ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny:
=46ebruary 14, 2003
Good Morning from the Zundelsite:
=46rantic action is an understatement here at Tennessee Zundel_Haus.
We have all kinds of legal moves going behind the scenes - as, I am
sure, have our enemies. The story is still breaking.
Here is what I have found out so far:
* There is no arrest warrant. None! This is described as a
"civil arrest." Welcome to the New World Order!
* Yesterday, against the greatest of all lawyerly odds, we
managed to file a petition for "estraordinary relief" in Federal
Court - and did not even get a hearing. A one-sentence judgment by
Judge Jarvis: Denied.
Now comes the weekend, and not much will get done. In the meantime,
there seems to have developed a three-way tug of war between the US.,
Germany and Canada - who will take him and inherit the publicity? As
far as I can tell, this sadistic brutality was planned to have taken
place on the sly and handled very quietly, but the Internet saw to it
that the story broke - and from there it was media mayhem all the
way. Some of my readers thought that I did make a mistake when I
restricted my interviews only to alternate media. Let me tell you I
was right. Far and away, the media write-ups and broadcasts HAD to
get their info from the Zundelsite, and so far it has paid off in
advertising millions. For instance, NBC is said to have run it - I
am not sure when, but somebody sent me a tape. But I have never EVER
seen such fair headline news reporting. As soon as I come up from
under, I will transcribe the script. They showed the Zundelsite.
They showed some very good titles. They No yammering Holocaust
survivor. They even showed the Sinking Auschwitz cartoon. This was
prime news. The only "negative" anchor comment was that I had
gloated about all the attention I got. This time, at least as far as
the media is concerned - they didn't run us. We sat back and forced
them to be a bit more polite and civilized. WE controlled what was
put on the newscast by forcing them onto the Zundelsite. It was a
sweet revenge.
=46or instance, I refused an interview to the Globe and Mail, taking
advantage of the opportunity to lecture the reporter on ethics - or,
better, lack thereof, of Canadian media in general! Here is that

Deportation to Germany threatens jailed Zundel
By COLIN FREEZE
CRIME REPORTER
Thursday, February 13, 2003 ? Print Edition, Page A9
Ernst Zundel could face deportation to Germany and that country's
powerful antihate laws, after
making use of North American civil liberties to deny the Holocaust
for more than 20 years.
Mr. Zundel, a German national with permanent-residency status in
Canada, had long confounded
this country's efforts to shut him up. But on Feb. 5, he was
arrested at his Tennessee home by five U.S. immigration agents who
came with a deportation order alleging that he overstayed a visa.
A spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service said
yesterday that it appears
Mr. Zundel, who is in jail, will be sent to Germany soon.
Temple Black, a New Orleans-based INS spokesman, said that unless
Mr. Zundel files a refugee
claim or uses some other legal tactic, he could be sent back within
"a couple of weeks."
"We have to wait for the paperwork from Germany; that's the way it
normally works," Mr. Black
said. "And then he'll be deported back to his home country."
Canadian Jewish groups, which had been worried that the United
States might try to send Mr.
Zundel to Canada, are overjoyed at the prospect that their long-time
adversary soon could be in
Europe.
Germany has strict criminal laws governing the spread of hate,
meaning it would be very difficult
for Mr. Zundel, a self-styled freedom-of-expression activist, to
spread the message there that he has from North America.
"In Germany, he will be literally out of business. That's something
that will make most people
breathe a sigh of relief," said Bernie Farber, spokesman for the
Canadian Jewish Congress.
During a visit to Munich in 1991, Mr. Zundel was charged with
slander, offending the memory of
the dead, inciting racial hatred, public incitement and possession
of illegal Nazi symbols. He was
fined about $30,000, though the amount was reduced to $9,000 on appeal.
In 1996, German Internet-service providers were investigated by the
government for providing
access to Mr. Zundel's Toronto-based Web site.
Mr. Zundel immigrated to Canada as a teenager in 1958. During the
1980s, he became a familiar
and notorious figure.
Reporters would flock to Mr. Zundel's news conferences, where he
would complain of persecution
by the justice system -- while wearing hardhats or skull caps, or in
blackface or strapped to a
crucifix. His Toronto home became a library for the like-minded and
the site of many protests,
arrests and the occasional bombing.
Mr. Zundel twice attempted to obtain Canadian citizenship. In the
late 1980s he was convicted of
the little-known law against spreading false news, but the decision
was overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada.
In the late 1990s, the issue was whether his Toronto Web site
disseminated hate. Before losing
that battle, Mr. Zundel ceased to defend himself and headed south.
"It is perfectly clear to me that the courts of Canada have simply
decided that Ernst Zundel has got to go," he said at the time.
About three years ago, he and his wife, Ingrid Rimland Zundel, moved
to Sevierville, Tenn., a
community of about 12,000 best known as the birthplace of country
singer Dolly Parton. Using a
Web site, the couple continued to make their views known.
Shortly after moving there, Mr. Zundel said in an interview with The
Globe and Mail that he was
enjoying the U.S. South. "America, obviously, has a 225-year history
of freedom of speech," he
said at the time. "I mean, they mean it. None of the things that
I've been dragged through the courts for in Canada would have
brought me near a courthouse in the United States."
He added: "You have all kinds of intellectual people here in the
United States who do and think
and write and speak about the topics that I do, and have absolutely
no problems with the
authorities."
His wife said yesterday that he is "doing okay under the circumstances."
She would not provide the name of his lawyer.

The condition in Blount County jail are inhuman. I received a
12-page, tightly written letter from Ernst describing some of his
observations and thoughts, and I am getting brand new insights into
the way Ernst Zundel thinks. When things calm down, I have to do our
newsletter, and since it is written in English, I will just take the
personal comments out and have it translated into languages other
than English to be used as the occasion warrants. Those twelve pages
are a masterpiece of political thought and what is in store for
America in this powder keg right at the brink of war.
Just a brief glimpse of the man millions have been taught to hate:
[START]
Hi Ingrid,
The following is the reply I sent to the Mountain Press in response
to their story of Feb. 12th. I hope they publish it -- your neighbors
need to know what kind of man Ernst really is!
[START]
This is a very sad story.
The very idea that Mr. Zundel would deliberately break any law is
simply preposterous. I've known him for over fifteen years and in all
that time, I've never known him to do anything even remotely
bordering on illegal.
I've never seen anyone so meticulously law-abiding and fair in his
dealings with officialdom, business acquaintances and friends alike.
This is the man who scrupulously weighed his mail and if it was so
much as a gram overweight, he would insist on paying the next level
of postage. This is the man who always insisted on buying expensive,
legally licensed copies of computer software rather than allowing
friends to give him free copies on a "burned" CD.
This is the man who promptly paid all parking tickets, even
out-of-state or out-of country. This is the man who, in spite of the
hectic pressures in his own life, was never too busy to help his
friends and neighbors in Toronto and around the world.
If Mr. Zundel says he was unaware of any hearing date that he missed,
you can bet your bottom dollar that he never received any
notification to attend any such hearing.
This gentle man's detention in a jail filled with criminals is an injustice
that sullies America The Beautiful.
[END]
This writer is right. I have taken calls from many parts of the
world, and I have heard grown, even old men weep.
A strange fate has now befallen us. Just as I am finishing this
story, our attorney gives me a call. He has heard in Knoxville in a
court house from a clerk that Ernst will be deported Sunday. I
don't know if it is true. Nobody told me anything. My second
one-hour visit since his arrest, I was told, has been re-scheduled
for Monday.
Herewith I bid you good-bye on Valentine's Day 2003 - the very day
when, 58 years ago, Dresden collapsed into ashes, holocausting
hundreds of thousands of Germans, mainly civilians. I once saw
statistics somewhere. I may be wrong, but I remember that, in the
City of Dresden alone, the victims included tens of thousands of
babies under the age 6.
Ernst Zundel was then a youngster then, not yet six years of age.
He watched one of the many Allied terror bombings in his vicinity
near Pforzheim, a city close to where he lived. These bombing raids
targeting civilians were done to force the Germans to their knees.
Robert Lenski in his description of the Second Zundel Trial in 1988,
described how Ernst remembers a similar Holocaust, February 23-24,
1945:
". . . which Zundel will never forget, when "golden" Pforzheim was
firebombed and consumed by a red cyclone. Though the Zundels' house
lay 12 miles distant, the sky above was brilliantly illuminated, and
huge neighboring connifers bent toward the city center as if in a
gale of wind. The Pforzheim fireball was sucking oxygen toward itself
from throughout the surrounding countryside. Zundel, not yet six,
watched mystified as millions of leaves and branches were sucked
violently skyward, with a howl and a roar."
As the entire world knows by now, "Anne Frank left us a diary" - a
manuscript which, incidentally, proved highly questionable as to its
authenticy. It was partly written in a ball point pen - a gadget not
in general use until 1953.
There were lots of bombing raids in the early and even late spring of
1945 when the war was already technically lost. More than 5000
casualties of the Allied "W=FCrzburg-Holocaust" were incinerated in one
of the last massive bombing raids of World War II. These German
victims' wartimes stories are not known. They left no diaries. They
perished in the flames of the devastating inferno of March 16, 1945 -

I would like you to honor and remember these German victims of a
deliberate Allied policy with genocidal overtones with a few moments'
worth of silence. That's what Ernst Zundel is really all about!
