headlines and 
reports in papers across the country.

Although Ernst was found guilty and sentenced to nine months 
imprisonment, the country's highest tribunal later overturned the 
verdict. On appeal, Canada's Supreme Court threw out the conviction, 
declaring on August 27, 1992, that the archaic "false news" law under 
which he had been convicted was a violation of the country's Charter 
of Rights.

His victory only further enraged his adversaries.

Ernst's last great legal battle (until his recent arrest) was fought 
out before the "Human Rights Tribunal" in Toronto on charges of 
promoting "hatred or contempt" against Jews through the Internet web 
site operated from the US by Ingrid Rimland. From the outset, the 
Tribunal declared that the truth or validity of the supposedly 
"hateful" items was not a consideration. This outrageous restriction 
made a fair hearing impossible. As expected, the Tribunal ultimately 
ruled against him.

After 42 years in Canada, Ernst moved to the United States, where he 
married Ingrid in January 2000. Since the summer of 2000, they lived 
quietly in a mountainous region of eastern Tennessee.

Right after his arrest, Ernst and his wife asked for [the IHR's] help 
in dealing with the media.  As a result, in recent weeks [Mark Weber, 
IHR's Director] has spoken with dozens of reporters and [has] 
conducted numerous interviews about the still-developing case.
