Good Morning from the Zundelsite:


This is the first of a two-part ZGram offering comments on the recent "Hate on the Internet" symposium put on by B'nai Brith. Simultaneously, it offers an insight at their eroding standing as political bullies in Canada.

I often hear it said that Canada is very different from the United States - since Canadians, it seems in general, are extremely docile to blatant spiritual blackmail, whereas a lot of US citizens are not.

Could be.

"They make you run with a single word: Racist!" says one feisty US-based website - a website worthy of inspection at http://www.wakeupordie.com/html/choice.html . I may have mentioned it before. There is one graphic there that always makes me laugh..

This website is still under construction, but well worth your attention - if for no other reason than its juxtaposition to "HateWatch", whose webmaster was recently featured in a B'nai Brith symposium on "Hate on the Internet".

This symposium was, as I am sure you remember, the worthy event to which we asked to be invited to give our point of view, and to which we received the following terse reply from B'nai Brith Canada headquarters two days before the event:

"We acknowledge the receipt of your proposal for our upcoming symposium on Hate on the Internet. We do not believe your proposal would be appropriate for our symposium."


There went our gesture of goodwill to shed light on the darkness!

Since I am not a Canadian, I only know of Canadian politics what comes my way tangentially, but that has an advantage. It makes for some vivid first-hand impressions.

There is one very strong impression I took away from my recent trip to Toronto in May, where I attended the opening session of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) charging Ernst for things I posted on the Zundelsite.

And that impression was, I don't mind telling you, that our opposition was showing itself up as moldy. They were attracting just the kinds of crawly things that are attracted to decay.

Here were these pin-striped-and-starched-collar people - supposed to be all Suffering Indignity, Affronted Decorum and Wronged Propriety - who had no better judgment than to show up in an Anglo-Saxon courthouse surrounded by a coterie of noisy, misbehaving, unwashed street gang riffraff with earrings in their noses?

It did not seem to dawn on them that, even in Ontario, it is no longer chic in mainstream politics to show yourself surrounded by a Che Guevarra (sp?) copy cat mob?

Amazing. Just amazing.

I am talking here about a spiritual chasm and restiveness that is becoming palpable even within traditional anti-Zundel forces between what we are representing and what our opposition represents.

I'll show you how.

There is in Canada a political movement that is simply called "Reform" in the vernacular. As far as I can tell, it is the party of the hard-working, overtaxed, under-represented people.

In voting patterns, Reform comes closest to the Perot movement in the United States and represents what people thought the country OUGHT to be before "political correctness" started to destroy it with multi-cults, "Human Rights" Commissions, "Hate Laws", "Gun Control Laws" and other tribulations.

Reform, I am told, is strong in central Canada and very strong in Western Canada - not so, however, in Ontario and pockets of the East where liberals reign and assure there is plenty of chaos - both in the streets and in the people's minds.

Reform has unseated the so-called "Conservatives" who were for over a century one of the two main political parties to run Canada's affairs. It is now the official opposition party that holds a strong second place to the Liberals in Parliament.

Reform has been fingered more than once by B'nai Brith and their fellow travelers as being covert "racist" and as catering to "neo-Nazis". Because the "wrong" image is costly, Reform leaders have gone out of their way to distance themselves from that taint.

Not that it made a difference: there were some brazen government attempts to link Reform to the Right-wing Heritage Front via sting operations right out of CSIS and SIRC - the two government agencies that, not-so-coincidentally, were also used to try to do Ernst Zundel in last spring and summer in a so far thwarted deportation attempt by having him falsely declared a "security threat to Canada".

Complicated, isn't it? Not really all that much.

To put it yet another way, Reform is perfectly respectable in many people's eyes in Canada in that it is opposed to what the Sixties started and what the Nineties represent. Well, that's about the time span when Ernst Zundel started telling Canadians precisely what was happening to Canada as Communism in its many hidden forms began to muscle in.

People close to the Reform Party put out a community paper called "Ottawa Times." Yesterday, I received a few faxes from the September / October issue, and when I called the Zundel-Haus for some data verification and editorial commentary, Ernst said to me with obvious glee:

"This is the first time that I have seen B'nai Brith actually connected to a violent Marxist-anarchist group in print."


Well, hallelujah time!

This is important. The Ottawa Times is a paper that is circulated to all Canadian Members of Parliament and nationwide to community groups and grassroots organizations. It is seen by some as an underground "Washington Post" because it keeps tabs in Ottawa on what happens in the Corridors of Power, inside and outside of Parliament.

And no wonder Ernst was a happy man. How do you like a headline titled "B'nai Brith Linked to 'Extremists"? Followed by a subtitle: "Admits 'workable relationship' with militant 'human rights' group"?

That's what we call in German ". . . getting two flies with one swatter!"

Remember that it is B'nai Brith that wants to use the Canadian Human Rights Commission to put ME out of business because I use the Zundel name and wisdom in MY attempts to shed light on the dark?

Here is some of the text, which I quote with relish:

"The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) has decided to pull the name of a highly controversial co-sponsor from its anti-racist poster 'Stop the Hatred.'"

(...)

"With the CHRC distancing itself from the ARA, B'nai Brith appears to be the last notable supporter of the ARA."


What this article is talking about is, of course, an intense Zundel-Haus campaign based on a video tape obtained some time ago in which a connection is admitted between the ARA and the Zundel-Haus arson in 1995 - long suspected of having been set at the behest of nefarious forces in bed with the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, (CSIS) a civilian spy agency known for its shameless pandering to the Forever Persecuted!

The Ottawa Times article does more than just hint around that eyebrows are raised about both the Canadian Human Rights Commission and B'nai Brith - and why it is that they like ARA, a filthy anarchist-Marxist street gang mob with international connections.

It names some names - Dr. Karen Mock's name, for one, a B'nai Brith official who thought nothing of endorsing that ARA rabble in a submission to help ARA obtain a grant from Toronto's Metro Council government. The Canadian Human Rights Commission, furthermore, endorsed ARA on a nationally distributed Anti-Racist Action poster touting that mob as a "valuable anti-racism resource".

No less address and all!

It gets more interesting. Dr. Mock, if you will remember, is the head honcho and one of the directors of B'nai Brith and the person who lost it utterly on March 15th, 1996 in front of national television cameras when she started shrieking that surely there must be in Canada a system locked in place that would get the better of "hate monger" Ernst Zundel! This only minutes after Ernst had just been vindicated, one more time (!) by a Canadian Court!

On that noteworthy day, all charges of publishing defamation of Jews and evidencing hatred toward Jews had been dropped by the Attorney General's experts on "Hate Prosecutions." So what was she kwetching about? A Mr. Bernstein, no less, is in charge of that group at the Ministry of the Attorney General. The Attorney General is a Jewish community stalwart called Charles Harnick, hardly a friend of Ernst Zundel's. So if they COULD have nailed him, they WOULD HAVE!

Dr. Mock must have thought it over and decided that one fine way of getting the upper hand on Ernst Zundel would be to ally herself with ARA at the Toronto Metro Council and the provincial government lottery- funded Trillium Foundation which sponsored the 1996 ARA conference on "Youth and Hate" last summer - with the Zundel-Team hot on her heels for wasting good tax payers' money on nose-ringed street gangs and hoodlums!

Can't you just see a movie once all the dust has settled?

Now states the Ottawa Times:

"Ms. Mock participated personally in the conference. Sitting with her at the podium was ARA-Toronto representative Ajith Aluthwatta, who has recently been linked with animal rights terrorism in BC."


Even now, as I am re-reading this, there flashes before my eyes this super-hoodlum, Aluthwatta, who slinked by me not two feet away with a street kid comrade of sorts - a live rat kept in a paper bag! Whatever for? Do disturb witnesses and disrupt the proceedings? Nothing happened to that rat, so far, you will be gratified to learn - at least not in the courthouse!

In defense of Karen Mock it must be said that the article also states that

"Karen Mock said B'nai Brith has always condemned the use of violence and that she has always urged the ARA and other groups not to reduce themselves to the same violent behaviour used by their opponents.

"She was not, however, able to say with certainty that B'nai Brith would refuse to associate with the ARA in the future. . .

"But Ms. Mock said she did not understand why the ARA's reputation would tarnish that of B'nai Brith, or more specifically, its League of Human Rights, just because they participate in certain events together."


Interesting. Very, very interesting.

The same B'nai Brith, especially Karen Mock, always slanders people like Ernst Zundel with their "right wing connections", warning shrilly of a sinister conspiracy if the people of the Right network and attend speeches or concerts together.

Remember Canadian school teacher, Paul Fromm, the teacher who was fired at the behest of B'nai Brith for speaking at a Heritage Front function and a conservative gathering in the USA?

This tags our opposition! They always, without fail, practice a double standard! Always!

Was not the whole Heritage Front Affair an attempt to deport Ernst from Canada to the vassal state called Germany waiting to incarcerate him for not believing in the Auschwitz Lie - because of a so-called "connection"?

Ernst has NEVER endorsed ANY violent group, as Karen Mock has done at Toronto's Metro Council - and as the CHRC did on nationally circulated posters!

The Ottawa Times article takes on not just B'nai Brith but also the Canadian Human Rights Commission for its implicit endorsement of the ARA in other places such as Winnipeg, by quoting Mrs. Hayes, Reform's Human Rights critic:

"Mrs. Hayes' office said that the group is suspiciously hard to contact. The CHRC poster provides a mailing address, but no phone number.

"There is no phone number in the Winnipeg phone book for the group, and apparently the Canadian Human Rights Commission had no phone number on file in Ottawa.

"Mrs. Hayes' office was eventually directed to the regional director in Winnipeg . . . Even this contact only produced a name and number for the UAR, not the ARA."


And also:

"Tory MPP Bob Woods (London South) sounded grateful for the . . . material about the ARA. He indicated that funding priorities for the Trillium Foundation are under evaluation, and that 'you can be reasonably sure that we will not be recommending the funding of Marxists . . . by the Foundation.'"


And here comes the finale. CHRC media spokesman Donna Balkan told the Ottawa Times that


"allegations against the ARA - that it is a violent group - are being taken seriously, and that the CHRC is investigating them by contacting police chiefs and community leaders across the country."


Well, that is noble. But this happened only after a stink was raised about B'nai Brith and CHRC endorsement of that violence-prone rabble - whom they had rubberstamped and warmly praised and endorsed without first checking!

And there is more. There is yet another headline, above the picture of Michelle Falardeau-Ramsey, Chief Commissioner of the CHRC, titled:

"CHRC Endorses Hate Group." Remember that this is the very group heading the Zundel Inquisition about "hate mongering".


The Ottawa Times article concludes by saying:

"With the growing intolerance among Americans and Canadians over programs like affirmative action that are allegedly designed to eliminate racism, but which critics say is just another form of racism, groups like B'nai Brith may well be required to maintain high levels of credibility in order to be successful.

"If their opposition to racism comes to be seen as nothing more than a tool to strong-arm their opponents with the help of a compliant government, the cynicism may permanently damage any constructive attempts to confront real racism."


Well put. And to think it wasn't even Ernst Zundel who said it - although he has in the past, and no doubt will do so again in the future!

One of Ernst's close advisors attended the above-mentioned recent B'nai Brith symposium on "Hate on the Internet" and came away from it, exhilarated in one way - and shocked in another way.

"These Internet censorship people don't know WHAT to do next!" she said. "They can't even get their own people out to their own seminars any more!"


So they increasingly feel they must lobby and strong-arm government agencies like the CHRC and government ministers to do their bidding - undoubtedly using government grants to finance their lobbying?

I am leafing through one of my favorite references, "You Gentiles" written by Maurice Samuel, a famous Jewish writer of the 1920s, to summarize just what is playing here - and there it is, precisely, in his own words:

"What guarantee have we beyond the guarantee of public opinion?" (p. 132)


That's what I read between the lines in the Ottawa Times article.

And that is what I thought when I saw ARA scum in that Toronto courthouse crawling around those pin-striped suits and pious phrases about "human rights violations" and ". . . hate mongering against an identifiable group."

Across the land - in fact, across the globe! - there is a deep, deep spiritual discomfort generated by these mobster strong-arm tactics by individuals and groups like B'nai Brith who treat these "Human Rights" organizations as their private hit squads to silence perfectly legitimate political and historical viewpoints and absolutely legal political dissent.

It will exact a devastating price, and not in credibility alone, from them - and play in our favor - if people are allowed to see that those, who claim their rights are being violated, condone that rats be brought in paper bags into an Anglo-Saxon courthouse.
