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

June 23, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

There will be TWO important ZGrams today - the one below, and one on 
my Washington Times ad later.

First, to the one below.  The headline says it all.  The 
Zionist-beholden Government of Canada:  "If you're a terrorist, we'll 
let you free.  If you are innocent, we'll keep you in jail.  He he."

Have our enemies ever more clearly revealed their poisonous claws - 
and their agenda?  I haven't talked to Ernst about this latest, but 
as far as I know him, he'll NEVER agree to this deal.  He will stay 
in prison - but it is already shaping up, as he put it recently: 

"Perversely, I am worth more to the movement in prison than I would 
be on the outside."

How long did it take Solzhenitsyn until the whole world rallied to his side?

legal representative on location:

Subject: ADMIT YOU'RE A TERRORIST & WE'LL LET YOU GO, FEDS TELL ZUNDEL

Dear Free Speech Supporter:

Have I got a deal for you!

The Federal Government, through sneaky leaks, seems to be recognizing the
emptiness of its lying case against Ernst Zundel: that somehow this gentle
artist, this pacifist, is a terrorist, supporter of violence, and,
therefore, a threat to Canada's national security.

Now, via press leak, they seem to be offering him a "deal": plead guilty to
being a terrorist and threat to national security and they'll let him go --
to prison in Germany or to a safe third country.

It's a secular, watered down version of the Devil's deal offered Christ in
the New Testament when He was fasting and tormented in the desert.

  Luke 4:6

6) And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the
glory of them: for that is delivered unto me and to whomsoever I will I
give it.

7) If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. 

Ernst Zundel can never lie and say to the minority-directed Canadian
government that he is a threat to national security. He is a non-violent
seeker after truth, an historical revisionist, the sort of feisty
intellectual who would be seen as an asset to any free state. However, in
the stifled, totalitarian land of political correctness, any independent
mind is seen as a threat.

Feds offer to set Zundel free if he'll agree he's security threat says lawyer

By BRUCE CHEADLE


OTTAWA (CP) - The federal government offered to set jailed Holocaust-denier
Ernst Zundel free to travel to the country of his choice if he would plead
guilty to being a national security threat, says his lawyer.

And a senior government source told The Canadian Press the national
security certificate could still be dropped altogether if Zundel would
return immediately to his native Germany.

"We'd gladly buy Zundel a ticket back to Germany tomorrow," said the
federal source.

But Germany, where Zundel faces up to five years in prison on charges of
suspicion of incitement of hatred, is the last place he wants to go.

Zundel remains in solitary confinement at Toronto's Metro West Detention
Centre awaiting his next Federal Court hearing on July 28 and weighing his
options, say confidantes.

"As far as accepting deportation to Germany, I don't believe that's on, at
least when I visited him a week ago," said Paul Fromm, a free speech
advocate and sometime legal adviser.

In fact, both federal offers amount to the same thing, Zundel's lawyer Doug
Christie said in an interview: "It's the chute that leads to the
slaughterhouse."

Christie said Donald MacIntosh, the senior immigration lawyer Ottawa
assigned to the Zundel case, proposed to set the 64-year-old German
national free "only if he pleads guilty to being a security threat."

"And if he does that no other country (but Germany) will take him.
Checkmate. Germany has the most repressive laws in Europe to enforce the
state religion of German guilt for the Holocaust."

Zundel has been in running legal skirmishes for at least a decade because
of his published writings and Web site glorifying Nazism, denying the
Holocaust and alleging a global Jewish conspiracy.

Federal officials are predictably reluctant to be seen negotiating any kind
of deal.

A spokesman for Immigration Minister Denis Coderre was tight-lipped.

"Things are before the courts right now and we have to let due process take
it's course," Mark Dunn said.

Zundel has been behind bars since February, when he was deported to Canada
from the United States for overstaying a visitor's visa. Zundel immediately
applied for refugee status in Canada, claiming he'd be persecuted if he was
deported to Germany.

The Solicitor General and Immigration Department responded by slapping him
with a security certificate declaring him a threat to national security.

A Federal Court judge is in the process of deciding whether the certificate
is reasonable based on secret evidence from the Canadian Security and
Intelligence Service.

Immigration lawyer Lorne Waldman said he would find it very troubling if
Ottawa were to use the security certificate process as leverage in
immigration matters.

"What they were trying to do by using the security process was to prevent
him from having a refugee claim," said Waldman, who was quick to add he
holds "no sympathy at all" for Zundel personally. He believes Zundel's
refugee claim was frivolous and could have been easily rejected.

"It causes me some concern that the government would be issuing the
certificate and then negotiating with Mr. Zundel," Waldman added.

"If they have the evidence in the certificate, they should proceed with the
process."

But Bernie Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress said getting Zundel
permanently out of Canada is what matters. Farber doesn't care where he
ends up.

"People would always like to see someone like Zundel face justice in
Germany," he said.

"But I think for most Canadians, their bottom line is we don't want Ernst
Zundel in Canada. If there's another country out there willing to take him,
they're welcome to him."

Zundel, who lived in Canada for 40 years without being granted citizenship,
would like to return to the United States, where his American wife lives in
Tennessee, says Fromm. But it's not at all clear that Zundel's destination
of choice would accept him.

The newly created U.S. Department of Homeland Security, contacted Friday
and told of the case, couldn't immediately comment on Zundel's status.
