Commentary

In 1984, Ernst Zundel was charged for "spreading false news" by a 
wealthy Holocaust survivor, Sabina Citron, on the basis of two 
documents:  "The West, War, and Islam" and "Did Six Million Really 
Die?"  At the conclusion of a dramatic seven-week, head-line making 
trial, he was pronounced innocent of having "spread false news" with 
his 4-page pamphlet, "The West, War, and Islam" but was pronounced 
guilty for having published - not written! - "Did Six Million Really 
Die?"

The rest is history. 

Ever since, as all the world now knows, the Zundel name became 
synonymous with "Holocaust Denier." 

The first pamphlet was conveniently forgotten.  The booklet, "Did Six 
Million Really Die?" became the Zundel Mark of Cain.

Only recently has Ernst been cleverly "re-christened" by Judge Blais, 
a former CSIS boss,  as the world's most influential "White 
Supremacist", allegedly intent on "destabilizing Germany" and being 
an "international threat to the community of nations."

As I have mentioned many times, only in 1994 did I meet Ernst and 
launch the Zundelsite to help him in his outreach.  It must have been 
that year when I first read, edited, and updated "The West,  War, and 
Islam" to make it more relevant to the mid-Nineties in order to ward 
off the various censorship attempts by vested political interests to 
silence Ernst's message and voice. 

Then I forgot all about it.

Only this morning, as I re-read the small pamphlet, did it strike me 
as highly ironic - here is a man, decried as the world's most 
vociferous "racist" - and what did he say already more than 20 years 
ago?  In the defense of which he paid hundreds of thousands of 
dollars?  While his enemies had their fat bills paid from the 
government trough?  And for which he is now held in prison in his 
native Germany?

You be the judge.  It doesn't sound "racist" to me - as "racism" is 
now understood.

(One final thought, in brackets:  The "Communism" Ernst describes in 
the pamphlet below is what good people now confront as Neo-Con style 
ideology.  In previous decades, it was to us, who are of European 
background, plain murderous Soviet-style, Stalinist-style Communism. 
I disclaim any knowledge of what Arabs now call "Communism" which 
seems to be a different critter altogether, apparently connoting a 
liberation struggle of which we in the West don't have sufficient 
knowledge - or even curiosity.)

THE WEST, WAR, AND ISLAM

By Ernst ZUNDEL

  A message to the Islamic World: The Battle for Freedom Is Won Only 
in the Minds of Men: The West's distorted viewpoint of what is 
loosely called "the Arab world" is Danger Nr.1 for all the Islamic 
Nations

If the typical Islamic person could perceive what the typical 
Westerner thinks about him - his traditions, culture and religion - 
he would be amused, shocked, or perhaps even frightened. To the 
Western mind, the Islamic world is inscrutably bemusing - an exotic 
enigma, part fairy tale, part attitudes formed in colonial times in 
which, frequently, perfectly normal and logical acts are construed 
with misunderstandings and misgivings.

To the Westerner, the Islamic world is a lurid hodge-podge of exotic 
imagery - a myth adapted from 1001 Nights - comprised of huge harems, 
wild sex orgies, opulent palaces, flying carpets, incredible wealth, 
fierce warriors, hordes of thieves, shrewd and dishonest traders, 
cruelty and religious fanaticism.

Take away the flying carpets, and the West could be described in 
similar terms - but neither description would be accurate.

Not only do we need to consider this distorted Western viewpoint - 
which by itself, and minus its negative aspects, would be mere 
ignorance and relatively harmless - but we all must consider that 
these distorted viewpoints are deliberately being used and often 
magnified to goad the West into a future criminal war against the 
Islamic world. These unjust views, already previously held and 
reinforced since the Gulf War, are now the standard thinking by many 
Westerners - and are being used to JUSTIFY such wars!

The West has at its disposal tremendous media facilities for the 
education of the public, but until now, these facilities of 
information, education and entertainment have been largely used 
purposely to misinform, to miseducate, and to instill hatred against 
the Islamic peoples. Just as certainly, this situation has not come 
about by accident.

The West's mainstream media are controlled by a small group of 
unscrupulous men who know exactly what they are doing, and who will 
stop at nothing in order to attain their often criminal and murderous 
ends. This same group of media manipulators and its predecessors 
broadcast and published anti-German propaganda in both world wars and 
included the Japanese as victims and targets of their hate campaigns 
in the Second World War. These men are brainwashing experts. On their 
account, millions of Westerners, who had never met a German or 
Japanese, were inflamed with murderous hatred - sufficiently so that 
they killed millions of persons who might otherwise have been their 
customers and friends.

If it can be done against Germans and Japanese, it can be done 
against the Islamic peoples - and it is being done since 1947 against 
the Palestinians and Israel's neighbors.

We Germans have learned through our own sad experience since World 
War I and II that a nation's salvation lies in its reputation, and a 
nation's reputation depends upon truthful, unbiased information - not 
deliberate misinformation and misrepresentation! The same principle 
is true for the Islamic nations.

Let us now look upon the face of the enemy - your enemy and ours - 
who is responsible for endangering world peace, international 
understanding and, in consequence, your lives and ours.


THE INTERNATIONAL ZIONISTS

The leadership of the West is heavily influenced and often dominated 
by a small minority of this alien political persuasion. Political and 
religious Zionism plays a disproportionately large role in the West 
because of the Zionists' domination of the mass media of information, 
education and entertainment, the banking system, the secret societies 
and a globalist One World conspiracy by an out-of-touch financial and 
political, societal oligarchy of accumulated wealth and power.

Worse yet, these Zionist elements are aided and abetted by millions 
of brainwashed Christians and non-Christians who suffer from the 
previously mentioned media-created distortions about the Islamic 
world and its peoples, whom they believe mistakenly to be "bad", 
based on the stereotypical propaganda image.

Just as mistakenly, the brainwashed Christians of the West have been 
led to believe that some of these frequently quite vicious, greedy 
and often militant people who call themselves "Jews" are "good" - 
simply because the Christian Bible mentions "Jews" as "God's Chosen 
People". Ever since the beginning of World War II, the Zionists and 
their dupes and hirelings have used this self-serving myth as a tool 
for the deception of the Western Christian masses.

I as a German should know, for in Germany a person who questions any 
aspect of the Zionist version of history as expressed in the 
so-called "Holocaust" faces prison for up to five years! In Germany 
alone, over 5,800 people have been prosecuted and fined in the last 
few years. Hundreds have been jailed for expressing doubt about what 
even Jewish Professor Norman correctly refers to as "Šthis Zionist 
version of the history of World War II"!

We see the results of this massive deceit - that is, that Zionist 
interests are identical to Western interests - in the many 
publications and pronouncements of organizations such as the 
"Councils of Christians and Jews", so-called "Brotherhood Weeks", 
"Interfaith Services", conventions, ecumenical workshops, and the 
like. Western Christians have become circumcised mentally by this 
incessant yet false propaganda!

Many Western people, and unfortunately even leaders of governments, 
have come to falsely identify "Jewish" - that is, frequently Zionist 
- interests with their own country's interests, which is exactly like 
a hypnotized person mistaking a deadly poison for nourishing food. We 
have even heard the famous singer and media personality, Pat Boone, a 
Christian, say that there are really only three kinds of Judaism: 
Orthodox, Reformed, and Christian - saying that Christianity is just 
another form of Judaism!


  THE INTERNATIONAL SECRET SOCIETIES

Unknown to most people of the Islamic world is the tremendous power 
and influence exercised in the Western world by some branches of a 
politicized Freemasonry and all its cover organizations, such as the 
Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, etc. Many important Western decision makers, 
politicians, economists, and military officers are either members of 
a secret society or are influenced and often dominated by such 
members. Any educated Muslim can recognize immediately the identity 
of Freemasonry with that of its secretive organizational predecessors 
in Arabic history. This is the same globalist satanic structure which 
we detect in some lodges of Freemasonry, such as the PII Lodge 
involved in the Calvi Affair in Italy in the early seventies - 
secrecy, duplicity, the exercise of undue influence, infiltration, 
corruption of officials and, where necessary, it seems, even 
assassination. That most Freemasons are often unaware of the 
directors and real directions of their secret organization or 
brotherhood does not, it seems, preclude their blind, uncritical 
support of this organization and their obedience to its directives.

The orientation and many of the rituals, emblems and graphic images 
of these secret societies of the West came directly from the Kabbala 
of the Babylonian Talmud. Their content is of allegedly ancient 
Egyptian-Jewish origin; many of their goals today are serving Jewish 
ends; and many of their lodge members and high-ranking Masons have 
been, and are, Jewish. This explains the consistent support of 
Freemasonry for the goals and machinations of International Zionism 
in its many forms. It also explains the politically involved 
Freemasons' consistent role in directing the advance of world crime, 
corruption, vice, poverty, war, revolution, collapse and chaos. All 
this is frequently directed from their high-ranking positions in the 
Western political, economic and, unfortunately, law enforcement and 
military establishments.

On behalf of the Zionists, the Gentile members of these secret 
societies have spread these plagues not only in the West, but 
throughout the entire world in which Western influence today has 
become all-pervasive. Many members, who become aware of their 
organizations' role in causing world suffering, leave disenchanted. 
Others obviously rationalize these horrors as mere desirable "change" 
and as necessary steps in the creation of a utopian world government, 
thus helping to fulfill their Zionist masters' messianic dreams.

President John F. Kennedy stated before his assassination that there 
were 17 million members of various quasi-Freemasonic secret societies 
in the U.S. alone. The most famous one of recent times is George 
Bush, who was a member of "Skulls and Bones" - some weird occult 
outfit. Most U.S. Presidents have been members of such secret 
societies - two notable exceptions being John F. Kennedy, who was 
removed from office by assassination, and, apparently, the non-Mason 
Nixon, who was replaced by 33rd degree Freemason, Gerald Ford.

In one's travels through America and other "Anglo-Saxon" countries, 
one frequently notices that the local Freemasonic temple is usually 
in close proximity to the seat of federal, state or local government 
- usually within easy walking distance of the various state capitals. 
So deeply accustomed are Westerners to the acceptance of these secret 
societies in their midst that they have no misgivings in electing or 
appointing known Freemasons to public office, even clearly though it 
will not always be in the public interest how these public officials 
act. Their acts will, of necessity, sometimes be in the interest of 
their secret society - otherwise, why become a member? And why all 
the secrecy - the secret passwords, the secret handshakes etc., which 
in itself makes the institution anti-democratic in that it gives its 
members a secret edge or "in"?

One has a right to suspect that such public officials' public 
policies will not be made in the broad, open, well-lit public 
offices, but often in the narrow, smoke-filled confines of secret 
conclaves in the company of their equally secret "lodge brothers". No 
wonder U.S. policy always differs in practice from the public 
pre-election promises made by many of these hypocrites!

Even a child could readily perceive the simple and obvious truth: no 
organization which claims to do only good, as claim the various 
Freemasonic organizations, need be secret. But brainwashed children 
become brainwashed adults, and the thorough Zionist brainwashing has 
made the Western majority blind to the enemy of Western traditions 
that works in their very midst. America as a nation is thoroughly 
brainwashed. But Americans are slowly waking up, thanks to the as yet 
uncensored information previously suppressed, but now ever more 
widely available - on the Internet!

But if many Westerners are blind to the dangers of secret societies, 
there is no need for the Islamic peoples to be equally blind!


  THE INTERNATIONAL BANKERS

These men are the focal point for the dark forces arrayed against all 
mankind, for their control of the world's wealth directs and 
determines largely what is done or not done in the real world of 
commerce, industry and government, or whether what is done is for the 
greater public good or will produce evil for those who engage in evil 
schemes.

While the world bankers, it seems, act in perfect harmony with the 
Talmud, they act in perfect defiance of the Koran, for their wealth 
is based on the evil and sin of usury and thereby their wealth is 
acquired without honest, productive work. Judging from the state of 
the world today and the fruits of the bankers' policies, there can be 
no doubt about what these evil men are doing with the vast wealth we 
in America and Germany and the Arab nations have put at their 
disposal!

It is rarely, in the end, to our benefit. More often than not, it has 
led to hardships, wars, and the destruction of morals and ethics in 
our societies.

The Islamic nations are vulnerable to blackmail by the bankers of the 
world who can devalue the currencies of the Arab countries and thus, 
with the stroke of a pen, debauch their money derived from oil 
earnings. They can bribe and browbeat Western governments into 
freezing or seizing Islamic assets - as has happened to Iran, Iraq, 
and Libya, just to name a few.

But the foremost evil concocted and directed by the International 
Bankers was, and to some degree still is, International Communism!


  INTERNATIONAL COMMUNISM

It is fashionable to say that "Communism is dead!" Nothing could be 
farther from the truth! Communism is not dead in the heads of tens of 
millions of brainwashed individual intellectuals, teachers, 
professors, influential individuals in the media and in education, 
both in the East and West. Communism has merely been repackaged and 
recycled - Red China is still Communist with its 1 billion people. 
Although the "threat of Communism" has been removed from Western 
thinking, the fear of Communism is deep. That's why it is still being 
used to smear the image of some of the Arab countries.

We of the West are constantly exposed to Zionist propaganda which 
claims that most Islamic peoples are pro-Communist, and that "little 
Israel" is our only "democratic", anti-Communist ally and bastion in 
the Middle East. This is an outright deception. The Laws of Islam 
forbid atheism!

Much is made by Zionist propagandists of the Islamic world's supposed 
connections with the former Soviet Union, and unfortunately all too 
little is known about the Islamic people's constant antagonism and 
often heroic resistance against the dark forces of atheistic, 
Soviet-style Communism. Few Westerners are aware of the 
contradictions in terms of a so-called "Islamic-Communist Revolution" 
- for that would be as absurd as to believe in "idealistic 
materialism" or "divine godlessness".

Even though "official Communism" is now supposedly dead, Communists 
of greater or lesser degrees still permeate the entire Western 
political, economic, industrial, mass media, and educational 
establishments. So "Red" have many Western government policies become 
that their own people no longer discern them as objectives of a 
Communist world domination by convinced Marxists who pursue their 
goals as ever. Its ways and means still are class struggle and 
revolution - by more clever means! That is the reason why we see 
crippling, politically motivated, recurring waves of strikes, 
inflation, deflation, and more strikes, combined with the systematic 
de-capitalization of the Western industrial economies.

Communism has always fed off and continues to feed off crisis 
situations - therefore, its agents of every hue from pallid pink to 
flaming red act to create as many crises as possible within the 
economic, cultural and social fabric of the West - in order to 
divide, conquer and yet rule the world. Their tactics have changed - 
not their goals! There has only been a change in the tactical 
applications.

The degree to which the West has been infiltrated and dominated and 
largely destroyed by Communists and their sympathizers for about 100 
years is often unknown even to Westerners and most definitely to 
non-Westerners alike. What remains of the West is the glittering 
facade of an internally dilapidated edifice which has been so 
weakened and robbed of spirit by the many internal parasites and 
traitors, who have worked as diligently as termites, that the entire 
structure of the West is threatened with a Soviet Union-like collapse 
or implosion.

It has happened before to great nations. If it could happen to 
ancient Egypt, Greece, Persia and Rome, it certainly can also happen 
to the West, which each day more resembles these ancient 
civilizations in its abundance of material possessions and in its 
poverty of spirit, courage, and wisdom - especially in its will to 
defend itself in order to survive.

What can be done to arrest and, finally, to reverse this dangerous 
decline? How and when can we begin to save ourselves from the 
international destroyers and enslavers of mankind?


  SALVATION MUST COME THROUGH INFORMATION:
OUR PROPOSAL FOR TODAY - TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE!

  The ancient writings of many peoples have noted the fundamental 
importance of information in statements such as: "The Truth Shall 
Make You Free" and "Our people are destroyed for lack of knowledge". 
Resolute human action has always depended upon sound, solid 
information, and the best way of bringing truthful information to the 
people who need it is via the mass media of the press, radio, 
television, educational material, motion pictures, mainstream novels 
- and now the globe-girdling Internet!

The Islamic world has the financial means to publish, broadcast or 
otherwise disseminate the historical, factual data leading to the 
truth - which alone can halt the Zionist drive to new wars and more 
chaos - but because this information would come from and by means of 
"foreign sources", it would be subject to disbelief, censorship, 
interception, jamming and/or outright confiscation. Open or outright 
Arab ownership, like Iranian- or Syrian-owned newspapers or TV 
stations of any major Western newspaper, magazine, radio or TV 
station would also face swift government sanctions, including 
censorship and seizure.

A practical alternative would be the establishment of independently 
owned and operating channels of communication and information within 
the countries of the West, staffed by more fair-minded native 
Westerners. There are still many independent, well-informed, 
courageous and talented people with organizational ability here in 
the West. Even at this late hour, not all Western men of worth, 
intelligence and courage have sold themselves into Zionist control or 
mental slavery. Many are alert and wise to what has happened to 
Western society - and why.

Many more are waking up daily! Many millions are now ready to listen.

There are at this moment already in existence organizations which, if 
properly funded, could become the nucleus of an independent, 
worldwide information network capable of countering the now virtually 
unopposed Zionist disinformation and hate propaganda networks. One 
such example is the Zundelsite, a United States based website that 
has exposed the so-called "Holocaust" as an extortion tool used 
systematically against the two most ardent supporters of Israel - 
Germany and the United States.

No Internet website has been so attacked by German and Canadian 
government and private censorship forces as has the Zundelsite. This 
California-based website has, so far, withstood all attacks because 
it operates under the umbrella protection of the First Amendment to 
the United States Constitution guaranteeing freedom of speech, and it 
is flush with information supplied by independent Western thinkers 
who call the Zionists' bluff and the so-called "Holocaust" the "Hoax 
of the Century" that yields Israel the money, power and excuse to 
occupy the Palestinians and to intimidate its neighbors such as 
Syria, Lebanon, Iran and other Arab nations. Since its brief 
existence, more than 2.5 million Holocaust-related documents have 
been accessed by people the world over.

Take the Holocaust away, and you will have severed the financial 
water well that feeds an evil oligarchy and repressive system!

That is what we CAN do with carefully packaged and tailored 
information. We have already done some of this work in a limited 
fashion, but we lack the money to do so much more. The Nations of 
Islam are entitled to an adequate informational defense. Many people 
of the West are growing wary and weary of Zionists and their criminal 
claims and aims.

  If the necessary funds were available to us and to our organization, 
we could begin such a public truth-in-history information campaign 
immediately.

Please consider seriously what we are proposing:

*	For the cost of one airplane, a whole nation could be 
informed about the true aims of one or more Islamic countries.


*	For the cost of one tank, a public information film could be 
produced and shown, over and over again, on Satellite television 
covering all of North America, to audiences eager to be informed.


*	For the cost of a missile, a book could be published and sent 
free of charge to all the news media representatives of the West

.
*	For the cost of one artillery shell, a well-trained speaker 
could present the Islamic cause at a university symposium or 
international gathering.


*	For the cost of a few rifles, 500 information-packed video or 
audio tape cassettes could be sent to radio stations around the world.


*	For the cost of one rifle bullet, stamps could be bought for 
10 letters bearing the message of inter-ethnic harmony through truth 
and understanding to the remotest corners of the world.


Are expensive and rapidly obsolescent military weapons preferable to 
information about the harmful nature of the "Holocaust" - information 
which can bring better understanding and thus more balanced policies 
which will achieve lasting peace? Are weapons purchases preferable to 
the word of God? Are we just going to continue to enrich the 
capitalist and Zionist warmongers of East and West by continuing to 
buy their killing machines so as to destroy ourselves all the more 
efficiently? The Gulf War should have been a wake-up call for us all 
- East and West, North and South! First World, Second World, or Third 
World!

Surely, none of us want this! Not Muslims, not Westerners!

There is a better way - the way of truthful information. Our way.

Roger Garaudy, the French Revisionist and convert to Islam has 
already taken the Arab countries by storm. And why? It's very simple: 
The key is in the exposure of the so-called Holocaust or alleged 
genocide of the Jews. This evil hoax has made two of the richest 
Western nations mentally subservient to the Zionists, helped them 
spread their misinformation, and is giving them practically unlimited 
financial means for their repressive and destructive policies and 
ends.

We are ready to help you today. Do you understand us? If yes, are you 
ready to help us? Tomorrow may be too late for both of us.
