Good Morning from the Zundelsite:


They are so foolish! Our opposition is so foolish! And now they're showing it in ever more desperate ways!

Ernst has this cartoon that a girl drew for him during his first (1985) Great Holocaust Trial. I wish I could show it to you, but I don't have it handy, so I will describe it to you:

The young artist took the letters "Holocaust" and made them resembling as having come from a brick wall where the mortar is coming apart. Every letter is cracking and crumbling. One has already self-destructed, and on that sorry heap of scrap stands Ernst Zundel, all smiles and compact energy, holding up the "V" for Victory!

For a while, Ernst used this sketch on his letterhead and mailings, but Ernst, being earnest, is not overly fond of cartoons, and it has disappeared from circulation. I have had my eye on that cartoon for quite a while, because it so conveys what we have been saying for some time - the so-called "Holocaust" is crumbling.

Man, is it ever crumbling!

You see that in overt as well as covert ways. It used to be, for instance, that the Canadian press would never use Ernst's name without vociferous, snide comments about the "merchant of hate", his "anti-Semitic hate mongering", "Six million dead" - and on and on, ad nauseam. It was a hate fest every time. It was not to their credit.

The Internet has changed that, because the rest of the community of homo sapiens are not the captives of the Canadian lapdog media. And ever since Ernst Zundel has planned and initiated and is even contemplating additional libel suits against a few of them, a lot of folks have now decided to be a little bit more careful when writing Zundel-lore.

More yet, not a few are beginning to wake up and slide in things to our benefit as to what now gets on the wire. It is no secret to insiders in both camps that Ernst has far more friends and sympathizers within Canadian media and even government bureaucracies than his opponents like.

Here is a good example of at least professional neutrality, which I am putting in my ZGram with comments interspersed to make sure that I am not infringing on the copyright. Entitled "Rights panel to probe Zundel's Web site" and "Zundel faces probe of Internet Web site", this wire comments thusly, as it appeared on Saturday, November 23, in the Toronto Globe and Mail:

"In an unprecedented move, the Canadian Human Rights Commission has ordered hearings into complaints that Holocaust denier Ernst Zundel is promoting hatred on the Internet.

Commission chief Maxwell Yalden said yesterday he believes that the commission has jurisdiction to shut down Mr. Zundel's Web site, even though it's based at a computer in California."

Well, Kommissar Yalden may BELIEVE he has that jurisdiction, but that has to be proven to be so - if need be, all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada, which wouldn't be the first time. Yalden's logic is a bit askew, as evidenced by what he is quoted as saying:

"'The signal's being picked up here, and where it's originating doesn't make any difference,' Mr. Yalden said in an interview."

Gee. Does that mean that if I, an American, speak on my private telephone to somebody in Canada, Mr. Yalden has the right to make me stop? And fine me up to $100,000? Not very likely - is it?

And, actually, there is an even finer point he might want to consider: People from Canada have to "visit" the United States to pick up what the Zundelsite is offering. In other words, THEY have to initiate the contact. Not Ernst. And not Ingrid. We are merrily posting - that's all! If no one cares to visit, we'll sit here by ourselves!

The article goes on to say:

"Governments around the world have had little success so far in policing the Internet.

Mr. Zundel's site contains material disputing facts about the Holocaust and detailing his numerous legal battles. 'In the United States what I do is legal and I believe what I do in Canada is legal,' Mr. Zundel said in an interview from Toronto.

He said Mr. Yalden wants to treat his computer site as if it were a taped telephone message. But Mr. Zundel said his Internet is interactive and contains links to two Jewish sites and the Simon Wiesenthal Centre, permitting dialogue about issues."

That is a minor misquote, according to Ernst Zundel. He said that we have links on every single document to Nizkorites (who, for good measure, claim not six but twice as many millions . . . ) and lately we have added one to the official Simon Wiesenthal Center in the United States. So that makes two. But it's a tiny point.

The CP wire next says this, to our blazing joy:

"There is no technical way for Canadian companies that provide Internet access to block Mr. Zundel's site, said Margo Langford, vice president for Istar Internet and a board member of the Canadian Association of Internet Providers.

'One could hold an Internet company liable ultimately in a court case - but they (the commission) would have to go outside the jurisdiction in Canada.'"

Well, that is the crux of the matter. These slick Lieutenants to the Holocaust Promotion Lobby count on being able to hoof it all over the law.

The other day I talked to Ernst and said to him: "You know what? If they keep this up, you will yet decimate the Human Rights Commission," and Ernst said very quietly, "Well? Isn't that what they deserve?"

How often have I said this? This is no longer about Ernst?

This is about territoriality - and Holocaust terrorism. That Beria outfit called the Human Wrongs Commission is Beria Business on Western, so-called "democratic" soil - and even the mainstream press are getting amazingly wise to what they now have on their hands.

Finally, the article concludes, still quoting the board member of the Canadian Association of Internet Providers:

"'Mr. Zundel's material is not on the Canadian companies' computers, she said. 'Clearly you can't stop one computer from talking to another computer, one telephone caller from speaking to another caller, and that's what the Internet is.'

But Mr. Yalden said the Canadian Human Rights Act gives the commission jurisdiction over telephone communications, and Internet messages are transmitted over telephone lines."

The Zundel-Watch is on. Now we shall see. A lot of folks will watch what comes out of those Hearings.

And "Beria Business" may well replace what is still "Shoah Business".
