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

November 21, 2004

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Herewith I am posting a correction regarding yesterday's ZGram.  I 
wrote that I had been told, but did not know for sure, that Germar 
Rudolf, one of the world's most renown and productive Revisionists, 
had been arrested for "Holocaust Denial".  THIS IS NOT TRUE.  Germar 
called me yesterday afternoon and told me that, so far, he was safe, 
but that he was taking precautions in case of just such a development.

I had posted what I had been told because it was a weekend and I 
feared that Germar would be whisked out of the country before legal 
steps could be taken by his family and friends to protect him.  When 
Ernst was arrested almost two years ago, disaster hit us out of the 
blue.  I was not allowed to call an attorney and was not allowed to 
see him for days - and then only once, for only maybe 20 minutes 
behind bullet-proof glass, after a surreal runaround by the prison 
officials where he was temporarily detained before he was thrown into 
a hellhole of a prison in another country where to this very day he 
is being humiliated and mistreated in an ice cold cell with 
inadequate food and where even his Global Priority mail from his 
family is being routinely withheld. 

After the arrest, I was not told by anybody what would happen to 
Ernst, where he would be sent, if I had any recourse to stop the 
deportation.  I could not get ANY information whatsoever out of the 
agency, INS/Homeland Security, that initiated the arrest.  In fact, I 
haven't to this day! 

When five law enforcement officials come roaring up your driveway in 
several vehicles, without an arrest warrant, with bullet-proof vests, 
hands on their guns, forcing you to sign a paper you know contains 
false information, not allowing you your rights such as a call to 
your attorney, put handcuffs and leg irons on you and push you in a 
paddy wagon without permitting you to say good-bye to your own 
family, it is a traumatic event for the loved ones left behind.  This 
is very frightening to any family, and since I knew that Germar had 
recently married and his wife is not known in revisionist circles, I 
wanted Germar's friends to contact her.  Since I did not know the 
support system Germar has built for himself, I wanted to alert people 
to look into the situation while there was still time and see if they 
could help. 

Below is what Germar put out as an explanation:

[START]

Dear friends, customers, supporters, and enemies!

There are rumors spreading on the internet that I, Germar Rudolf, was 
arrested. This is NOT true. I am still free and alive, and I am in no 
immediate danger to get arrested and/or deported.

On Nov. 15, I did send an email to a few friends informing them about 
the negative decision of the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization 
Services (INS) to grant me political asylum. (I reproduce that 
message below.) I did not intend to have that message spread widely, 
because I was not prepared for the reaction. But because some of the 
recipients did spread it, things are now out in the open, and I have 
to adress it.

Because of this, I keep receiving many inquiries of people who want 
to know more, in particular who want to know how they can help. I 
therefore spent the last five days preparing a new website that is 
totally dedicated to my case:

<http://www.germarrudolf.com>www.germarrudolf.com. I already set some 
links to it from my revisionist website 
<http://www.vho.org>www.vho.org, even though it isn't quite ready to 
be launched yet.

Please visit http://www.germarrudolf.com for more information about 
me, my case, my views and works, and how you can help. This site will 
also have news about my situation, should it change.

Thank you very much!

====================

Dear friends!

Last week I received the final decision of the INS Board of Appeals 
regarding my case: They simply refused to look at it and confirmed 
the decision by the INS court "without opinion".

The decision of the INS court was handed down in summer 2003: They 
claim I filed a frivolous application, resulting in: involuntary 
departure (=in handcuffs to Germany), banned for a lifetime (I can 
never return to the US), and no remedy (not even my current marriage 
or anything else can change that). This verdict is similar to what 
Ernst Zündel faced in February 2003.

We now have to file an appeal to a Federal Court until early 
December. There is a slim chance that this court will refuse to hear 
my case as well. If that happens, I will be in a German dungeon early 
next year. In case they do hear my case, they will probably decide 
later next year. Whether it will result in a chance of having a 
remedy (my marriage) needs to be proven. Theoretically they have to 
throw all due process laws into the dust bin to deny me that right, 
because legally speaking I was sentenced for a crime (frivolous 
application = forgery of evidence) of which I was neither accused 
during the trial, nor does the verdict claim to have any evidence for 
it. To compare what the INS has done with a penal parallel: They 
accused me of theft during the trial, but in the written verdict they 
suddenly sentenced my for murder, without even claiming that there is 
any evidence that I murdered anyone. But it would not be the first 
time that courts break the law in order to do exactly that: getting 
rid of revisionists. I therefore do not have too many illusions.

Since all of my IDs have expired, I sit in a trap here without 
another chance to go elsewhere. So if that appeal to the Federal 
Court fails, the worldwide productivity of revisionism will go down 
90% for five years to come (I hope they put all of my thought crimes 
into one case, or otherwise it may result in ten years plus...).

During the next several days I will get in touch with some of you in 
order to make sure, that my website and all other vital life signs of 
revisionism as created by me keep buzzing should I go lopsided.

Thanks

Germar
