- A brief update on the last two days' hearings (October
19 and 20) in the Zundel case, followed by new hearing dates for him as
well as for Germar Rudolf, and concluded with a Zundel letter to a young
friend in Texas.
-
- I had a call today from one of our German attorneys.
He reports the last two hearing days were wasted time and money. All requests
for defense expert witnesses and forensic documents were brutally rejected.
The mantra never changes: "The Holocaust can't be and will not be
disputed. It is self-evident!"
-
- Nonetheless, additional hearing dates have once again
been set: There will be Zundel hearings as follows, all starting at 9:00
A.M.:
-
- November 10 November 17 November 30 December 1 December
7 December 8
-
- In the same venue, the trial for Germar Rudolf is to
begin in Mannheim. The Germar Rudolf schedule is as follows:
-
- November 14 November 16 December 4 December 6 December
21 January 10 January 22 January 29
-
- To that, I should add a few anecdotal touches which will
find its way into the large screen feature movie that is already playing
in my head. After the presiding judge ruled sternly that the audience was
not to applaud when Ernst entered the courtroom, his friends simply rose
to show their respect. This, too, is now forbidden.
-
- At some point, it seems, somebody laughed the politically
incorrect way - and was promptly filed 200 Euros - about US$250 ! The fellow
didn't have the money and was prepared to go to jail, but a collection
was taken up from the audience to spare him.
-
- Additionally, the judge drew an amazing conclusion when
asked to allow the US FBI Report in Ernst's defense - a seven-part report
that states in clearest language that Ernst is not a "White Supremacist"
but, rather, a Revisionist, and that the case be closed. The judge concluded
that the defendant, Mr. Zundel, must surely have wickedly disguised his
antisemitism from the FBI investigation - another Zundel First!
-
- What a clever man I have married!
-
- I should also add, perhaps in passing, that I received
a bill from another German court that charges me some 300-plus Euros out
of a total of 5,000 Euros for "indexing" (censoring!) my venerable
website. I intend to tell them - borrowing from Oskar Wilde, I believe
- that since they charged me in my absence and convicted me in my absence,
they might as well shoot me in my absence!
-
- The nerve these people have!
-
- The letter below is a wistful one, containing gentle
snippets of this and that - a typical Zundel letter. While he was still
in the Canadian prison, starving and freezing, with his light turned on
night and day, Ernst wrote a touching letter to two grieving little girls
in Texas - two children that he never met, who were dealing with their
parents' separation - telling them that he was deeding them two equal land
parcels on Mars on which they could build their very own castles. So much
by way of preface:
-
- October 9. 2006
-
- Dear Curtis,
-
- The trial is winding down and I wanted to reach out beyond
the barbed wire, the search lights, and the dogs to share some snippets
of thought gained in my new life here in the Gulag of Modern Times. It's
hard to decide where to start - I only have five pages, as you know.
-
- So let me start with something frivolous - and future-oriented.
Mars! This past week I saw some absolutely stunning photos of the Martian
surface, close-ups of the Martian landscapes. They were unbelievable, especially
the Martian ice caps, the poles. Some of them were taken by the Mars rovers
and others by the European space probes - amazing clarity! It made me think
about the Martian real estate I bought as a lark some years ago, which
made me remember your daughters and their building lots on Mars. So, I'm
wondering how you and the girls are doing?
-
- There has been an almost frenzied increase in the amount
of bad press our enemies have been subjected to of late. In your letter
of November 21, 2005 you outlined the list of neo-cons who were not only
being closely scrutinized, but who had in some cases even been charged
with serious crimes. So, now you can update your list and add Foley and
his coterie of sycophants and network of deviants.
-
- Ingrid always told me that the real crunch for the dysfunctional
political elite in America would come when their sexual deviations and
criminal activities especially with children would come to light. BBC and
CNN news, which I can monitor from my cell, were full with interviews,
press conferences and contradictory claims and statements by former aides
of Foley's, former pages, etc. Add to this Hastert's obvious lies and distortions
- wow!
-
- Watching all of this made me feel as if I were in a time
warp and was beamed down into the Roman Senate at the time of Brutus and
Julius Caesar's intrigues. The media showed some video clips of an effetely
prancing Foley, expounding on the virtues of "conservative family
values," about the dangers of "sexual predators," and how
the Internet should be "managed" by the government in order to
prevent sexual predation of minors, how he and his committee intended to
"fix it," etc. etc. Disgusting!
-
- All of Foley's lies made me recall a letter my Canadian
lady lawyer sent me recently, in which she mentioned another book written
by Professor Robert Hare entitled "Snakes in Suits," a follow
up on his book about psychopathology, "Without Conscience." Barbara
wrote that Hare largely investigated the psychopathological behavior of
business tycoons and various other professionals, the Ken Lay and Andrew
Fastow types. Maybe you and I should write a "Secrets Exposed"
book, a follow up to Hare's work, entitled "Gansters with Badges,"
or "Enforcers in Robes." We know the personality types and profiles,
and the modus operandi. Our work would do society a great deal of good,
by giving them the keys to the underworld, so to speak.
-
- If anyone wants to understand the real inner imperative
of the elite, it is the knowledge of psychopathic behavior that one must
fully comprehend, and how the elites are using this aberrant personality
trait of theirs to their own advantage. One of my fellow prisoners, one
of a very few - a handful really with a broader vision - has been sharing
a book with me. The original title of the book, written in English, is
Blowback: The Cost of Empire. It's a very informative book - I was lent
the German version, which is more appropriately titled "Imperium erfällt,"
translated, "An Empire disintegrates." The book details the consequences
of America's foreign policy aspirations and how by engaging in these actions,
America has alienated much of the rest of the world. It's clear that the
author understands that America is already in "full scale disintegration,"
and that it's probably too late to do anything about it. Watching the news
over these last weeks really reinforces for me the author's thesis. He
frankly illustrates many of the ruthless methods of the empire and how
it deals with and has dealt with perceived enemies proactively. He laid
bare the entrails of how the system works - one area that you'll appreciate
because of the insights you have gained with your Congressman concerning
my case. It might be a good idea to check that book out of your local library
and give it a good read. The author discusses how it is that the empire
[America] deals with so-called "terrorists," i.e. their favorite
phrase used against the Empire's critics and opponents. Here it is.
-
- "It [The empire] utilized in these cases its so-called
"disruption strategy," a tactic to achieve the wearing down of
the terrorists - read "revisionists", my terminology, from now
on used as a substitute - which consists of making trouble for them worldwide.
The goal is to drive the [revisionists] out of their hiding places, in
order that cooperative police forces or spy agencies can arrest, detain
and imprison them." I loved that phrase, "cooperative police
and agencies".
-
- Quoting an Associated Press article, the author continues:
-
- "The CIA keeps its role secret and the countries
which in fact actually proceed against the suspected [revisionist] carefully,
in order to hide the role of the United States, unless they themselves
get into difficulty."
-
- Now Curtis, that's exactly what has happened in all of
these overseas kidnappings - cases involving people like myself, El Masrie
in Germany, Arar in Canada, etc. Recently a Canadian commission of Inquiry
in Ottawa revealed the entire Arar case to the public. They blew the lid
right off the Canadian and US Government's lies. The Canadian police, and
Intelligence service [CSIS] just like the author noted, attempted to cover
up their collusion with the US Government - knowingly setting up an innocent
man. They did the very same to John Demjanjuk, sending him to be tortured
by a third government [Israel] in the Mid-East. They figured all along
that their criminal actions would never be uncovered; after all, they had
the government and media on their side. Fortunately for Arar, his wife,
who was well connected politically, was no pushover. Did you know that
the Chief of Canada's RCMP actually apologized to Maher Arar? Of course
he was forced by public pressure to do so, but nonetheless, that's quite
a victory in some respects.
-
- The patriotic and revisionists networks in America and
Canada have a lot to learn from Arar's wife. They have never developed
the ability to cooperate with one another. It requires a single-minded
determination, a pursuit that doesn't allow petty differences to divert
the [determination] necessary to drive a point home. For years I have known
this, and I knew this on the day the cuffs were snapped around my wrists
in Tennessee. Ingrid had illusions that there would be a groundswell of
support, a worldwide uproar, demonstrations and the like, but alas, in
the end it seems there has been more talk than action. The Left and Blacks
are more active stateside in the defense [against] cop killers than are
our people, who have nothing more to do than defend a pitiful handful of
people imprisoned for nothing more than their words. We revisionists have
a job to do, and complaining won't get the word out - so buckle down and
get busy!
-
- The "disruption strategy," was devised by the
CIA and used by Clinton's National Security advisor Richard Clarke, who
stayed on with the Bush Adminstration. Bush was pleased with Clarke's work
because it specifically exempted the CIA from the requirement to report
to Congress what they were and still are doing - that's why they can just
"pick up," people like me, Germar Rudolf, Arar and many others
in the United States, and deport them - no oversight whatsoever! That's
why Congressman Ron Paul and Congressman Dannemeier, Ingrid's friend, couldn't
find any answers - there were none.
