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

  March 8, 2004

  Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

  Have we found the smoking gun?  It surely looks like it.  Perhaps 
one of many. 

  So as not to give away important parts of our strategy to free Ernst 
Zundel from the clutches of his deadly enemies who thought that they 
could pull a fast one, I can only give you a chronological outline, 
but it will be enough for you to draw a few conclusions.  It could 
well be that it's now count-down time for our enemies - and isn't it 
high time?  

  Here is a chronolgical hologram of sorts.  If you  stare at it long 
enough, you'll see the neo-cons of Canada involved in a political 
abduction that could well lead to their demise - and perhaps even 
prison.  

*	After our marriage on January 19, 2000, Ernst and I filed 
papers in June for Adjustment of Status. We moved to Tennessee is 
August of 2000.

  *	The application only reached the Memphis INS office on 
October 4, 2000 because it was mistakenly (?) sent to the Texas INS 
office by our then attorney.  Our application, however, was accepted 
by Memphis INS and followed up by requests for the usual steps needed 
to ascertain Adjustment of Status leading to Permanent Resident 
status - namely FBI fingerprinting, a health check, obtaining a work 
permit, a social security number, receiving a permit to leave and 
re-enter the United States etc. 

*	By the spring of 2001, the only last step missing was an 
interview with an INS official verifying that we were legally married 
and had taken up permanent residence in Tennessee. 

  *	About that time, an FBI official suddenly appeared in the 
door of our garage, stating "Your 'friends' in Canada have sent us 
your fileŠ" and asked if he could have "a few words" with Ernst.  On 
the advice of our attorneys, Ernst had been cautioned to make sure to 
have a lawyer present during interviews with government officials. 
Shortly  thereafter, a three-and-a-half hour interview took place in 
the Knoxville FBI office.   At the conclusion of that interview, the 
FBI agent told Ernst that he had studied the Zundelsite - still the 
bone of contention with the ongoing Canadian Human Rights Tribunal - 
and had found nothing that was unconstitutional.  

  *	Also in the spring of 2001, a stranger intruded on our 
property, taking pictures of our home, especially the back of the 
house where our offices are.  Ernst's sister, who was housesitting 
since we were attending a convention, managed to chase him away.  She 
described the intruder as "blubbery, with greasy hair and an 
audacious smirk."   Does that remind you of some folks we know?



*	Within days of that incident, a very offensive website 
appeared - a clear attempt to discredit us in the eyes of our 
supporters.  Among other things, a photo was used on that website 
that must have come from a pile of photos Ernst used to copy and send 
to supporters.  It had been lying on his desk.  We soon knew who had 
stolen that picture - somebody who was friends with someone who had 
harassed us intermittantly with mail that had offensive racist 
slogans glued to the outside of his envelopes - a clear attempt to 
discredit us as "racists" with our local postal service and, 
indirectly, in the neighborhood.  

  *	As my Zgram readers know, in June of 2001 we had that fateful 
first appointment for the INS interview that our attorney canceled 
because of an alleged time conflict on his calendar.  Our lawyer sent 
a letter, asking to have the interview rescheduled, followed up by a 
second letter repeating the request.  Through the Freedom of 
Information Act, we found out that both these letters are missing in 
the INS Memphis files, even though the second letter was sent "return 
receipt requested."  We have the original Postal return receipt card, 
showing that INS Memphis received it.

  *	In September of 2002, an Arab-Canadian, Maher Arar, was 
intercepted by U.S. officials with the help of the Canadian spy 
agency, CSIS, and turned over to Syrian officials to be tortured to 
obtain information on the Canadian-Arab community.  

  *	In November of 2002, Ernst's Jewish detractors registered the 
Human Rights Tribunal decision against the Zundelsite with the 
Canadian courts.  Why only then? Did they know of Ernst's pending 
arrest?  Was it a tit-for-tat arrangement where Canada helped the 
U.S. in snaring Maher Arar, and the U.S. did them a favor in return?

  *	And sure enough - on February 5, 2003 Ernst was unexpectedly 
and brutally arrested and has been held in maximum detention in 
Canada ever since, allegedly because he is a "threat to Canada."

  *	Shortly thereafter, I received an overseas call from a 
long-time friend and a very reliable source who told me that someone 
"Šat the highest levels of the U.S. government" had let slip that "Ša 
favor was done to several" in Canada by Ernst Zundel's arrest.   I 
filed this information in the back of my head because we really had 
no proof.  

  *	Throughout 2003 and into 2004, all my attempts to get any 
information whatsoever out of the Memphis INS office regarding 
Ernst's arrest were stonewalled to a degree that was surreal.  In 
desperation, I finally engaged two individuals to help us as private 
detectives.  Through the Freedom of Information Act (and a similar 
Act in Canada) we discovered some suspicious faxes and e-mails, both 
between Canada and the U.S. officials of various departments, but 
also between officials and the U.S. courts.  

To make a very long, complicated story short, let's just say that 
some but not all of these emailed or faxed documents have been leaked 
prematurely on the Internet by a person who meant well but did not 
check with me, which was unfortunate - but may well force the issue.  

Be that as it may, these documents show irrefutable CSIS involvement 
in the 2003 abduction as early as March 2001 - two months BEFORE the 
first interview Ernst is alleged to have "missed" - and on which his 
arrest and subsequent abuse has been based. 

I have been asked:  Are these documents authentic?  Yes, they are. 
They are Freedom of Information Act documents.  I have them in my 
possession and have sent letters and copies to our various attorneys 
as well as private scouts with whom I am still working. 

For the Sherlock Holmes's on our list, some leaked emails look like this:

  Thanks Sheila. 

  Claudette, I am not sure if you will see Dan Cadman or someone else 
in INS in Washington. I fpossible, could you ask them to confirm if 
Ernst Christoff Zundel (24 July 1939, Germany) is in fact an Alien 
Resident of US now, as per info from Service and in media. He was 
landed in Canada in 1958 but has been denied CC as you knoq. If we 
can confirm his US residence we may be able to strip him of his PR in 
Canada. Many thanks, Ian

  Yaron, 

  Just a quick heads-up. I received a letter from CSIS Legal Counsel, 
Murray Rodych, which indicates that Mr Zundel has moved to the United 
States where he now resides permanently with his wife. This may 
provide CIC with grounds for potential enforcement action under s. 24 
of the Immigration Act.

Once these emails were posted on various websites, Internet Service 
Provider Bernard Klatt wrote the following informative letter to Kirk 
Makin, ace reporter for the Globe and Mail:

  Globe and Mail 

  Attn: Kirk Makin 

  Re: CSIS Internal Security Compromised ? 

  Dear Mr. Makin,  Thank you for the one of the few reasonably 
objective commentaries on Ernst Zundel's continued imprisonment. 
(http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20040306/ZUND 
EL06/Comment/Idx ) 

  As one of the persons named in the CSIS unclassified "summary" re: 
Zundel, I have some interest in following this case. Yesterday I 
noticed a posting at 
http://www.overthrow.com/lsn/news.asp?articleID=6812 that purports to 
be a partial release of CSIS/CIC secret, intelligence-related, 
internal emails regarding Ernst Zundel. 

  It appears someone forwarded a large collection of emails to Bill 
White (Overthrow.com). If real, this could prove to be an enormous 
embarassment for CSIS (which prides itself on having 'security' 
expertise) because it could mean that CSIS has been penetrated by a 
'mole/spy' who managed to collect 4 years of email regarding Ernst 
Zundel. 

  If this person managed to collect CSIS/CIC email regarding Zundel, 
it is highly likely that they also managed to collect CSIS/CIC 
secret, intelligence-related, internal e-mails regarding other 
persons or topics as well. 

  Or.. it could mean that the much vaunted CSIS 'security' expertise 
has been severely compromised by an outside hacker. Perhaps one of 
the CSIS agents PC's has a keyboard logger/trojan installed on it and 
is being accessed remotely by a hacker. 

  Either way, there is tremendous potential for an investigative 
reporter to get a really interesting story here. Perhaps you would be 
interested in following up this lead? 

  Sincerely, 

  --Bernard Klatt

  The following is, apparently, from Paul Fromm, although it came to 
me a bit garbled: 

[START]

  "I did do Google searches on all the CSIS/CIC names mentioned and 
they are definitely real. The attached Word document is what I found 
via Google and  contains the fixed up email addresses for the agents. 
The stuff posted on  Overthrow.com contains spelling errors and most 
of the agents email addresses are incomplete. The last 5 characters 
(@CINA) needs to be expanded to  ( CINA.CIC.GC.CA ) to form a valid 
email address. 

  	I see Paul Yurack sent the following email to ybb Yaron 
suggesting "grounds for potential enforcement action under s. 24 of 
the Immigration Act." The first name "Yaron" is a distinctly 
Israeli/Jewish male name. Is it too late for Peter Lindsay to attempt 
to determine the identity of this "Yaron" individual? Is there some 
reason CIC counsel Yurack, needs to be emailing an Israeli/Jewish 
person regarding Zundel? 

  From: Yurack.Paul at 8850BLD@CINA, on 03/08/2001 5:43 PM  To: ybb  cc,

Yaron,  Just a quick heads-up. I received a letter from CSIS Legal 
Counsel, Murray Rodych, which indicates that Mr Zundel has moved to 
the United States where he now resides permanently with his wife. 
This may provide CIC with grounds for potential enforcement action 
under s. 24 of the Immigration Act.  Paul A Yurack, Counsel/Avocat  

  	If ybb Yaron is on staff at CSIS or Citizenship and 
Immigration Canada (CIC), there should be a reasonable apprehension 
of bias due to his apparent Israeli/Jewish identity. Or.. is ybb 
Yaron someone on staff at the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Simon 
Weisenthal Centre, B'nai Brith,  or the Israeli embassy, etc..? If 
so, why is Yurack e-mailing him about Zundel?"

  	Section 24 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act 
states: "A foreign national who, in the opinion of the officer, is 
inadmissible or does not meet the requirements of this Act, becomes a 
temporary resident if an officer is of the opinion that it is 
justified in the circumstances." It would appear that Paul Yurack may 
have contemplated that, by a given date, Mr. Zundel might have lost 
his landed immigrant status, and, therefore, be subject to much more 
arbitrary measures.

All this bears questioning in Court.

What do you say to all of this?  What do I say?  Just one small 
question for inquiring minds who want to know:

CSIS Legal Counsel, Murray Rodych, mentioned in the emails, is the 
very attorney aiding Mr.  MacIntosh, lead counsel of the government. 
One of the reasons claimed for refusing Ernst bail and keeping him in 
Canada's Guantanomo Bay equivalent prison is that a great to-do was 
made by Mr. MacIntosh and Murray Rodych that Ernst allegedly 
"flouted" U.S. Immigration by having missed an interview. 

What role did CSIS Legal Counsel, Mr. Murray Rodych, play to have 
that interview canceled-  and letters from the files disappear?

There will be more, you may be sure.  Stay tuned.
