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

  July 28, 2004

  Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

  I have been waiting for the rest of this report regarding the latest 
Zundel hearing from Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Free Speech 
Association, but Paul is on the road a lot, as we all are - so I'll 
just send you what I have, in addition to what Ernst told me.

  Paul first:

  [START]

  	TORONTO. July 27, 2004. It was high noon. Dressed in a light 
gray suit, a white shirt, a cream coloured vest and cream tie, 
Canada's most famous free speech lawyer was finally summoned to the 
witness stand. Most of the morning at the hearing for political 
prisoner Ernst Zundel was consumed by Crown attempts to prevent or 
limit the testimony of the Battling Barrister from Victoria who had 
been German dissident Zundel's lawyer for 18 years, until December, 
2003, when family illness called him back home.

  	The tall lawyer strode to the witness stand. Would he swear 
or affirm, he was asked. Indicating that he would swear his oath to 
tell the truth, Mr. Christie was handed a book. It was the Moslem 
Koran. 

  "I want a Bible," he said. The request had to be repeated. A 
somewhat flummoxed Judge Pierre Blais eventually had to send to the 
judges' chambers to locate a copy of the Christian book which is 
sacred to the vast majority of Canadians. 

  Before swearing, Mr. Christie, a conservative Catholic,  opened the 
leather-covered black book and briefly examined it to make certain it 
was the Christian Bible.

  	In calling Doug Christie as a witness, Mr. Zundel's new 
defence lawyer Peter Lindsay made one of the most dramatic moves in 
free speech trials since defence lawyer Clarence Darrow called 
assistant prosecuting attorney William Jennings Bryan to the witness 
stand in the famous 1926 Monkey Trial in Tennessee.

  	Mr. Christie began his testimony by emphatically explaining 
that Mr. Zundel had rejected violence and condemned people who 
involved themselves in violence. 

  Such tactics are utterly counterproductive, Mr. Christie, quoted Mr. 
Zundel as warning. "Mr. Zundel repeatedly said that every good White 
man should behave like a noble person," Mr. Christie testified. --

  [END]

  From what Ernst said to me last night, I infer that it looks like 
the anticipated September 16 deportation has been averted or 
postponed once more.  No hearing on bail has been held, even though 
Ernst was entitled to that hearing, and even though we had fully 
expected another shameful judicial gyration denying bail.  If the 
poor Arabs, who have been in detention much longer than Ernst, don't 
get bail, is he going to be the exception?  Also, the second day of 
hearing was canceled - and, as I remember it, will now be held on 
August 9th.

  Media was plentiful this time.  Was something dramatic expected - 
and derailed by Doug Christie on the stand? 

  Ernst also said - and this needs to go on the record - that the 
judge made quite an overt effort stating that he wanted to get to the 
bottom of CSIS's suspected involvement in the parcel bomb that was 
sent to the Zundel-Haus in 1995, chiding the government lawyers for 
not cooperating in producing the elusive witness, the petty 
thief/turned CSIS agent/turned anti-CSIS snitch/turned Catholic 
teacher, John Farrell, who was the main informant for the Mitrovica 
book, Covert Entry, implicating CSIS for at least having 
foreknowledge that the bomb was on the way via Canadian Air with some 
300 passengers aboard.  

  Ernst believes that the judicial/government strategy is now to lean 
on Farrell to recant the information given to Mitrovica so as to 
whitewash CSIS.  If the Zundel defense succeeds in getting Farrell on 
the stand, and Farrell says, squirming, he made it all up, it lets 
CSIS off the hook to dig deeper.  Farrell's job, in other words, will 
now be to deliver the whitewash. 

I wouldn't want to be in his shoes, if he doesn't deliver the goods!

  Ernst also said something I wish I had taped because of the way he 
expressed it.  I know that the impact of his words will be lost in my 
recalling it, but the gist of it was that he feels utterly at peace 
with what has been accomplished with this latest martyrdom, because 
it served a cosmic purpose.  Three Zundel submission to the Supreme 
Court challenging the Marxist New World Order tactics are now 
pending. 

He said that these three documents were written with passion and 
emotion by competent, committed lawyers, and that these documents, 
thanks to the Internet where they will be posted before long, will be 
true icons for the historical record.  He said that since it seems to 
have been his fate, once more, symbolically speaking, to hold the 
enemies' toes to the fire by documenting their misdeeds for all the 
world to see, he feels that these three documents will have 
accomplished that. 

He said that he feels he accounted himself well and was up to the 
challenge against very great odds.

  He said that if Western society, at least in Canada and, by 
extension, the United States that pimped for the Holocaust Lobby in 
cooperating in his arrest, is THAT indifferent to what is happening 
judicially that they don't choose to see how the New World Order will 
take over their own world by setting precedents, he has no business 
any more in Canada staying and fighting this battle. 

With an utterly calm voice, he said, he is content to go to Germany 
to finish what will be his task to complete.

  It was quite a speech, delivered hesitatingly but with an almost 
deadly calm, and I am not doing it justice by giving it my voice. 
Ernst also said what I have heard before:  That past injustices and 
cruelties inflicted on the planet demand to be avenged, because the 
Universe is out of kilter, and it can't right itself until the past 
has been avenged. 

He did not say that he was advocating it.  He only said it was a 
given, that it was written thus in cosmic language, and so it was 
going to happen.
