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

June 4, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I have been so busy I have had to shelve even extremely important 
business regarding Ernst Zundel's unlawful incarceration to the 
back-burner - one of them being the unpleasant task of taking on 
Amnesty International in a systematic way for their refusal to step 
in and at the very least investigate the illegal kidnapping and 
holding-in-detention of my husband. 

As a non-profit outfit, taking membership money, this global 
organization, Amnesty International, is not supposed to let itself be 
shamefully politicized - and this is one of the areas we are looking 
into to see of grassroots action can be applied.  Besides, it's not 
exactly attractive to see such a well-known "relief" agency dive for 
their fig leaf the moment they spot a "Holocaust Denier" who might 
need some protection from self-serving pressure groups as well. 

The second strategy, of course, will be to marshal protest 
demonstrations in front of their headquarters - in as many countries 
as we can!

Particularly the Canadian AI has blatantly sided with Canada's 
freedom-of-speech oppressors by continually talking out of both sides 
of their mouths - but doing absolutely nothing.  They ship a canned 
reply to every protest letter - and that's all!  In fact, they have 
pre-judged Ernst Zundel to be guilty of "hate crimes" and meriting 
deportation to Germany when even a cursory investigation would have 
told them that he was never charged, much less convicted, in either 
Canada or the US of "hate crimes" where he has spent practically all 
of his adult life and where all his responsible (!) non-violent (!) 
activism took place. 

AI will have some explaining to do to its members - and its potential members!

This morning I received some very interesting information from one of 
my eagle-eyed cyber monitors.  We have had the following visitors to 
the Zundelsite from May 29, 2003 to June 3, 2003:

Amnesty International:  (US branch) May 29, 9:45 am

US Navy:  May 29, 1:47pm

Anti-Defamation League (ADL):  May 29, 1:56pm

Justice Canada (justice.gc.ca)  May 29, 10am

Parliament of Canada (parl.gc.ca) May 29, 10:30 am  (They listened to the
unedited CSIS interview as well as checking about 50 other documents!)

Justice Canada (justice.gc.ca) May 30, 11:52 am

Justice Canada (justice.gc.ca)  June 2, 11:04 am

Parliament of Canada (parl.gc.ca) June 2, 2:40 pm

Justice Canada (justice.gc.ca) June 3, 11am

Amnesty.De  (Amnesty International Germany) June 3, 11:27am

Government of the Yukon - June 3, 12:30pm

So you see, your letters to the government and media have an effect! 
Please don't let up!  Just cite the facts: 

That Ernst was legally in the United States, being married to a US 
citizen, that his papers were being legally processed, that he never 
received any official notice that his application for residence had 
been "abandoned", that he was arrested without a signed arrest 
warrant, that he was thrown into Maximum Detention like a common 
criminal, that he is now barred from coming back to the United States 
for 20 (!) years - and that he is in imminent danger of being 
deported to Germany where lifelong incarceration is a very strong 
possibility due to Germany's Orwellian censorship laws.

Be polite.  Be brief.  Show class.  And send me a copy so I can 
preserve it in our archives.

For today, please write to the following branches of Amnesty 
International in their respective countries - and ask them to 
intercede for Ernst Zundel at headquarters, lest they will have have 
some explaining to do to their membership why they let themselves be 
either cowed or politicized by a vociferous special interest lobby 
group in Canada.
