ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

June 1, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I haven't yet had word about how the Toronto Zundel Protest 
Demonstration went, but I helped suggest a few paragraphs to be read 
at the event, which I culled out of several hundreds of letters I 
have, by now, received - all saying, in effect:  Have you lost your 
mind completely, Absurdistan, to charge Ernst Zundel with being "a 
danger to the security of Canada" and, worse, a "terrorist"?

Here is my favorite with which to end this stressful week:

Imprisonment of Ernst Zündel, a peaceful man and a free spirit

Dear Sir/Madam

The persecution of Ernst Zündel by the Canadian government is truly
astonishing and its political implications will not go away. What is
being done today to a peaceful, honest man whose views include a
passionate belief in freedom and justice, and who is guilty of
absolutely no crime or misdemeanour whatsoever, but the expression of
his own thoughts, is already taking the shape of an international
scandal.

If Zündel is not left free to choose his own lawful movements and the
place of his residence, believe me, it will be known and remembered. If
he is sent to Germany against his will for no reason at all but the
whims of the rulers of a once great nation where people used to live
under the law, it may happen that the new status of Canada as a Northern
Guantabananamo, a sinister backwater whose duties include the
persecution and abuse of innocent men that not even the governement
presently in power in the United States would dare to label a security
menace, will, step by step, overgrow the Northern Absurdistan image.

What is coming your way is not an Absurdistan but a totalitarian
dictatorship. The unprincipled and stupid little men in office, who
cannot measure the consequences of their abuse of the law, will one day
be astonished to see -- like Messieurs Fabius and Gayssot, in France
already do -- that their main claim to fame will be precisely the
actions they most would like to forget and make others forget.

The struggle for freedom is all-encompassing and indivisible and
directly connected to the quest for truth, and in this sense it is the
mirror image of the 20th century political totalitarianisms, with their
empires of flickering lies, their wars of global terror and their
terrorist rulers.

This is why the little people in office should start thinking hard about
what they are doing to their country and to themselves, even if they do
not care about Ernst Zündel's civil rights. And this is why they should
be restituting Ernst Zündel's precious freedom to him with no more
delay.
