ZGram - 4/1/2003 - "Another four weeks in solitary - and for what?"

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

April 1, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I was not able to talk to Ernst today, but friends called me to tell 
me that, exactly as Ernst had predicted, the judge refused to grant 
him bail - which means that Ernst will have to stay another four 
weeks in solitary confinement until yet another hearing scheduled for 
May 1st. 

I did talk to him yesterday, and he felt great about the first day's 
hearing because he got important testimony into the transcripts - but 
did not think the judge would allow him to be freed on bail.  As it 
turned out, he was right.

I want you to read how the first day's hearing went, as reported by a 
friend - and then compare it to how it was reported by his enemies:

>  Dear Ingrid,

This is to acknowledge receipt of your Z-Gram March 31, 2003.

We were not home yesterday because we attended Ernst's hearing at the 
Immigration and Refugee Board in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

Paul Fromm did a great job as acting lawyer.  He was much better than 
the Government's two stooges who did nothing but try to delay the 
proceedings.

However, the star of the show was your husband and our admired friend 
Ernst Zundel.  He was in his element as he eloquently presented his 
case with great confidence and superior knowledge and thoroughly 
deflated CSIS. 

He brought out the shocking fact that this government agency allowed 
parcels containing pipe bombs to be delivered to him from Vancouver 
on regular Air Canada flights.  This was a great danger to hundreds 
of people on board and the post office handler who processed it.  If 
the Canadian public only knew what evil lurks in this agency.

Immigration minister Denis Coderre has not seen fit to answer my 
letter on Ernst's behalf which I sent him close to six weeks ago. 
So, I will send him and my local MP another letter detailing the 
threats of the Jewish menace to Canadian freedom. 

I will also ask who ordered the horrendous way that Ernst is being 
kept in solitary confinement for 24 hours a day less 10 minutes, in a 
cell with no windows where the lights are on all day  with only a bed 
and toilet as furniture.  As you know, he is allowed no newspapers, 
radio or other written material.  We tried to leave him a pen, block 
of paper and a clipboard but were not allowed to.

A vicious smear campaign is being conducted by the local print media 
and especially, the Toronto Sun.  They are all despicable Zionist 
vassals.  With his magnificent presentation Ernst has done everything 
he could and it is our hope that he will prevail agaist all odds.  If 
not, God help us!

Here follows your standard media smear:

GLOBE AND MAIL | Monday, Mar. 31, 2003

Niagara Falls, Ont. =97 Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel is a risk to Canadian
security and if released would be a lightning rod for the white supremacist
movement, a CSIS agent told an immigration hearing on Monday.

Mr. Zundel appeared in orange prison overalls and waved to friends in the
hearing room, Toronto's CFTO TV News reported on Monday. A Canadian
resident for some 40 years until 2001, he is seeking refugee status since
his return to Canada by U.S. authorities.

He has been in a Niagara Detention Centre in Thorold, Ont., since Feb. 19
awaiting an immigration hearing.

If deported to Germany, Mr. Zundel would face charges of suspicion of
incitement of hate. The charges stem from material on his Web site that
denies that the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis during the Second
World War ever took place.

The German-born Mr. Zundel moved to Canada in 1958 as a teenager where he
held permanent resident status. In the 1980s, he became known for staging
stunts like strapping himself to a crucifix to get across his Holocaust
denial messages.

He left Canada in 2001 for the United States after a long-running
human-rights complaint alleging he spread anti-Semitic literature.

Mr. Zundel was arrested Feb. 3 at his Tennessee home for overstaying a
visitor's visa.
