Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

One of the youngest kids involved in our historic struggle is a young man, Marc Lemire, who has been lately in the news a lot in Canada because he was the one whom the Wiesenthal people moved heaven and earth to try to run off the Net.

The papers have referred to Marc as a "computer genius"; in recent weeks he has been the selected target of a great deal of Net abuse, but he is undeterred. They destroy; he rebuilds; they destroy; he rebuilds. He is like an ant - it's his nature.

When I met Marc, I must confess that he intimidated me half to death with his computerese - and I am glad that he is now my friend. We need kids like Marc in this struggle.

I know nothing of Marc's background except that he is one of those whom our public schools tried to obliterate by withholding both values and skills, and that Ernst found him somewhere, picked him up and gave him an old-fashioned dusting, and when Ernst mentioned that in passing once when I was visiting and Marc was there as well, Marc simply looked sheepish and nodded.

Late yesterday, Marc notified me that for this Sunday afternoon he is planning a First: he will broadcast live from his computer. He mentioned more - which was, of course, Chinese to me and always will be, I suspect. Therefore, I e-mailed back immediately and said: Plain English, please! - and here is what he wrote for us computer simpletons:

"This is a first for me and the entire movement across North America, so I wanted to see what type of response we could get to a 'LIVE' speech via the Internet.

It's real simple. Paul Fromm and Ron Gostick are speaking to a group in Toronto tomorrow. I am going to bring down all my computer equipment, set up mics and record it.

Every 10-30 minutes during the speech, I will be uploading the (WAV) recorded audio of what they are saying. We need to know if we can handle multiple hits, in case we do the same with Ernst Zundel.

Seems pretty simple. :)"

Easy for him to say!

As far as I know, a live broadcast has never before been done - and I liken Marc's idea a bit to the action of Lindbergh who was the first who flew the "Spirit of St. Louis" (?) across the ocean from America to England (?).

Here is what's planned this afternoon:

"The Alternative Forum Presents:

Ron Gostick, Founder and Director of the "Canadian League of Rights" and Paul Fromm, Research Director of "Citizens for Foreign Aid Reform", will
