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

August 11, 2003

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

I just finished speaking to Paul Fromm.  It seems that the 
demonstration below has already borne some fruit - or perhaps I 
should say, some promises.  After six months in maximum detention, 
Ernst has been promised a pillow and a chair, perhaps even some 
office items so that he can mark up the documents he needs for his 
defense.  Never say never!

Below is an account of the demonstration:

For Immediate Release

August 10, 2003

	Forty-five free speech supporters from around Southern 
Ontario protested the humiliating prison conditions faced by 
German-born revisionist publisher Ernst Zundel in the Metro West 
Detention Centre in Rexdale, Ontario.

	Organized by the Canadian Association for Free Expression 
(CAFE), today's protest drew activists from London, Oshawa, 
Collingwood and Toronto. The rally was endorsed by the Northern 
Alliance, the Canadian Heritage Alliance and the Heritage Front.

	The protest also brought out a number of television, radio 
and newspaper reporters.

	The hot grey late summer sky snapped with a sea of Red 
Ensigns. "Why do you fly the old flag of Canada?" a French CBC 
reporters asked protest organizer Paul Fromm.

	"It represents the real Canada," Fromm said, "the Canada 
founded by our European ancestors. It was one that guaranteed due 
process and enshrined English Common Law that our ancestors had 
fought to win for over 1,000 years." In a short speech to the rally, 
Fromm, a former Toronto school trustee, denounced the secret hearings 
that have occurred before each of Ernst Zundel's bail reviews and 
court hearings.

	"These secret hearings are outrageous," Fromm said. "They 
deny Mr. Zundel his fundamental right to face his accusers, to know 
the charges and accusations  against him and to be able to offer a 
full response and defence. How can he defend himself against 
accusations he hasn't heard?" Fromm demanded.

	Many protesters carried signs denouncing the inhumane prison 
conditions which they believe are inflicted on Mr. Zundel to break 
his spirit and get him to agree to return to Germany and a mimimum 5 
years in prison. Mr. Zundel stands accused in Germany of violating a 
law that forbids insulting the memory of the dead -- a totalitarian 
legal nicety which means questioning the Hollywood version of World 
War II.

	The protesters told reporters that Ernst Zundel is kept in 
solitary confinement without a pillow, a chair, without pens, 
paperclips, post-it notes or highlighters, all of which are needed to 
mark up and organize the several feet thick mound of legal documents 
and transcripts Mr. Zundel must handle for his  half dozen or more 
legal cases.

	Fromm referred to comments in Federal Court, July 30, by Mr. 
Justice Pierre Blais when informed of the prison conditions: "Even in 
mediaeval times, prisoners were allowed to use pen and paper. I also 
have respect for Mr. Zundel. He is not a criminal. He is entitled to 
a little bit of flexibility."

	Two prison guards who'd come out to the parking lot to 
monitor the protest, were furious when one of the demonstrators 
appeared to snap their picture. "This is typical of a totalitarian 
state. It stomps all over the rights of a man like Mr. Zundel, but 
its operatives certainly don't like their identity known," Jack 
Castor, one of the protesters said.

	The rally ended with a rousing chant of "Free Ernst Zundel!"

Among the messages of support received from around Canada and abroad 
were the following sample.

"Dear Ernst; as a victim of the same oppression you're facing, the
thoughts and prayers
from my family are never far from you! As was the case with my
fathers persecution at the
hands of tyranny and the suppressers of truth, you will
eventually be recognized and
acknowledged as the victim of a terrible injustice. Until that
time, keep the faith and may
the good Lord be with you."

"Best Wishes to Ernst

Hi Paul, convey my best wishes to Ernst. It is unbelievable how our 
democratic government acts in this case. They call themselves 
LIBERALS, I wonder why ? Regards"  Harry Schneider, Etobicoke, Ontario

" The Lynch Pin of Their Vulnerability.  It cannot be stressed enough 
how vital/essential is  the reminder that Ernst Zundel is a political 
prisoner -- whose very opinions  from his pursuit of truth over the 
decades have threatened the very foundations  of those who coined and 
then defined the phrase,  "political  correctness".   They realize as 
do we that he represents the downfall  of their shrines by providing 
the tools of truth and discovery and then exposing  their deceptions. 
He is the lynch pin to their vulnerability - AND  THEY KNOW IT!  Hang 
tough, Ernst!   We will strive to make your imprisonment as pleasant 
as  possible.  Oh, and of course, THANK YOU for your struggle!!!!!" 
Diane King Cushing, Texas

Dear Ernst

You are alone in your cell

but you are not alone.

We cannot enter your cell

but you are with us.

Nothing great is gained without sacrifice

You are a man of Destiny

Your message is clear

Your enemy fears you

We are with you."

"No matter our personal opinions especially in the field of history, Ernst
Zündel should be an inspiration for everyone of us because of his
exceptional courage.

I, for one, know something about being prosecuted/persecuted for my
revisionist findings on the alleged "Holocaust" of the Jews. But what  E.
Zündel has been suffering and still suffers for the same findings is much
worse than what I happened to endure.

France has a clear and shameful way of treating the Revisionists. Germany,
Austria and Switzerland have a brutal  and shameful way. But Canada has a
way which is even more shameful than anyone else because it is hypocritical,
vicious and cruel.

Canadian citizens should realize they have a hero at home, fighting for
their own rights and liberty : Ernst Zündel."

Dr. Robert Faurisson, France  August 9, 2003


PS: Nowadays everyone should realize that E. Zündel was right and that the
story (not history) of Saddam Hussein's alleged WMDs is a mere repetition of
the story (not history) of Adolf Hitler's WMDs ("execution gas chambers" and
"execution gas vans"). The lie is the same and the liars are the same."

"Dear Ernst:

Just a line from an old veteran to a very couragous front-line 
soldier for the Truth: hang in there, Old Warrior. The tide is 
beginning to turn and time is now on your side. You are making 
history as surely as the men at Runneymede! Hang tough." Ron Gostick, 
Director, Canadian Intelligence Publications.

"Greetings to Ernst from Britain I support and uphold his right to 
express and  hold opinions that may be unpopular with the `system'. 
The fact that a peaceful  man of his years can be abducted and 
incarcerated in such a blatant way is proof  (if it's needed) that we 
are living in oppressive times.

The New World Order `template' is being applied globally, real 
freedom is  neither tolerated nor encouraged.

The masses under the sedation of consumerism, and media control fail 
to see  the slight of hand and seem destined to become yet another 
`product line'  themselves.

As resistors it's our duty to become individuality financially 
successful in  order that our voice is more powerful.


regards"
