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

June 5, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Today I talked to Ernst for about half an hour - the first time we 
could have an extended conversation since he was transferred from 
Thorold.  He had heard that CSIS is in the news, apparently having 
had foreknowledge of a bomb that blew an Air India airplane apart. 

The story is beginning to seep into the American media - which will 
be in our favor.  Our legal team is expanding, and we are following 
all leads.  Some of them are promising. 

Here is another prisoner about whose fate we should learn more:

Dear (anonymous),

Thank you!

Thank you for thinking of me and my family. Life is hectic and 
fast-paced-- and for you to have thought of me, and then to stop and 
take time from your precious life to write me-- is an honor. And once 
again, I thank you!

Most of the people who write me say they cannot understand why the 
government targeted me with such a passion. Every rumor and innuendo 
that any political opponent would plant and foster became public and, 
before long, developed into an indictment without any physical 
evidence-- only the testimony of subjects who were able to avoid jail 
by fabricating falsehoods about me. Lies and half-truths became 
'facts'; and ultimately became a 10 count indictment. My evidence, 
that would have proved they were lying, was not allowed to be 
presented -- either before the Congress or the Federal Court! 
However, I know why I was targeted: I was not afraid of the 
government, and I had learned too much!

The U.S. Dept. of Justice & the John Demanjuk Case

The beginning of all of this was my first trial, in 1983, when I 
became the only American in history to defeat the U.S. Department of 
Justice in a RICO case-- pro se (representing myself), and me not 
being an attorney. They were embarrassed! The straw that broke the 
camel's back was when I proved that John Demanjuk was not the 
infamous Ivan the Terrible of the Treblinka death camp in Poland. The 
government was stunned and in shock. The real Ivan was nine years 
older, taller, and had black hair and a scar on his neck; his name 
was Ivan Marchenko. My investigation, in conjunction with John 
Demanjuk's beautiful family, proved not only that John was innocent, 
but also that the Justice Department knew he was not guilty-- even 
before they took him to court! Shame, shame!! They lied to the 
court-- gave false testimony and presented false witnesses-- knowing 
that he would be put to death! Shame!! The Justice Department then 
came after me with revenge, and a passion! I lost my respect and my 
faith in our government. Because this case was 'too sensitive,' 
Congress would not even hold a hearing on my evidence... Congress, 
all of them, at the time-- turned their back, worried about 
reelection!! The Democrats were in charge then, and they knew of my 
investigation in Congress... hoping I would abandon it! I did not! I 
sent my findings to the Israeli Supreme Court-- and they had no 
choice: They released John Demanjuk! In fact, they delivered him to 
me at the airport in Tel Aviv, Israel, and I personally brought him 
home, along with his son, his son-in-law, and Israeli bodyguards! I 
am proud of what I did. No one else, in the House or the Senate, 
would even talk to the family-- afraid of media power and the 
vindictiveness of the Justice Department. But even today, John 
Demanjuk is still being persecuted. Shame!

Other Skeletons

The government agents that destroyed Demanjuk's life should be in 
jail! That was just the tip of the iceberg. When people saw what I 
had done for the Demanjuk family they came to me with unbelievable 
information. The information is so powerful that it is hard to 
believe, and the government knew I was getting sensitive information 
that could damage the American people's confidence in the government. 
People came to me with facts about Waco, Ruby Ridge, Pan Am Flight 
103, Jimmy Hoffa, and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. 
It may all sound far-fetched, but I do know what happened to Hoffa 
and J.F.K. The government knows that I know-- and so they had to ruin 
my voice by destroying my credibility. I may yet divulge this 
information if I can get the proper forum. As you know, I was the 
dreaded enemy of the I.R.S. My legislation in the last I.R.S. Reform 
Bill changed the Burden of Proof law. Before that, you had to prove 
you were innocent in a tax court. The burden of proof was on the 
taxpayer. The I.R.S. said you owed... but the I.R.S. did not have to 
prove it. Unbelievable! Now that the I.R.S. has to prove their 
charges, the following statistics tell the true story. Comparing One 
Year Before the changes to One Year After:

1. Wage Garnishments dropped from 3.1 million to 560,000;

2. Taxpayer Property Liens dropped from 680,000 to 161,000;

3. Foreclosures on individual family-owned homes dropped from 10,063 
to 57! That's right: only 57 homes in all 50 states! Fact is, the 
I.R.S. was seizing our homes-- over 10,000 every year-- when they had 
neither proof nor the right to do so! Congress allowed the I.R.S. to 
intimidate us and frighten us. Think about it! And then maybe you can 
begin to understand why I love America, but hate the Government -- 
and why the Government hates me. The Justice Department had to get 
rid of me, but I'll be damned if I would back down!

America is in trouble... not from without, but from within! The 
Central Government has become too powerful. Citizens fear the 
Government. This is wrong. This is dangerous! I know the Government 
covered-up and promulgated LIES about Waco, Ruby Ridge, Pan Am Flight 
103, Hoffa, and J.F.K. The Government knew I was right when I called 
Janet Reno a traitor. Janet Reno sold us out when she refused to 
investigate a $10-million payoff to the Democratic Party from a 
general in the Red Chinese Army (no less!). Think about it! And the 
Government knew that I had known why Reno was forced to
betray America! I'm proud that I tried to do something about it! 
Someday the truth will come out. (I hope China never attacks us!)

Many of you have asked what you can do for me. I appreciate this. You 
can help my family: Mrs. Tish Traficant 429 N. Main Street Poland, OH 
44514

Thank you for remembering me... for thinking of me... for caring!

God Bless!
