Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

"I'm sure I don't have to point out to you that the Sun newspapers poll question was posed in such a way as to assume that Ernst Zundel was actually spreading 'hate'.

In that sense the poll was loaded against him . . . yet still came out 50/50.

One can imagine a better question: 'Ernst Zundel questions certain facts alleged about 'The Holocaust' and some persons are offended by his questions and desire to silence him. Should he be silenced?'"

"The 50-50 split must be put into some context. Remember: the survey re EZ and Internet free speech was conducted by a chain of newspapers that is notorious for its anti-German hate-fests of the past 20-odd years - so typical, in fact, of so many such hate-fests relentlessly directed against Zundel during those very same years.

Hence, a 50-50 tie is a remarkable achievement, given the avalanche of slime that has been heaped on EZ and other Revisionists during the past two (2) decades that have seen a resurgence of Revisionist scholarship becoming a kind of tributary flowing into mainstream channels of thought.

Imagine what the result would've have been minus 20 years' worth of such ugly media-generated anti-Zundel hate-fests!

Imagine, furthermore, what kind of results there will be in, say, another decade, in which the old generation of hopelessly brainwashed German-haters dies off and the informational offensives by a new (younger, dynamic) generation of Revisionist-activists kicks in, and sets the record straight about a veritable shopping list of now currently taboo topics, from Zionism to the Holocaust to the Talmud.

In his revisionist handbook, *Der Holocaust auf dem Prufstand*, Jurgen Graf asks the question whether the Holocaust legend can outlive the century. His answer: if so, then only by a few years; adding that never in history had the Powers That Be been able to command belief by means of both terror and censorship.

In fact, Graf's book was written and published in about 1993, before the Net and its powers of information-transmission could have been fully appreciated. To which we can add that never in history has there (been) put at the disposal of simple folk, as it were, the means to broadcast redemptive truth so far and wide."

POLL SHOWS AUSTRALIANS DON'T WANT INTERNET CENSORSHIP

"Results from the latest www.consult survey (10500 Australian Internet Users, November 1997) show continuing opposition to censorship of the Internet. They come just a month after Australian Attorneys-General promised tough Internet censorship - and in the same week as China announces sweeping new Internet censorship regulations.

Fewer than 8% of Australian Internet users believe there should be government censorship of the Internet. 60% think that parents alone should take responsibility. And 30% don't think that anyone should censor the Net.

www.consult principal Ramin Marzbani asked: "Why are significant government resources and attention being wasted on trying to conjure up near impossible and unnecessary ways to censor the Internet? Worse still, many of the government efforts appear directed at pushing the cost of enforcement onto third parties such as ISPs who can not reasonably be expected to police and monitor their users."

Electronic Frontiers Australia chairman Kim Heitman commented: "Survey results like this have been repeated many times now. They make it very clear that the Australian Attorneys-General are out of step with public opinion in their plans to censor the Internet. EFA has pointed out before that the ultra-conservative Lyons Forum, which seems to have control of Coalition social policy, represents only a small minority of Australians."

"Child pornography is already illegal on the Internet, and Australians do not accept that further censorship is necessary or desirable."

2500 people have signed EFA's online petition against Internet censorship."
