Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

A quick summary of items of interest:

• Something interesting has happened in Germany. The prosecutor at the court of Berlin has indicted one Angela Marquardt, vice president of the socialist party PDS, for providing a hypertext LINK to certain issues of a banned publication. What this means is that Germany has stationed itself as a police force on a certain segment of the cyber highway itself. As I understand this, to "criminalize" a link is different from "criminalizing" an electronic publication per se. It's political impairment of a global navigational device. It's stepping up the censorship.
• Dr. Arthur Butz of Northwestern University is still very much in the news. According to Art, it's a tempest in a tea pot; according to others, it's anything but that. The Washington Post, the Chronicle of Higher Education, AP, NY Times Cyber edition, and CNN have run short interviews. What you have here is the rare spectacle of our enemies "dancing the hapak" around one of their own - with amazing contortions! - because a young Jewish snit, through-and-through politically correct, came up with the brilliant idea of "teaching the Holocaust" in an engineering class!

• From Austria comes something even more amazing: That you can land yourself in jail not only for Holocaust-doubting - a no-no in itself! - but for EXPLAINING to others how someone else, doubting the Holocaust, was charged and managed to get the charges dropped.
• We are talking of the case of Mr. Lueftl, president of the Chamber of Austrian Engineers for many years, a highly esteemed professional who has his own successful engineering firm and who was in demand by Austrian courts as a court-approved expert in engineering matters in well-publicized court cases for decades - until he came to the conclusion as an engineer who managed to put two and two together that the conventional stories told as "experienced" by "Holocaust eye witnesses" (read propagandists) were non-scientific nonsense.
• He published his findings in the Lueftl-Report - and was promptly charged for his scientific findings. The Government of Austria had initiated court proceedings against Lueftl 9 years (!) ago, but ultimately the charges were dropped.
• A pyrrhic victory, it seems: You cannot COMMENT on this victory in common sense in Austria! No kidding! The magazine AULA, a publication for university students, published something about the Lueftl case, and promptly got slapped with a heavy fine. Says one Revisionist: "But nothing will stop us - short of shooting us - from publishing this on the Internet."
• Also from Austria: Holocaust Skeptic Wolfgang Frohlich has been freed after much protest nationally and much help internationally. People have been sending money and even offered themselves as hostage exchanges - willing to let themselves be jailed so that he could go free.
• World-wide support for Frohlich, we have been told, was overwhelming. Said one of his supporters: "We don't know what you call this, but we call it state terror." In order to be released, Frohlich had to sign a paper agreeing to be gagged. (Shades of the court-imposed Zundel gag order in Canada some time ago that lasted for almost a year - which even higher courts in Canada found "constitutional"! After Ernst won his victory in the Supreme Court on August 27, 1992 and asked for compensation, the government refused to pay him a cent - not even for his lawyers' fees. Which won't be the end of the story!)
• In Germany, by contrast, we are happy to report for a change, a highly successful, frequently aired documentary "film maker" was charged and convicted for lying and defaming the Germans. According to a Reuters release, Michael Born, a German television journalist, was convicted to four years' worth of prison time for selling bogus documentaries featuring staged racist gatherings, artificial Ku Klux Klan gatherings, cat shootings, drug smuggling and terrorist bomb-making operations. Born's defense was that he was merely giving the networks what they wanted and were willing to underwrite financially. Boy, did the Holocaust industry leave itself wide open for similar law suits through this one!
• Closer to home but moving right along: Canada's civilian spy agency, CSIS, has been extremely busy trying to dig for non-existent dirt on Right Wing people and organizations. Toward that end, more than a dozen people in the Heritage Front alone have been approached to become informants for CSIS. Some people will turn snitch for money.
• As a precaution against anticipated trouble from these Canadian-Stalinist snoopers, our Revisionist friends are drawing their wagons in a tight circle around the Zundelsite. When I came home, I learned that several Zundel-Mirrors are in place which were apparently set up during the Christmas holidays by free-speech Internet activists who have their own websites, and more, it seems, are in the making. I have a few additional offers on my list from people who will set up mirrors once we have everything in place to allow a simple and smooth transfer of documents. More of you out there in cyberspace might still consider it. As soon as I catch up, I will have a list ready for those of you who want to offer the locations as a service to your readers so they can find us - just in case the censors should succeed. Even if you have no space for a full Zundel Mirror site, place some of the information you deem important - or establish a separate link to the ZGram page.

So. We are ready for a standoff. A volunteer with whom I have worked closely in the past has done a spectacular job in pulling together the entire sordid CSIS schlimazel into two sub-pages, "CSIS Exposed" and "SIRC Exposed" which feature not just legal documents revealing this Canadian based, KGB-type duo's official stance but actual video and audio clips of HOW they do their hatchet jobs.

Take a look at the very first Zundelsite link. Bless the Internet permitting us to be part of the rapidly expanding alternate news media!

For how long? For as along as the electronic website wagons stay drawn around the fire of the Zundelsite!

And let no one deceive you, for this is merely the beginning.

I have said it before, but it bears repeating: Please understand this very clearly! This is not about Ernst Zundel and the Zundel-Haus. There are now a lot of Revisionist voices and related websites on the Internet far more outspoken than we are.

What sets the message of the Zundelsite apart and makes it dangerous to our enemies is something very simple: It's called substance and verisimilitude, well-grounded in name-recognition and decades of courageous, principled high-profile global work. Ernst Zundel has been at it for a long time. What is at stake is an entire century's worth of almost total mind control that we are wrestling from the claws of information managers, news twisters, spin doctors and would-be-censors - manipulated and controlled conventional media put to the use of Rule of Evil over the affairs of all mankind, not just our race and our civilization.

That kind of awesome power won't be surrendered without the fiercest fight and dirtiest means by our opposition.

Thought for the Day:

"In an unprecedented move in late November, the United Nations requested that the government of Israel submit a detailed report on its torture proceedings. Israel has two months to complete the report."
