Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Of course wonders never cease, and it could be that, once the entire schmeer of the "Canadian Human Rights Commission versus Ernst Zundel" is over, we will find out to our amazement that fairness and justice have triumphed.

That will be one happy day when we will learn, to our great joy, that these white-knuckled extra-judicial bodies are, indeedy, what they claim to be and what their name suggests.

No one who understands what will start playing Tuesday and last God-knows-how-long at taxpayers expense would bet a dime on that joyous outcome, however. Chances are that yet another salutary lesson on subversion of the democratic process will be attempted to be balanced on Ernst's back.

Therefore, yet one more time, it is the Zundel laser stare against some pretty uncouth, loutish folks who are well on the way to see their empire crumble before their very eyes, and who are trying desperately to use this KGB-type industry called "Human Rights Commissions" as character assassination squads.

Here are some facts, for the record and for posterity to ponder:

The Zundelsite now contains some 1700 documents and pictures. Only an estimated 10-15% are documents authored or semi-authored by Ernst Zundel. The rest are either ABOUT Ernst Zundel documenting his Revisionist struggle, or documents pertaining to Revisionism generally.

These 10-15% "Zundel-authored" posts can easily be bundled and shifted to other locations. These mini-mirrors would not materially weaken the spirit of the Zundelsite because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Isn't the Zundelsite known for its spirit?

Were I to take these 10-15% off the Zundelsite and put them on my literary site, BOTH on the Webcom server, with links right to the neighbor site - would an intellectual raid on the Zundelsite then still make sense to anyone? So far, links have not been outlawed.

Furthermore, let's look at what these ten 10-15% actually consist of:

1. About two years' worth of "Power" and "Germania" letters.

These monthly newsletters are shipped out of the Zundel-Haus to 41 countries via snail mail. These identical print versions are protected by the 1992 Supreme Court decision that gave Ernst Zundel the explicit right in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to enrich society with his ethnic-specific point of view on recent history.

The CHRC is NOT targeting the printed versions because they know darn well they can't. Why target IDENTICAL versions on the Net?

2. The Zundel-Haus press releases documenting the relentless Zundel persecution by his political opposition.

These press releases, too, went via snail mail and fax to hundreds and hundreds of media outlets where many, no doubt, still exist in their files. The CHRC does not think it illegal, clearly, to store them in file cabinets. Why should it be illegal to have them be stored on a server?

3. Ernst's various biographies and abbreviated biographies, which also exist in print copies, some of them even bound.

Ernst has lived a very interesting life, largely thanks to his political nemeses and their relentless hateful actions. He is not allowed to talk about his struggle with the Zionists and outline the struggle for others?

4. Some 50 or so replies in the aborted Nizkor-Zundelsite debate.

These replies are all prefaced with "Ernst Zundel Replies". Jamie McCarthy of Nizkor started the taunts, and others followed suit. Ernst Zundel was not to reply and defend himself against un-called for character assassination by some impertinent twerps less than half his age with not one-tenth of his political experience and knowledge of factual background?

He did reply, in a statesmanly way, but in fact I researched and wrote these documents with the help of other Revisionists, including but by no means limited to Mr. Zundel, who merely advised me on inconsistencies or factual matters and pointed me in the direction of sources I would not have known on my own.

Need I point out that I have a guaranteed and protected right to inform myself on matters of great interest to me according to Article 19 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, across all borders and regardless of frontiers?

5. A handful of rather traditional articles, such as the Nuremberg Trial commentary.

So, that is it. Only 10-15%.

An estimated one-third of the Zundelsite posts are my daily ZGrams. There is no argument whatsoever that they are mine, researched and written by me and copyrighted in my name from Day One.

It is highly improper that someone else be questioned and ultimately hauled before a so-called "Human Rights Commission" for something I did on my own. Not only did Ernst have NO control over the ZGrams, I can remember once or twice feeling mighty overwrought because I felt that his involvement in my work was not what it should be. I wanted my ZGrams to shine with the authentic Zundel spirit, which wasn't always at my fingertips the way I thought it should.

So is he going to be burned at the stake for something that I did three thousand miles away as a United States citizen under the protection of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution - and have the Library of Congress paperwork to prove it?

The rest of the Zundelsite documents are either books or articles by other authors, also with content over which Ernst had no control. These books and articles can be found elsewhere, including (most of them) on CODOH and some of the other premier Revisionist websites. Why pick on the Zundelsite and not on the other website which carry IDENTICAL content?

Here is what the so-called Human Rights Commission needs to understand: The word "Zundelsite" stands ENGRAVED for all posterity in the history of the Net. They can't stick a lightning back in the clouds.

Of course they can gag Ernst, and no doubt they will try.

Will they succeed? Well, not without a struggle.

What will it do if they succeed? It will disgrace and blacklist Canada, supposedly still a democracy, import the struggle right to the United States where I will carry on as usual, and show the "Human Rights Commissions" up for what they are for all the world to see: Tools in the hands of alien censors.

It will show people in control of these nefarious outfits as loyal to the Tribe and not to their host country - this at a time when perplexed people up in Canada begin to wonder mightily what to make of a bunch of Mossad agents who use Canadian passports to enter a foreign country and then to spray a killer poison into a political opponent's ear with the intent to kill him.

This is the time to say: He told you so. Ernst Zundel told them so.

He told them clearly that it would happen - precisely what is happening today. Canada would have been well advised to have listened to Ernst Zundel many years ago when he was telling them that there was systematic poison being squirted into the ears of trusting, unsuspecting people, all in the name of "harmony" and "brotherhood".

Thought for the Day:

"Germans say Zeitgeist, the spirit of the times. It is a fascinating
moment, fraught with promise, when this spirit of the times, dozing
pitifully and apathetically, like a huge wet bird on a branch, suddenly and without a clear reason . . . unexpectedly takes off in bold and joyful flight.

We all hear the 'shush' of this flight."

(Ryszard Kapuscinsky in "Imperium", Alfred A. Knopf, Toronto: 1994, pp 84-85)]
