Update on the Batavia situation

ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny - Now more than ever!

Let's pull together and prioritize:

A most important, powerful audio has now been placed on the home page of the Zundelsite. If you listen to it, you will understand who Ernst Zundel is and what Ernst's Zundel's struggle is really all about.

It is called "SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT." Listen to it and pass the URL on to as many people as you can.

Ask them to link this audio to their website so as many people as possible can listen to it.

Ernst Zündel - Setting the Record Straight.

1 Hour - 22 Minutes

=====

People trying to be helpful sometimes put out incorrect information. Ernst Zundel did not "flee" from Canada. Ernst left Canada after a very long and brave legal struggle and ONLY after the Human Rights Tribunal ruled that "Truth is not a defense."

Even after we were married, he crossed the border two or three times to close his office and business. As I remember it, I accompanied him on at least one occasion. Please don't say he "fled" Canada - Ernst does not flee from anyone, as far as we know him!

=====

I know of Zundel supporters in at least two countries who are planning to have Zundel demonstrations before US Embassies. I will try to see if I can get more supporters involved for US Embassy demonstrations in other countries.

=====

B'nai Brith has just put out another screeching request not to allow Ernst to return to Canada where he has lived for 42 years:

[START]

"B'Nai Brith urges government to block U.S. attempt to return Zundel

"OTTAWA, Feb. 17 /CNW/ - B'nai Brith spoke today to Denis Coderre, Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, urging him to ensure that Zundel be refused entry to Canada. The well known Holocaust denier has been found in breach of human rights provisions in Canada and anti-hate laws in Germany. Frank Dimant, Executive Vice President of B'nai Brith Canada, asked the Minister to instruct the Canadian authorities to deny Zundel entry in case of any unilateral action by the US. B'nai Brith also contacted the US Ambassador to Canada, Paul Celluci, to seek his intervention. "Canada cannot be a dumping ground for hatemongers," Dimant said.

[END]

=====

A Zundel supporter explains:

"My personal theory is that Bnai Brith is just putting on a show of mock 'outrage' that Zundel may be returned to Canada. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that Bnai Brith, CJC, SWC, etc.. have been applying 'behind the scenes' pressure to the US INS to have Zundel removed from the USA. It's apparent they'd prefer he'd be sent directly to jail in Germany, but since they realize that it's not too likely that the USA would do something that outrageous and risk being seen slavishly following jewish dictates, their alternate choice is to have him returned to Canada where he can be further tormented and then deported to Germany under some pretext.

"Bnai Brith is just engaging in 'plausible denial' propaganda by issuing recurring press releases expressing great anguish at the imminent prospect of being able to once again persecute their favorite antagonist.

"The Canadian government has proven to be a most pliable and convenient tool for the organized "Holocaust" lobby to further their agenda. They can claim credit for "Hate" crime laws, Human Rights Tribunals, "Holocaust" curricula, Internet censorship, banned books lists, etc."

Contacts you can and should inform about this illegal and outrageous arrest if Freedom of Speech is important to you. Make it short. When you call or fax, say the following:

Under a Judge's order, Ernst Zundel has now been BARRED from returning to the United States for 20 (!) on two grounds:

  1. He missed an immigration hearing - 10 years! 

  2. He overstayed his visa - 10 years!

Soviet-Style persecution, isn't it?

Reiterate that he has been married to me, a naturalized US citizen, for more than three years. All further information can be found on www.zundelsite.org or by calling Mark Weber at the Institute for Historical Review at 949-631-1490 or, alternately, Dr. Robert Countess, a former US Army Chaplain, at 256-232-4940

Two Letters from Zundel Supporters:

First Letter:

If anyone on the planet needed yet one more verification that what Mr. Zundel is revealing about history is true, one need go no further than witness the incredible lengths to which his opposition will go to silence him.

If anyone were to claim that the world is flat, or that our sun really flies around the Earth, or that what we think is a moon is really a hole in the universe, or that tides were caused by a bunch of people in the middle of the ocean periodically blowing on the waters, or that everything we've been told about history is true, there would be no need to attempt to silence anyone advocating any of these since any such person would probably claim to be Napoleon reincarnated also.

But just have someone have the audacity to ask for a shred of proof regarding the fanciful, shameless, hateful claims made about some aspect of the politically correct version of the history of WW2, and the power of the silencers comes down with the force of a hammer on a mosquito to intimidate and to try to prevent any further hint of said audacity on the part of anyone else.

Thereby verifying the validity and accuracy of the obvious total lack of evidence to support such preposterous claims and thereby verifying the appropriateness of daring to ask for the shred of proof.

The truth will eventually emerge - the only question remaining is when.

=====

Second Letter:

All of us have been sitting out here for days, now, scattered all over the country and the world, on pins and needles, watching your e-mails by the hour, frustrated at being able to do virtually nothing as your nightmare drama has played itself out. You have been simply marvelous. Few of us would have had the inner strength to persevere and accomplish what you have against such odds. I salute you!

For Ernst, I have been reminded of nothing so much as the words of an earlier reformer and rebel who stirred the wrath of the Jews:

"...They shall lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my names sake." And then, on the fateful night, when the high priests and their henchmen came for him, "This is your hour, and the power of darkness" (Luke 21:12, 22:53).

As fate would have it, however, I believe Ernst has been supremely lucky! He could have been sent to Germany. Imagine how that would have been, with him incommunicado in some dungeon, where you would not have dared to set foot, for fear of immediate imprisonment yourself.

Now, of course, it falls to you and your legal counsel to map out an action plan to try thwarting the last step in the deportation process, from Batavia, New York. I would assume that an important step might be getting that atrocious twenty-year ban reversed, through whatever court is above the judge in question.

I am still hoping that you will try to launch a full-court press and spark off a three-ring circus with the mass media, since they alone (and not the Internet) have the resources to follow such a story and its principals anywhere in the world, with cameras whirring and microphones thrust into corrupt officials' faces.

It has been interesting to me that Ernst has retained a certain celebrity status with them, which is crucial in their decisions on whom to cover. I would think that one "angle" for you to take might be that this is a replay of the old story of "The Man Without a Country," Philip Nolan, I believe his name was.

At any rate, I want you to know that I await any suggestions you may have for specific actions.

Your comrade in the struggle,

Don't forget to give Mark Weber's number as a media contact. I simply can't handle all the calls and certainly don't have the time to do any interviews.

Mark Weber's number is 949-631-1490 An Alternate is Dr. Robert Countess. He is a former Army Chaplain, and his number is 256-232-4940

Also, apparently media interviews are encouraged in the Batavia area "Buffalo Federal Detention Facility" I don't have the number, but reporters will know where to find it.

Thank you and stay alert!
