May 24, 1996

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:




My inner circle was notified that I would be gone for a week, and to hold their thoughts and e-mail. As it happened, I was gone four days but had a change of schedule. I am now back and catching up on my mail with a vengeance.

I had prepared a number of ZGrams to be shot into space in my absence; however, given the items below, I think I will postpone a few of them when I am gone again.

In any case, here is a bullet potpouri-the good, the bad and the ugly.

A blizzard of newspaper write-ups has resulted from Ernst's quotes in National Geographic chastising Canada for its destructive immigration policies. Sx mayors of Toronto and vicinity have had a get-together to chastise the National Geographic in turn in a protest letter for letting Ernst Zündel, of all people, have his say.


According to one of my Canadian regulars who feeds me information on the climate of our Neighbor to the North, the articles come in such headlines in Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, as: "Zundel Interview Provokes Outcry"--May 13, "National Geographic Item Shows Rare Insight"--May 17, and "Zundel Protest A Useful Lesson"--May 20, as well as Peter Worthington's "Tonk's cheap publicity stunt" who wrote:


". . . Over the years, Zündel has become something of a household demon more reviled than satan, thanks to a misguided campaign that started more than 20 years ago to get him punished for disseminating hate (he doesn't believe the Holocaust happened). . . "


Comments my correspondent:


". . . All resulting from a few simple commentaries Zündel gave a National Geographic reporter relative to the downside of the multicult scene in Toronto. In today's [May 21] G & M the lead item in the Letters column headlined "National Geographic" included letters by 3 correspondents more or less attacking Ernst-two "less" and one "more," as it were.


There is a delightful irony at work here. The articles, and the letters written and published in response to them, bristled with resentment that Ernst Zundel should have become a player in our socio-political landscape-indeed, quite an important player!-and be treated and recognized as such by certain segments of the media.


They bitterly and jealously resented this fact, yet their very jealous resentment - and the space and newsprint devoted to ventilating it - by a major Canadian daily actually reinforced the sense of Zündel's importance as a significant player, while at the same (time) validating and even heightening that importance by the very act of contesting it.


His critics and detractors have boxed themselves into a lose-lose situation. It couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch of people. . . "

Soon, Zundelgate will go into high gear in Ottawa. This is the perfect time to flood Canada's Premier Jean Chretien's life with illuminating revisionist e-mail. He needs it very badly because not all that long ago, he delivered himself of the gem that ". . . Holocaust deniers are not welcome in Canada." I have been told that the resulting protest mail has made him eat his words.


His address is: pm@pm.gc.ca. Please let him know that Ernst is not alone!


* There is stark evidence that one more lustrous eminence in the opposing camp now "doubts the "Holocaust." In the "News in Brief" section of the May 15 '96 issue of the "Crescent", an Islamic newspaper, to our joy we read the following:


". . . Britain's chief rabbi, Dr. Johnathan H. Sacks, in an open letter dated March 6, 1996, addressed to the community, called for revising the 'Six million' figure of Jews killed during the second world war.


He said that it was important to find out how many people, presumed dead, were still alive. He said it was far more important to unite families than to live with a figure arrived at quite arbitrarily. . . "


After word came that Northwestern University was trying to censor one of their own for being Politically Incorrect, Dr. Arthur Butz, author of "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century" (butz@delta.eecs.nwu.edu) wrote this:


". . . Apart from the note in Chronicle of Higher Education (which I haven't actually seen, although their reporter called me Thursday), there has been no indication of anything going on. The University administration has said nothing to me.


I don't know if the Daily Northwestern is aware of this story; I hope they publish something in the remaining five issues for the academic year. I will let you know if anything appears there.


The Daily Northwestern will accept letters to the editor via e-mail, provided a telephone number is given for the author. The address is daily@merle.acns.nwu.edu . . . "


And speaking of university censorship, the University of Wisconsin/Madison is advertising an interesting, full-time position-a "network investigator" who would ". . . examine pranks, harassment, copyright infringement, software thievery and other computer system misuses and abuses. . . "


Officials envision an individual who will ". . . track down, retrieve and restore offending electronic communication. . . "


This "computer cop," according to university officials, will police the electronic traffic of its students and faculty. Any guess as to whether or not that would include "mischief" in such thought crimes areas as Revisionism? Here is the salient part: ". . . The evidence would be turned over to university officials or police. . . "


Munchousens exist! I have the evidence! Writes one of my overseas (?) correspondents:


". . . I am a physician and I have dealt with medical Muenchhausen patients. I also have first hand contact and experience with the other-and, in my opinion-less ill, but much more contemptible kind. They practice their art in private contacts, in press releases and lately in the Spielberg interviews. . . "


This correspondent also writes:


". . . Your discussion of the situation in Iraq found me in complete agreement. Not only do I remember General Powell's remarks just like you do, I do not remember ever having heard anything as cruel before-certainly not from any German Army leader.


Whether the remark was directed against the Iraqi Army or against the people may be disputed. The current fact is that Iraq is sealed off just like a giant KZ and people inside are being starved deliberately. . . "


Another ZGram reader writes:


". . . I am in need of a readily available reference of the extent to which German cities were bombed in WWII, particularly the incendiary raids. Can anyone help here? Thanks in advance. . ."


Send the information to me, and I will pass it on.


Here is a young, delightful lady:


". . . My name is Andrea Stuart and I am a Junior at Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD. I am doing a television show next Tuesday night about the Holocaust and revisionism, and I am looking for guests.


I read some of your material on the web and it is interesting. If you live in the Washington, D.C. area, I think you would make an excellent guest. If not, if you know of someone in the area, that would be almost as good. .= . "


Anybody out there helping this enterprising youngster out? Andrea can be reached at astuart@people.mbhs.edu.


A South African ANA subscriber brought to our attention a web page devoted to Kmdt. Willem Ratte. Check it out at http://www.webcom.com/perspekt/subpages/spes/spese.html to learn more about this Boer and see what the communists in his country are doing to him. There is also a petition that you can sign at the web site.


And, finally, here is yet one more evidence testifying to the "nine lives of a cat" myth of the "Holocaust":


". . . You'll have a hard time convincing me that there were no gas chambers for the eradication of Jews in Germany during World War II, because a few years ago I went to Germany and toured Dachau prison camp, and that thing I was standing inside sure looked like a gas chamber to me. Right next to the cremation ovens, just down from the mass graves. Just my opinion, for what it's worth. . ."

He said it well-for what it's worth. There now exists, to our knowledge, NO recognized exterminationist willing to say that there were EVER any gassings of human beings going on in Dachau!
