Last weekend, word went out to put all available forces favorable to
the Zundel-Haus to do research on, among other items, the backgrounds of
the members of the Human Rights Commission who are going to be the bludgeon
instrument to help our opponents to shut down the Zundelsite.
Immediately, I noticed that there was trouble on the Net.
Now, even though I am the bane of my computer man with my poor grasp of
how these critters work, I remember saying to myself:
"Now IF I were the opposition, and IF I had rendered overzealous service
to some factions, and IF I knew or guessed what was now being done around
the Zundel-Haus, and IF I had the power others always claim I do - what
would I do to stop the Zundelists? I would simply disable the Net."
But even so, I thought our trouble was coincidence. Well, almost. In the
back of my mind played this tape.
It wasn't until AFTER the weekend that Webcom, our server, came out with
the story of the massive electronic spam - a spam that emanated out of Canada
and crippled some 3,000 websites during the busiest part of the Christmas
season of the year - that I, and others, realized that chances were that
it was once again the Zundelsite that had triggered an attack of Holocaust
Promoters' Panic - and the subsequent act of international commercial Holocaust
terrorism.
Even so. Our opposition always insists that conspiracies do not exist except
in the minds of some rednecks - or, alternately of course, when various
Jewish "Defense" or "Human Rights" organizations see
"Nazis" and "White Supremacists" under every bed.
What if I tell you now that it has been determined by official sources checking
out this economic sabotage that the attack came out of a small college located
in the small city of Nanaimo on the small Island of Vancouver - which is
also the headquarters (read "P.O. Box") of Nizkor and its dedicated
computer volunteer force?
Yesterday, it was on Canadian news every hour on the hour!
It is in my ZGrams this morning for the simple reason that there is such
a thing as a Memory Hole into which an amazing amount of pertinent information
pertaining to the Holocaust Promotion Industry gets dumped.
Meanwhile, there is still the Zundel Offensive.
This morning, Sabina Citron's lawyers will be served with a notice that,
once again, Ernst Zundel is asking the Federal Court of Canada to look at
this latest harassment using quasi legal bodies such as the CHRC to silence
and financially break the one man in Canada they have not been able to cow.
Here is the press release:
"Canadian-based human rights activist Ernst Zundel has applied in the Federal Court of Canada for judicial review of the decision of the Canadian Human Rights Commission to proceed on two complaints against him under Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
The complaints were laid by Zundel's long-time detractor, Sabina Citron, and the Toronto Mayor's Committee on Community and Race Relations, and allege that Zundel is discriminating against Jews by publishing his opinions on the Zundelsite, the World Wide Web Internet site which makes available to readers a German view of World War II. The Web page is located in California.
Zundel's court application alleges that the complaints of Citron and the Mayor's Committee are an abuse of process and vexatious in that they involve the same opinions and views for which he has been investigated and prosecuted during the past 16 years.
Zundel was acquitted in 1992 on charges of spreading false news laid by Citron in 1983. The Supreme Court of Canada held that the section violated Canada's guarantees to freedom of expression.
Frequent demands by Jewish groups over the years that Zundel be charged under Canada's hate laws have been refused by various Attorney Generals of Ontario, including Roy McMurtry, Marion Boyd, and Charles Harnick.
The judicial review application also questions the jurisdiction of the Canadian Human Rights Commission over the Internet. Zundel pointed out that the Internet is a revolutionary and completely different medium than the telephone taped messages section 13 was passed to regulate in 1977.
"The Commission is attempting to use an old piece of legislation designed for telephones to control the newest and most revolutionary and interactive medium ever invented." said Zundel. "If my opinions are incorrect, then readers on the Internet are only a mouse click away from literally thousands of pages of rebuttals on websites such as Nizkor."
The Nizkor web page is dedicated to rebutting Z¸ndel's views. The Zundelsite has been linked electronically to Nizkor for a year and has recently linked to the Simon Wiesenthal Centre website and one other Jewish website.
The application also alleges the Commission has violated the Canadian Multiculturalism Act.
"Germans are entitled to discuss and debate their own history," said Zundel. "In this application I am challenging the Commission on the grounds that they have failed to observe and respect the provisions of the Canadian Multiculturalism Act. Germans are part of the mosaic of this country. We are not second-class citizens who must forever be silent when our own history is distorted and misrepresented by the media."
Zundel pointed out that the adversarial system of justice which exists in Canada assumes that the clash of opposing views will produce the truth. "This is also true of historical debates," said Zundel. "Truth will not be served when one side is bound and gagged."
Papers obtained under the Access to Information Act from the Canadian Human Rights Commission indicated that its Policy and Planning Director, Harvey Goldberg, appeared to classify Zundel's opinions on World War II as "hate" with no prior investigation or consultation concerning their truth or falsity or value."
