Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

We are having inordinate problems getting the ZGrams through and do not seem to be able to pinpoint the problem. I shipped yesterday's ZGram via another server, and it seems to make no difference - readers do not get them. I have NO idea what's what! Of course I'm busy guessing! The ZGRam below is a filler. It is hardly original, but I saved it for a days such as today where my ZGram might just disappear again in the blue yonder. I go around saving all these Zundel tidbits, and today I am shipping a small collection of them that came from an Australian media interview. I thought newcomers would enjoy them:

• I am in favor of (all people) having the right to present their version of how they perceive history-be it the so-called 'Holocaust,' politically incorrect ideas in general, National Socialism in particular etc. etc. I only want that same right to present my viewpoint fairly, reasonably and honestly, not under constant threat of criminal prosecution.
• The issues before us are complex and serious. Millions of peoples' lives or their deaths are the issue here. People were hanged for "crimes" that were apparently never committed.
• For people who went through the war, as I did as a child, Revisionism is very serious business. For the first time in 50+ years' worth of post-war vilification of the German people and nation, it is possible for many people to get to read, and to reflect on, an alternate point of view about Germany's role in recent history. That is the mission of the Zundelsite.
• This website was conceived as a convenient means for total newcomers to find out about our way of thinking. Ordinary mail is sometimes considered intrusive. People might resent receiving a newsletter, tape or booklet with unfamiliar political content. The Zundelsite functions like a library. The public can inform themselves at their own choice and leisure. The 'shelves' are there; people can choose to look at material or by-pass it if it offends them.
• This is still virgin territory, historically speaking. Especially young people are amazed that we are not a bunch of low-brow skinheads shouting racial slogans. We are rational people who offer a respectably body of very serious forensic, historical and scientific research and evidence that call into question the traditional dogma of the 'Holocaust' and related subjects. The Net is an efficient tool to get our viewpoint looked at or heard. We expose Revisionism to people we could not reach in any other way.
• A website is extremely economical. We save literally thousands of dollars per month while getting in touch with thousands of mainly young people the world over - youngsters of good mental caliber. Various sources have claimed that as many as half of standard Internet users are young, well-educated, upwardly mobile - in other words, potential future leaders.
• Do we receive a lot of abusive feedback? No. You could not be more wrong. When we first started posting our version of history on the Zundelsite, we received four or five hate mail letters for every letter that was positive. Now this is totally reversed.
• Almost all our mail is positive; a lot of it is actually emotional and often out-and-out ecstatic. We are amazed at the thoughtful, serious inquiries we constantly receive from university students and scholars from as far away as Malaysia and South Africa. Very serious Revisionist research is now going on all over the world-research that can be grounded, backed, bolstered and double-checked from documents downloaded from our website.
• The occasional hate mail letter is rare and usually contains some choice language with little content or rationale. We don't reply to hate mail and to spams. It is a waste of time.
• You ask about the linking of "pornography" and "Holocaust Denial" as they call it - I like to call it not "denial" but skepticism. You cannot deny what did not take place. Regarding pornography, the fight against pornography has always been the cloak the tyrant likes to wear. There is NO common dimension to our Revisionist material and pornography.
• The ploy is very old, however. Traditionally, the enemies of freedom the world over have always lumped "hate literature" as they like to call it - I guess because they hate the truth that it contains! - and pornography together. In various police departments and customs offices in Canada we have so-called "Hate Literature and Pornography" sections to fix in people's minds the notion that the two terms are equally dirty - and interchangeable.
• The pairing of the terms is not coincidence. The claim that children will be hurt is not coincidence. It rouses the emotions. A psychological warfare technique is employed. The CDA was rammed through US Congress in ways a similar law was never forced down people's throats regarding other media such as radio, TV or print - all media outlets that peddle smut day-in, day-out. The enemies of freedom knew all too well what they were doing when rousing the fundamentalist spirit. The censors traditionally like to enlist "decent people" as dupes in their censorship games.

Ernst Zündel Thought for the Day: "These Holocaust deniers are very slick people. They justify everything they say with facts and figures." (Steven Some, Chairman, New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, as quoted in Smith's Report, November 1996)
