- Where Truth is Destiny:  Now more than ever!

April 20, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Again there is something wrong with my ZGrams getting out on time. 
Additionally, there is interference with my letters to Ernst, and his 
letters to me.  Even Global Priority, which should take no longer 
than 3 days, arrives belatedly two weeks or more after it has been 
mailed - or disappears entirely.  And just a few days ago I had a 
horrendous telephone problem - while I could receive regular calls, I 
could not receive collect calls from Ernst, and I could not call out 
at all, not even 411 for phone number information.  When I finally 
managed to get the word out to Bell South, the repairman who came to 
my aid said that in 31 years of working for the telephone company, he 
had never once encountered a problem like that.

Just what that "problem" consisted of, I have not been able to ferret 
out.  The lame excuse given by the central business office was that a 
block had been put on my lines because I received too many calls, but 
it should not have mattered because my account was paid up, and the 
next billing cycle was not yet due.  So something fishy is again 
going on!  It seems that interference never ends!

The ZGram below was meant for Good Friday - however, since I only 
received it on Saturday and had already planned my ZGram for the day, 
I am running it today.  Let me just preface it by saying that when 
Ernst carried a cross during one of his innumerable Holocaust Trials 
to demonstrate that Freedom of Speech had died in Canada, many people 
objected and thought he was presumptuous to liken himself to Christ's 
walk to Golgatha.  Of course the idea was to make a harmful issue 
visible by parable.

Here Dr. Robert Countess, a former Army Chaplain and a stout 
Revisionist who is publicizing Ernst's latest persecution to a more 
general readership, wrote this:

                                                                                                                                                                                   Ernst 
Zundel, Pontius Pilate, Jesus Christ: an Analogy for Good Friday 
Meditation

    By Robert H. Countess, Ph.D.

      According to the New Testament documents, Passover Week Friday 
was the day Jesus was crucified as 1) a simple Roman execution; 2) a 
hate crime and show trial by evil Jewish leaders - but not the 
masses;  and 3) a theological event of universal soteriological 
significance in the plan of God for redemption.

     However, the events of the night prior must be considered in 
order to gain valuable perspective.

     After Jesus celebrated the Passover meal in the Upper Room and 
Judas the Treasurer had departed for his opportunistic Thirty Pieces 
of Silver [a large sum then], the group walked to the Garden of 
Gethsemane [perhaps as beautiful as Hatcher Mountain] where Jesus 
prayed and the disciples all fell asleep. Then Judas came leading a 
group of armed soldiery and policemen large enough perhaps to 
frighten a Saddam Hussein. [One might recall the five officers who 
came to arrest the pacifist Ernst Zundel on February 5th, 2003 armed 
and one even with a flak vest.]  Judas came forward and placed his 
evil kiss on Jesus' cheek and the personal betrayal  for Geld  was 
done.

      We read that the red-haired [Catholic "first Pope"] fisherman 
Peter pulled a sword and attacked the High Priest's bond slave 
Malchus  [John 18:10] but was so poorly trained in violent combat 
that he only cut off the right ear - which Jesus healed on the spot 
[Luke 22:51].  At this point, the Disciples fled for their lives. The 
High Priest's vigilantes then bound Jesus [leg irons?] and led him to 
the rich Palace of Annas, father-in-law to High Priest Caiaphas. 
Annas had been High Priest but he had still the enormous influence of 
the office without now occupying it; plus he "contributed", shall we 
say, large sums of money to "friends" in the Roman government of 
Jerusalem. Power, money, influence, and family members in high 
government circles? What a more proper first stop for this threat to 
national security, Jesus, than Annas' place of residence and business?

     Immense capital flowed from the Temple precincts into Annas' 
coffers. Little wonder that Jesus was so hated for His onslaught [see 
John 2:13f] into these for-profit chambers, upturning tables and 
scattering the Jewish filthy lucre and rope whipping the money 
changers who, Jesus was convinced, had turned Jehovah's house into "a 
den of thieves"!

     The Roman soldiers had their orders to take Jesus to Annas' 
place, no doubt having gotten some shekels to grease the path.  The 
often whispered "Jewish Power" by timid Gentiles of our own day is 
nothing new, it seems, since the hated and pagan Romans themselves 
yielded to Jewish Power and, of course, as always, money in 
sufficient quantities to make it all seem appropriate.

      High Priest Caiaphas was already His implacable enemy but now 
became His accuser and judge.  Around Caiaphas were--like those 
around Saddam--large numbers in his service, fearful to cross him 
lest they experience some "difficulty" in life and employment. 
There's nothing like the corrupt use of power by corrupt religious 
leaders!

      A hastily gathered ad hoc meeting of Priests and Elders, 
Sanhedrinists, Lawyers, and Scribes appeared that pre-Passover 
evening.  A regular meeting of this "Supreme Court" would never have 
been held on Passover or Passover Eve itself, but so great a threat 
to the vested interests of Jewry did Jesus appear to be that they 
came and stayed to effect their "Privat-mord" as one scholar put it 
in his Geschichte des Judenthums [19th century].  This "private 
murder" was not the routine result of a normally held Great Sanhedrin 
and its full 71 members for whom the hated Romans allowed full 
authority over religious matters except capital punishment itself - 
left only to the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate.  And since Jesus 
basically refused to offer a defense for Himself - since He came to 
die as Messiah - the gathered authorities resorted to distortion of 
His message and then, in the end, to lying and bribed [oh the power 
of money over conscience to many people!] false witnesses who gave 
their "eyewitness" testimonies which largely contradicted each other. 
Jews are not alone among two-legged sentient air-suckers [my term for 
homo sapiens] in giving false, alleged "eyewitness" testimony, but 
they may well be unique in being the most successful as an 
identifiable group in employing it in the past and--since World War 
Two - now in the present in so-called "testi-lying" on behalf of the 
Holocaust Industry.

      Perhaps the Great Sanhedrin chief prosecutor even insisted upon 
"judicial notice" that Jesus had committed all sorts of felonies that 
made him a threat to national security?  Why not?  May be that 
Nuremberg jurisprudence had ample precedent for its own nefarious 
methods to convict and condemn in 1945-6.

    The final "evidence" to support judicial condemnation came, 
however, when Jesus finally spoke to High Priest Caiaphas and 
admitted to being "the Christ, the Son of God" [Matthew 26:63-4].  We 
read that Caiaphas tore his outer robe as a display of hearing 
blasphemy [vs. 65], announcing with a loud voice that the trouble 
maker was obviously worthy of death.  At this, the standers-by began 
to spit in Jesus' face and to beat Him and taunt Him with commands to 
engage in fortune telling such as "Who hit you?"

     Of major interest for this present essay is Matthew 27:15f.  The 
text states that there was a tradition associated with the Passover 
wherein Governor Pontius Pilate would allow the crowd  to select the 
release of a prisoner scheduled for execution.  Now, if the 
Sanhedrinist authorities could redirect the crowd's general empathy 
for Jesus away from Jesus and toward the felon and real national 
security threat, Bar-Abbas [Hebrew & Aramaic "son of the father"], 
then they could succeed in having the hated Roman Governor himself 
execute Jesus and they could blame - that is, relieve themselves of 
personal and legal responsibility - Pilate for the execution.

     To this end, the priestly agitators shouted out to Pilate, 
"Release Bar-Abbas!"  Perhaps some "walking around" money flowed to 
certain loud-voiced men in the crowd to shout louder and incessantly, 
"Release to us Bar-Abbas!"  In due time - how long, the text does not 
say - Pilate gave in to the masses' clamor for the release of a real 
felon and in his place the crucifixion of the preacher of love and 
peace, Jesus the Messiah.  How pleased the Sanhedrinists must have 
felt if, as they might have thought:  "We finally are about to be rid 
of this pest, this bacillus, and we can thank the crowd and Governor 
Pilate for doing the dirty work."  [I have found in Talmud study that 
Talmudic Jews routinely seek not to obey the law of God in the Torah, 
but rather to circumnavigate around the law after the experts have 
diluted it or complicated it or nullified it with countless 
inferential and/or implied details so burdensome that a sane person 
would conclude:  Who cares? What is the purpose after all?  God is 
not the goal, but human striving for self-recognition.  Can anyone 
actually obey what the Talmudists have created and now call Halachoth?

     Finally, we come to the analogy of Ernst Zundel in his solitary 
confinement in the Niagara Falls, Ontario detention center.

     If the evil movers and shakers and string pullers behind Ernst's 
continued imprisonment with no granting of bail in sight - the 
Canadian Jewish Congress and its brother organizations there and the 
Anti-Defamation League in the USA - had been given  Pilate's choice 
on Good Friday 2003, I believe they would have behaved with the same 
insane reasoning and emotion of the rabble in Pilate's presence.

     Let us say that "Pilate" in 2003 would have offered the felon Irv 
Rubin [former Jewish Defense League Director] to the crowd, a 
notorious criminal and street bully and firebomber extraordinaire, I 
believe the CJC would bribe the masses to shout for the release of 
Irv and to "crucify" Ernst Zundel.

     If our contemporary "Pilate" were to offer one of several Jewish 
hatemongers such as Elie Wiesel or Abe Foxman or Edgar Bronfman to 
the babbling, gaggling, cackling crowd of circumcised and 
uncircumcised riffraff, the flotsam and jetsam of big city Toronto in 
place of Ernst Zundel, I believe the CJC and its supporters would 
immediately raise shouts of "Release to us Elie or Abe or Edgar and 
Crucify Ernst!"

    I have met Elie Wiesel. I have met Irv Rubin.  Believe me, Ernst 
Zundel is no Elie Wiesel. Ernst Zundel is no Irv Rubin.  Ernst holds 
strong opinions about history and society and life and Zionism and 
Freemasonry,  but he promotes no hatred for those who disagree with 
him.

    The CJC is unified in its hatred of Ernst Zundel. The CJC is 
unified in its hatred of Jesus Christ. The CJC is unified in its 
irrational support for Jewish Supremacy and the State of Israel and 
the ethnic-cleansing of the Semito-Palestinians [my term]. The CJC is 
unified in opposing bail for Ernst Zundel at any price and at any 
time. The CJC fears Ernst Zundel, but not because he has a gun in his 
hand, but rather a  pencil stub and continues to write and promote 
the open discussion of the Holocaust Industry's Holo-hoax upon 
Germans and all Gentiles and upon ignorant Jews themselves.

      The CJC is right to fear Ernst Zundel's stubby pencil and is 
right to fear his wife's Zundelsite and is right to fear the Internet 
in general, since - as Germar Rudolf put it - "Internet macht frei!"
