ZGram - 6/7/2003 - "Mr. Coderre's pencil stub solution"

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

June 7, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

As the Enemies of Free Speech are trying their hardest to tighten 
their stranglehold on all of us, we need a little smile in order to 
keep some perspective.  And look - here comes a smile!

A supporter of ours sent me the following:

Enclosed find my letter.  You will find it a little different.  I 
understand that right now (write now) you and Christie are inundating 
Ottawa with testimonial letters.  Quite proper.

But there are other ways to get their attention. 

One man in a lonely prison.  It is easy to pass by.  There are so 
many like that.

I am 73, read a lot, but even I was shocked by the pencil stub 
business.  All the other stuff was old hat to me.  Chains, clogs, 
shackles, mistreatment, torture etc.  We have had a steady diet of it 
since World War II.

But I had never seen the pencil stub business before.  That is why it 
is powerful.  It is not worn out from over-use.  Just think - pencils 
from Sweden, Mexican pencils, Russian pencils, Lebanese pencils, 
pencils from everywhere.  Pencils raining upon Ottawa!

AND THEN HE ADDED THIS:

MRS. ZUNDEL:  CC GOVERNMENT OF CANADA:

I wish to state that I have enjoyed the fine art produced by the 
well-known artist, Ernst Zundel, for many years.  His artist's brush 
has an instinct for finding truth and beauty in a world often rife 
with ugliness and confusion.  It is difficult to see how a man who 
has spent six decades as artist and pacifist could be seen by any 
government as a "terrorist".

I was particularly saddened to see that this talented artist has been 
given only a short stub of a pencil with which to draw and write 
letters.  it is not known to me whether it is the purpose of the 
country of Canada to prevent Mr. Zundel from painting/drawing or 
simply to deny him his right to freedom of speech. 

As a connoisseur of art, I am sending along another pencil stub for 
artist Zundel.  I do this as common charity since Canada's budget 
seems to be strained in this matter.

As for the restraints upon Mr. Zundel's free speech, the only thing I 
can do is to stay out of Canada and recommend that civilized people 
do the same, lest we all should end up sitting in a Canadian jail 
with a broken pencil stub in hand.

Canada, you have sold yourself too cheaply.

Artists of the World, Unite!

[END]

How about it, folks?  Go and find a pencil stub and send it to Mr. 
Coderre and give him a piece of your mind - and please don't forget 
your manners!  Some idiot already got Ernst in trouble for sending a 
nasty note to the prison.  That doesn't help at all!  Please don't 
forget your Mama raised you right!   And please remember that we are 
people of culture and discernment - it's our enemies that you can 
recognize from pedding nastiness and smut!
