I don't yet have reliable notes on yesterday's CHR Tribunal hearing where Professor Schweitzer was on the stand - at times hysterical! - except to say that this Zionist-obedient professor who teaches at a Christian (Catholic) college (!) and who runs a Holocaust Survivors' speakers' bureau kept uttering such things for posterity as ". . . The holocaust could not have happened without 2,000 years of Christianity preceding it . . ." and ". . . Christianity has to accept Christian guilt . . . " for two millennia of Jewish suffering.
He actually referred to "Christian-Catholic theology of Judaism" !
The Schweitzer "scholarly references" include the widely discredited Rauschning, a notorious and documented liar who concocted some damaging documents with the help of a Jew that plague historians to this day. The deliberately planned Rauschning deception of the international community, disseminated worldwide prior to the outbreak of World War II, is documented solidly even in censor-happy Germany, and will be part of the legal documents of Canada as well - ***if*** the Tribunal does not censor it somewhere down the road by not allowing it into the "Human Rights" records.
They do these things, you know!
All this, courtesy of the Canadian Human Rights Commission's persecution of Ernst Zundel.
I hope to tell you more tomorrow. It seems that months of preparation for this fellow Schweitzer are already paying dividends. Professor Schweitzer is reported to wear a perpetual look of shock and consternation on his face in response to the in-depth preparation of the Zundel Defense Team. For one, Schweitzer seems to think and, from what I gather, actually ***insisted*** that a Jew can say things that a German cannot say - it all depends on the "context."
So then the question was brought up yesterday: Well, who exactly IS a Jew? What is the definition of a Jew?
And the Schweitzer answer was something along the famous lines of ". . . ahem, uh, well . . . a Jew is who I say it is."
Well, what did Mr. Zundel do this morning? He put on a yarmulke!
Shock and dismay in the courtroom!
I hope Ernst took a picture of himself as, once again, he of all people demonstrated that ***that*** is what it takes these days to speak one's mind in Canada!
That's all I know for now.
Meanwhile, I want to shift focus and report on what is happening in Germany by shipping you an article from today's "The Guardian".
I quote it here in full, prefacing it with the following notice:
** In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. Section 107, this material is distributed without profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving the included information for research and educational purposes. **
That means, of course, all of you - since you have expressed a prior interest in the Zundel case by being and remaining on my list.
For newcomers, let me just briefly summarize that in the late weeks of 1995 the Holocaust promoters tried to divert their evil censorship intent about Revisionism by camouflage in going after pornography, and CompuServe in Germany was their first victim. We said from the beginning the target was Revisionism - and sure enough: by mid-January of 1996 the cyberwar broke out. By January 27, 1996 it was admitted in a worldwide broadcast what they were really after - the fledgling Zundelsite.
Now the then chief of Compuserve, since booted out of his job, is going on trial in Germany. Here is the article that tells what has happened and what is likely going to happen, reported by Ian Traynor in Bonn:
"Pornography test case for Internet providers
German trial of CompuServe ex-chief airs censorship arguments
In a crucial test case bearing on the policing and freedom of the Internet, the former head of a major online provider went on trial yesterday charged with disseminating child, animal, and violent pornography in cyberspace.
Arguments on cyber-censorship, commercial pressures, and transnational restrictions on the use of the Internet will feature in the trial of Felix Somm, 34, a Swiss national, former head of the German subsidiary of CompuServe, the Internet provider.
The Bavarian authorities allege that he "knowingly" facilitated the dissemination of illegal pornographic pictures and could have erected electronic "firewalls" to prevent the spread of criminal material.
Mr Somm went before the judges in Munich contending that commercial companies selling access to the Internet cannot be held responsible for the contents of material distributed by its subscribers.
When he was charged last year, Mr Somm warned that CompuServe, with more than 300,000 customers in Germany, would quit the country for France, but he later resigned and returned to Switzerland.
Cracking down on Internet porn and crusading to regulate what is available via computer screens and telephone lines, the Bavarian police raided CompuServe's Munich offices in December 1995, initiating Europe's first attempt to criminalise an online provider because of information put on the Internet by its clients.
CompuServe complained, but the then US parent closed access to more than 280 news sites to four million subscribers worldwide, provoking accusations of pointless censorship of electronic communication. The company restored access to all but five sites.
Expert evidence to the court yesterday by a government adviser supported the defence, saying that it would have been "practically impossible" for CompuServe to control the material. But the official said the parent US company could have banned suspect news groups from using the provider, although they could then have turned to other providers.
Ulrich Sieber, a law professor, in evidence for the defence, said the state was prosecuting the wrong person. The Bavarian authorities were seeking a "scapegoat because of a lack of national solutions in global cyberspace".
Professor Sieber has been engaged by the German justice ministry to help combat Internet child pornography. New German multi-media legislation last year ruled that providers could not be held accountable for information put into cyberspace by customers.
CompuServe and other such companies say they are about as responsible for what is on the web as are phone companies for conversations. The Bavarian government, however, is drafting legislation to make Internet providers accountable for customers' activities.
Two years ago, prosecutors ordered Deutsche Telekom's T-Online provider to block access in Germany to the website of Ernst Zundel, a leading German neo-Nazi operating from Toronto, Canada, to restrict access to pro-fascist propaganda illegal in Germany. Deutsche Telekom said it moved voluntarily to block access to Zundel's site.
That case highlighted the dilemmas triggered by transnational cyberspace set against national laws, sovereignty, and cultures. Dissemination of neo-Nazi propaganda, for example, is not illegal in the US.
Professor Sieber, a computers and law expert of Wurzburg university, Bavaria, says neither Mr Somm nor CompuServe has a duty to censor the Internet.
If found guilty on the child pornography charges, Mr Somm faces five years in jail.
The case continues."
Well, Mr. Somm is being made a scape goat in Germany just as Mr. Zundel is being made a scape goat in Canada - so that the wolf can keep on gobbling freedom as he pleases.
