Update on the planned Zundel Demonstrations May 6 in the United States:


Many of you have asked for additional information about how to 
contact groups or individuals who are willing to participate in the 
May 6 Zundel demonstration.  Unfortunately, I don't have such contact 
lists.  These demonstrations form spontaneously, which is politically 
expedient for reasons I don't care to explain. We are living in 
perilous times. 

However, there are many Freedom of Speech groups and organizations in 
your area.  They don't have to be revisionists.  For instance, I 
tried a Google search for "Freedom of Speech organizations Boston" 
and got all kinds of useful links.  Try it and spend an hour getting 
links and contacts.

Many of these organizations have news groups who might be willing to 
distribute our press releases.  Be prepared for rejections as well. 
Be prepared to have abuse heaped on your efforts.  Verbal and written 
abuse is always a sign of where the demarcation lines are between 
those who cherish freedom of speech and those who either do not 
understand the nature of our struggle or who operate on the 
camouflaged censorship side.  Don't be discouraged.  We are up to our 
knees in an information war where we might find allies where we least 
expect them.

Also, please remember that if you cannot join an organized 
demonstration group, you can always call, fax, or write.  Your voice 
will make a difference! 

What should you say when you contact German government officials? 
Put your protest into the form of questions. 

Ask if the following is true:

>>>
 Is it true that the Embassy of Washington, D.C. participated in 
>>>a coordinated kidnap ambush of Ernst Zundel?
>>>
 Is it true that an arrest warrant was sworn out by the German 
>>>government on the very day of the Zundel deportation to Canada, 
>>>even though the statutes of limitation on previous charges for 
>>>"speech crimes" had expired?
>>>
 Is it true that Ernst Zundel has not yet been charged by the 
>>>German government, even though he has been in detention in a 
>>>German prison for almost two months?
>>>
 Is it true that his wife's letters are withheld - that as far as 
>>>she knows, not one of her personal letters have reached him?
>>>
 Is it true that Germany, a so-called "democratic" country, has 
>>>prosecuted tens of thousands of its own citizens for "speech 
>>>crimes" with heavy fines and/or imprisonment?
>>>
 Is it true that it is no longer safe to travel to Germany, even 
>>>for non-German citizens?  (Mention the 1995 arrest of the 
>>>German-American author, Hans Schmidt)
>>>
 Is it true that there is an arrest warrant out for Dr. Ingrid 
>>>Rimland, an American citizen, wife of Ernst Zundel, for a website 
>>>on an American server she and she alone has owned and operated 
>>>since 1994? 
>>>
 Is it true that this arrest warrant is, in fact, Europe-wide?

Tell the Ambassador/Consul that your letter is a formal, specific 
request for a reply that you want to make available to media.  (Be 
sure to send those replies to me for our archives!)

Thank you very much!
