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

  December 17, 2003

  Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

So many people ask, often in utter disbelief:  Why on earth would 
Ernst's enemies make such a monumental error, kidnapping him on the 
flimsiest pretext and locking him up as though he were the worst of 
criminals, when they KNOW they have no evidence against him 
whatsoever?

Indeed. 

There are many answers to that question, at this point all of them 
just theory, but bit by bit becoming solid evidence.  I have my own 
theory, not shared by everyone.  I think it was part chutzpah, part 
stupidity, part bluff.  Haven't our enemies "boomeranged" themselves 
before because they acted hastily and on mere impulse? 

My theory is that they thought that they could get away with it.  For 
one, the INS was merging into a huge bureaucracy, Homeland Security, 
and there was a lot of confusion.  Furthermore, whoever had his dirty 
fingers in this pie counted on a speedy deportation - and not to 
Canada;  to Germany!  Thirdly, these people acted on false data. 
They thought that Ernst had left Canada for the US in March 2000 for 
the last time - not so!  And, finally, they left some nifty traces 
they didn't think we would find out.  We are still connecting the 
dots. 

Here is a brief but poignant reader summary of just how stupidly, 
with utter disregard for law or even common sense, this kidnapping 
was carried out - and now our enemies are stuck with it because what 
they did, and how it was done, makes ever more people perk up about 
what's really going on.  This summary is very useful for our files:

  [START]

This is so hard to accept as reality!  How can a national government 
be so insecure as to indulge itself in the actual persecution of a 
pacifist for the crime of - what?  What is the crime?  Racism?  I 
thought the Jews weren't a race.

Who will benefit if Ernst Zundel is deported to Germany?  That is, is 
this really a German operation, or a Canadian operation, or an 
American operation?  Which country is making this persecution happen? 
Does Germany really want Ernst Zundel showing up there at this 
fragile time of explosive Holocaust awareness?

  Or is the alleged crime the blowing of an immigration meeting in a 
foreign country?  Because a non-Canadian allegedly misses a meeting 
regarding his attempt at citizenship in America he is jerked back to 
Canada so that he can be deported to Germany, where he can be 
punished for defaming the dead?  In America, of course, "defamation 
of the dead" carries no civil or criminal penalty.  There is no such 
crime or charge here.  Perhaps Canada is different.

  But now the charge by the Crown is "terrorism."  Since there is no 
evidence that he has actually terrorized anyone, the question must be 
asked, "Who is terrified of Ernst Zundel?"  

  Black's Law Dictionary defines "terror" as "Alarm; fright; dread; 
the state of mind induced by the apprehension of hurt from some 
hostile or threatening event or manifestation; fear caused by the 
appearance of danger."  Black's says that "A person is guilty of a 
felony if he threatens to commit any crime of violence with purpose 
to terrorize another... or in reckless disregard of the risk of 
causing such terror or inconvenience."  How does this apply to Ernst 
Zundel?

  It applies because the use of terror was not by Zundel but rather 
against him.  The persecution of Zundel is meant to terrorize the 
general population of Canada into silence and submission to Jewish 
rule.  "This could happen to you."

  A crime of violence has been committed against Ernst Zundel by the 
American police.  He was falsely and maliciously and violently 
arrested by the use and/or threatened use of firearms.  [Here I want 
to put in a caveat:  At least some of the five government officials 
who came to arrest/kidnap Ernst were visibly armed.  At least one of 
them was wearing a bullet-proof vest as if he expected a shootout. 
However, there was no display of arms, or implication that those arms 
would be used.  There was no need for that because Ernst offered no 
resistance, and I was too stunned to even think of resistance - I 
only asked to be allowed to call our attorney, a request that was 
brusquely and, I believe, illegally denied.] Other violent means were 
used by the American police to kidnap Zundel and take him to multiple 
places of imprisonment, across state lines, where he was falsely 
imprisoned.

  "False imprisonment" is defined by Black's as "The unlawful arrest 
or detention of a person without warrant, or by an illegal warrant, 
or a warrant illegally executed... consists in the unlawful detention 
in the person of another, for any length of time, whereby he is 
deprived of his personal liberty."

  But here is how Black's Law Dictionary views what happened to Ernst Zundel:

  "Kidnapping.  At common law, the forcible abduction or stealing and 
carrying away of a person from own country to another.  The unlawful 
seizure and removal of a person from own country or state against his 
will.  In American law, the intent to send the victim out of the 
country does not constitute a necessary part of the offense; the 
unlawful taking and carrying away of a human being by force and 
against his will being the essential elements.  At common law 
kidnapping was a misdemeanor, but under modern statutes such a crime 
is a felony.

  "A person is guilty of kidnapping if he unlawfully removes another 
from his place of residence or business, or a substantial distance 
from the vicinity where he is found, or if he unlawfully confines 
another for a substantial period in a place of isolation, with any of 
the following purposes:  (a) to hold for ransom or reward, or as a 
shield or hostage; or (b) to facilitate commission of any felony or 
flight thereafter; or (c) to inflict bodily injury on or to terrorize 
the victim or another; or (d) to interfere with the performance of 
any governmental or political function."

  Legal experts and normal people can easily see how Ernst Zundel 
might proceed against his [Š] perpetrators once he is exonerated of 
any malicious charge in the Canadian system.
