ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny
I am changing my strategy. Rather than recycling articles
from other sources on the Net that you can get on your own with a little
digging, I am going to let Ernst speak to you directly from prison.
You will get to know Ernst Zundel as a complex, versatile,
kind and highly sensitive activist for Truth in History who has never been
the hateful monster the mainstream media made him out to be.
I will do more. On the Zundelsite, www.zundelsite.org I will
juxtapose Ernst's forward-looking ideas and solutions to our
problems-riddled world to the hateful voices of his enemies. People will be
able to see and compare who the real haters are - and draw their own
conclusions about what's really going on.
This ZGram is to let you know some of his thoughts on art
and music in our Western/Christian era. Let me just add that while Ernst has
been fascinated by and deeply involved in the study of Christian art and
Christian music, I would not call him, and he would not call himself, a
"traditional" run-of-the-mill "Christian". As in every
other area of intellectual exploration, Ernst has his own ideas of what
Western Christianity is and is not, what it used to be and what it has
become, how it impacts on our Aryan psyches positively and negatively.
Stick to us. You will learn something about the nature of
demonization for political purposes - something in which our enemies excel.
Here is the first installment, excerpted and edited / Ernst
Zundel in a letter to a friend and likewise politically demonized victim,
Malcolm Ross:

[START]
Ernst Zundel: Prisoner Of Conscience in Cell # 5:
Dear Malcolm, Bill and All:
Let me answer your letter of 1 August 2003 and that lovely
Eagle Card. I have been asking Ingrid to keep an eye open for a
"Soaring Eagle" because the art gallery Ingrid and I were on the
verge of opening is called SOARING EAGLES GALLERY.
At first, Ingrid resisted the idea - but eventually, I
think, just so I stopped lobbying her, she gave in. Now that we have a
hand-carved, wooden Soaring Eagle sitting proudly atop our gallery sign by a
major highway, she agrees it looks magnificent. That's why I want to thank
you especially for the card, because it gives me reference material.
The Eagle is the heraldic bird of America, Germany, Austria
and Imperial Russia. Thus there is a bond among brother nations and a good
starter for some interesting conversations with American tourists who will
come to our gallery and book shop where we will display Ingrid's books - and
some others, of course. I also hope to offer CDs, tapes and videos at
Soaring Eagles of the most beautiful hymns of Christendom sung by vocalists
who have the voices of angels, accompanied by harps and other uplifting
instruments.
I had gone to numerous Southern Gospel conventions to hear
different vocalists in person - and tentatively had picked a girl's voice.
She is about 30 years old, from Wisconsin. A beautiful voice! I had also
listened to some local men sing for me. Within a week from the time of my
arrest, I had an appointment with a small company locally that has
state-of-the-art microphones and mixing consoles staffed by sound engineers.
My sudden arrest put a temporary stop to that. Only temporary!
This is something I wanted to do all my life - and those
darned [Holocaust] trials sidetracked me! Whatever might happen to me,
wherever they ultimately ship me, I will try to produce at least some of the
things I told you about.
I had a fairly extensive sheet music collection, 100 to 200
hymn books, and a Bible collection going back almost 400 years which I had
bought from all over the world during my travels. They were in several
languages, some were leather-bound. The 1995 arson claimed them all!
Once I am free again, I am sure that with the help of
friends I will put the word out to help find for me the most inspiring hymns
of Christendom which flow nicely and can be sung easily, and we will cause a
revolution in the Gospel Music market! I am highly offended by the raucous
noise which passes as modern Christian music. I don't know who is
responsible for it, but it is a disgrace to the Christians of the world! I
did not find a single tape - and I bought hundreds over the last ten years
in Christian book-and-music stores - which I did not find offensive!
"Teuflisch" is the word for it in German! [The
word translates as "devilish" or "demonic"]
I have the same beef when it comes to small, frameable
Christian theme pictures or even images of Christian postcards, wall plaques
etc. There was only a small series in our local, large Christian book-,
poster-, postcard- and music store - and, I kid you not, it was a stark,
black-and-white image of Christ, looking like Charles Manson! It's true! It
looked so grotesque, I protested to the store owner. She was incredulous!
As my "revenge", I chose a famous copper-engraving
print of the famous German medieval engraver and artist, Albrecht Dürer.
There is a large original Dürer collection in the National Gallery in
Ottawa. The title of it is, in translation, "The Consternation of
Christ", which shows Christ with a beautifully drawn, evocative but, of
course, pained expression wearing his crown of thorns. I proceeded to
hand-color copies with my brushes and airbrush, and once I get back, I will
put them in a prime spot in my gallery! We will start the counterrevolution
right there - in music and art!
I also made some startling graphics with my airbrush in
glorious full color, based on one of my very popular 1960s graphic prints -
three ethereal crosses floating in space. Regardless of where they ship me
ultimately, I will produce a series of these paintings.
If I can get released on bail and can even spend a few
months still in freedom in Canada, I will make new masters here, have them
printed by my contacts and have them hanging in my gallery in less than two
months after my release - and have them marketed on the Internet to boot!
And that will be only for starters!
So you see - the Soaring Eagle might be caged for the
moment, but my spirit is free!

TO MY ZGRAM READERS AND SUPPORTERS:
HELP KICK-START THIS SERIES, MEANT AS A FUND-RAISER TO
HELP FREE ERNST ZUNDEL.
FOR ANY DONATION OF $10 or more, you will get a frameable
copy of a sketch produced in prison.
Checks, cash, or money order are okay. I am working on the
credit card situation since PayPal kicked me off after I raised $9,000 in
just a few days for a full-page ad in a major Washington paper.
