Zundel Update - A Look At
One Leaked CSIS Document

From Ingrid Rimland

Have we found the smoking gun? It surely looks like it. Perhaps one of many.
 
So as not to give away important parts of our strategy to free Ernst Zundel from the clutches of his deadly enemies who thought that they could pull a fast one, I can only give you a chronological outline, but it will be enough for you to draw a few conclusions. It could well be that it's now count-down time for our enemies - and isn't it high time?
 
Here is a chronolgical hologram of sorts. If you stare at it long enough, you'll see the neo-cons of Canada involved in a political abduction that could well lead to their demise - and perhaps even prison.
 
* After our marriage on January 19, 2000, Ernst and I filed papers in June for Adjustment of Status. We moved to Tennessee is August of 2000.
 
* The application only reached the Memphis INS office on October 4, 2000 because it was mistakenly (?) sent to the Texas INS office by our then attorney. Our application, however, was accepted by Memphis INS and followed up by requests for the usual steps needed to ascertain Adjustment of Status leading to Permanent Resident status - namely FBI fingerprinting, a health check, obtaining a work permit, a social security number, receiving a permit to leave and re-enter the United States etc.
 
* By the spring of 2001, the only last step missing was an interview with an INS official verifying that we were legally married and had taken up permanent residence in Tennessee.
 
* About that time, an FBI official suddenly appeared in the door of our garage, stating "Your 'friends' in Canada have sent us your file" and asked if he could have "a few words" with Ernst. On the advice of our attorneys, Ernst had been cautioned to make sure to have a lawyer present during interviews with government officials. Shortly thereafter, a three-and-a-half hour interview took place in the Knoxville FBI office. At the conclusion of that interview, the FBI agent told Ernst that he had studied the Zundelsite - still the bone of contention with the ongoing Canadian Human Rights Tribunal - and had found nothing that was unconstitutional.
 
* Also in the spring of 2001, a stranger intruded on our property, taking pictures of our home, especially the back of the house where our offices are. Ernst's sister, who was housesitting since we were attending a convention, managed to chase him away. She described the intruder as "blubbery, with greasy hair and an audacious smirk." Does that remind you of some folks we know?
 
 
 
* Within days of that incident, a very offensive website appeared - a clear attempt to discredit us in the eyes of our supporters. Among other things, a photo was used on that website that must have come from a pile of photos Ernst used to copy and send to supporters. It had been lying on his desk. We soon knew who had stolen that picture - somebody who was friends with someone who had harassed us intermittantly with mail that had offensive racist slogans glued to the outside of his envelopes - a clear attempt to discredit us as "racists" with our local postal service and, indirectly, in the neighborhood.
 
* As my Zgram readers know, in June of 2001 we had that fateful first appointment for the INS interview that our attorney canceled because of an alleged time conflict on his calendar. Our lawyer sent a letter, asking to have the interview rescheduled, followed up by a second letter repeating the request. Through the Freedom of Information Act, we found out that both these letters are missing in the INS Memphis files, even though the second letter was sent "return receipt requested." We have the original Postal return receipt card, showing that INS Memphis received it.
 
* In September of 2002, an Arab-Canadian, Maher Arar, was intercepted by U.S. officials with the help of the Canadian spy agency, CSIS, and turned over to Syrian officials to be tortured to obtain information on the Canadian-Arab community.
 
* In November of 2002, Ernst's Jewish detractors registered the Human Rights Tribunal decision against the Zundelsite with the Canadian courts. Why only then? Did they know of Ernst's pending arrest? Was it a tit-for-tat arrangement where Canada helped the U.S. in snaring Maher Arar, and the U.S. did them a favor in return?
 
* And sure enough - on February 5, 2003 Ernst was unexpectedly and brutally arrested and has been held in maximum detention in Canada ever since, allegedly because he is a "threat to Canada."
 
* Shortly thereafter, I received an overseas call from a long-time friend and a very reliable source who told me that someone "at the highest levels of the U.S. government" had let slip that "a favor was done to several" in Canada by Ernst Zundel's arrest. I filed this information in the back of my head because we really had no proof.
 
* Throughout 2003 and into 2004, all my attempts to get any information whatsoever out of the Memphis INS office regarding Ernst's arrest were stonewalled to a degree that was surreal. In desperation, I finally engaged two individuals to help us as private detectives. Through the Freedom of Information Act (and a similar Act in Canada) we discovered some suspicious faxes and e-mails, both between Canada and the U.S. officials of various departments, but also between officials and the U.S. courts.
 
To make a very long, complicated story short, let's just say that some but not all of these emailed or faxed documents have been leaked prematurely on the Internet by a person who meant well but did not check with me, which was unfortunate - but may well force the issue.
 
Be that as it may, these documents show irrefutable CSIS involvement in the 2003 abduction as early as March 2001 - two months BEFORE the first interview Ernst is alleged to have "missed" - and on which his arrest and subsequent abuse has been based.
 
I have been asked: Are these documents authentic? Yes, they are. They are Freedom of Information Act documents. I have them in my possession and have sent letters and copies to our various attorneys as well as private scouts with whom I am still working.
 
For the Sherlock Holmes's on our list, some leaked emails look like this:

Thanks Sheila.
 
Claudette, I am not sure if you will see Dan Cadman or someone else in INS in Washington. I fpossible, could you ask them to confirm if Ernst Christoff Zundel (24 July 1939, Germany) is in fact an Alien Resident of US now, as per info from Service and in media. He was landed in Canada in 1958 but has been denied CC as you knoq. If we can confirm his US residence we may be able to strip him of his PR in Canada. Many thanks, Ian

fyi. This info is from CSIS and also "Solicitor-client privilege". It might be a good idea to get the confirmation from your US contacts.

Yaron,
 
Just a quick heads-up. I received a letter from CSIS Legal Counsel, Murray Rodych, which indicates that Mr Zundel has moved to the United States where he now resides permanently with his wife. This may provide CIC with grounds for potential enforcement action under s. 24 of the Immigration Act.

Once these emails were posted on various websites, Internet Service Provider Bernard Klatt wrote the following informative letter to Kirk Makin, ace reporter for the Globe and Mail:

Globe and Mail
 
Attn: Kirk Makin
 
Re: CSIS Internal Security Compromised ?
 
Dear Mr. Makin, Thank you for the one of the few reasonably objective commentaries on Ernst Zundel's continued imprisonment. (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/ArticleNews/TPStory/LAC/20040306/ZUND EL06/Comment/Idx )
 
As one of the persons named in the CSIS unclassified "summary" re: Zundel, I have some interest in following this case. Yesterday I noticed a posting at http://www.overthrow.com/lsn/news.asp?articleID=6812 that purports to be a partial release of CSIS/CIC secret, intelligence-related, internal emails regarding Ernst Zundel.
 
It appears someone forwarded a large collection of emails to Bill White (Overthrow.com). If real, this could prove to be an enormous embarassment for CSIS (which prides itself on having 'security' expertise) because it could mean that CSIS has been penetrated by a 'mole/spy' who managed to collect 4 years of email regarding Ernst Zundel.
 
If this person managed to collect CSIS/CIC email regarding Zundel, it is highly likely that they also managed to collect CSIS/CIC secret, intelligence-related, internal e-mails regarding other persons or topics as well.
 
Or.. it could mean that the much vaunted CSIS 'security' expertise has been severely compromised by an outside hacker. Perhaps one of the CSIS agents PC's has a keyboard logger/trojan installed on it and is being accessed remotely by a hacker.
 
Either way, there is tremendous potential for an investigative reporter to get a really interesting story here. Perhaps you would be interested in following up this lead?
 
Sincerely,
 
--Bernard Klatt

The following is, apparently, from Paul Fromm, although it came to me a bit garbled:
 
[START]
 
"I did do Google searches on all the CSIS/CIC names mentioned and they are definitely real. The attached Word document is what I found via Google and contains the fixed up email addresses for the agents. The stuff posted on Overthrow.com contains spelling errors and most of the agents email addresses are incomplete. The last 5 characters (@CINA) needs to be expanded to ( CINA.CIC.GC.CA ) to form a valid email address.
 
I see Paul Yurack sent the following email to ybb Yaron suggesting "grounds for potential enforcement action under s. 24 of the Immigration Act." The first name "Yaron" is a distinctly Israeli/Jewish male name. Is it too late for Peter Lindsay to attempt to determine the identity of this "Yaron" individual? Is there some reason CIC counsel Yurack, needs to be emailing an Israeli/Jewish person regarding Zundel?
 
From: Yurack.Paul@8850BLD@CINA, on 03/08/2001 5:43 PM To: ybb cc, mam, Redden.Rosemarie@8602BCM@CINA, Rikhof.Joseph@8614bcw@CINA Protected Solicitor - Client Privilege / Protege - Secret professional de l'avocat DLSU File No.:
 
Yaron, Just a quick heads-up. I received a letter from CSIS Legal Counsel, Murray Rodych, which indicates that Mr Zundel has moved to the United States where he now resides permanently with his wife. This may provide CIC with grounds for potential enforcement action under s. 24 of the Immigration Act. Paul A Yurack, Counsel/Avocat
 
If ybb Yaron is on staff at CSIS or Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), there should be a reasonable apprehension of bias due to his apparent Israeli/Jewish identity. Or.. is ybb Yaron someone on staff at the Canadian Jewish Congress, the Simon Weisenthal Centre, B'nai Brith, or the Israeli embassy, etc..? If so, why is Yurack e-mailing him about Zundel?"
 
Section 24 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states: "A foreign national who, in the opinion of the officer, is inadmissible or does not meet the requirements of this Act, becomes a temporary resident if an officer is of the opinion that it is justified in the circumstances." It would appear that Paul Yurack may have contemplated that, by a given date, Mr. Zundel might have lost his landed immigrant status, and, therefore, be subject to much more arbitrary measures.
 
All this bears questioning in Court.

What do you say to all of this? What do I say? Just one small question for inquiring minds who want to know:
 
CSIS Legal Counsel, Murray Rodych, mentioned in the emails, is the very attorney aiding Mr. MacIntosh, lead counsel of the government. One of the reasons claimed for refusing Ernst bail and keeping him in Canada's Guantanomo Bay equivalent prison is that a great to-do was made by Mr. MacIntosh and Murray Rodych that Ernst allegedly "flouted" U.S. Immigration by having missed an interview.
 
What role did CSIS Legal Counsel, Mr. Murray Rodych, play to have that interview canceled- and letters from the files disappear?
 
There will be more, you may be sure. Stay tuned.
 
 
Reminder:
 
Help free Ernst Zundel, Prisoner of Conscience. His prison sketches - now on-line and highly popular - help pay for his defence. Take a look - and tell a friend.
