To our friends around the world:
As promised, here is an update about the Mannheim Holocaust
Heresy Trial hearing on June 9, 2006:
Eleven new hearing dates have been set! Please mark
your calendar!
All hearings start at 9:00 A.M - except for July 3rd
which starts at 10:00 A.M.
Many of our supporters were horrified at the time this
political show trial is taking - the feeling being that the government's
intent is to drain us of our defense funds by spreading out the dates and
wasting them with trivia. Also, it means that media will lose interest, as
will the audience - many of whom come at great personal sacrifice of comfort
and money. The meat of the matter hasn't even been touched - namely the
fraudulent Holocaust claims, scientifically debunked already for decades,
that neither Ernst nor his attorneys are allowed to offer in his defense!
Of course I am only guessing, since Ernst is not even
allowed to communicate anything substantial about the trial itself, but it
seems to me that Ernst is not overly upset. The days spent in investigative
detention will be subtracted from the judgment which, according to the
feedback I am getting, will go against him and is, in an
"Allied"-controlled country like Germany, already a foregone
conclusion.
Everybody tells me that under the present, Soviet-style
system, there is no way that Ernst can win. Not only is he prevented from
defending himself with solid facts against the judicial Holocaust Protection
Racket - Par. 130 - the defense attorneys themselves are at peril of being
charged, fined and/or otherwise punished by proffering those facts!
Welcome to the New World Order - in Europe!
So you can easily see that this trial exposes the
camouflaged occupational dictatorship still locked in place in Germany -
this after some 60-plus years!
Why then continue to fight? Well, as before - with this
trial against a high-profile political dissident, the state supplies a
megaphone with which to broadcast its own corruption. Therefore, we carry
on.
I also feel that the longer this trial continues, the more
chances we have to get meaningful action in parallel trials. For one, Germar
Rudolf's trial is coming up, as is Siegfried Verbeke's. David Irving's case,
I understand, is heading for appeal. And there are other juicy trials and
appeals in full view of the public, such as the appeal by Ursula Haverbeck,
a most distinguished lady editor who wrote one of the finest and crispest
Revisionist summaries addressed to the appeal court that I have ever read.
(Unfortunately for most of you, it is in German - and
translators from German to English are few and far between. If somebody can
do a translation, please contact me! I am bewitched by what that lady wrote
in lucid and elegant prose! How there can still be judges in Germany able to
face themselves in the mirror after arguments like those by Ursula Haverbeck
is beyond me!)
From my perspective, at least there is a chance that the
main issue just can't be avoided forever, what with the prosecution's
tap-dancing like the proverbial cat on the hot tin roof! The longer this
trial proceeds, the better chance there is that ever more people are going
to get alerted to the abominable Par. 130 that shields the Holocaust Lobby
and prevents legitimate and conscientious historical research. Assuming that
our supporter front holds - I say that the outcome is still far from
decided!
=====
But back to June 9th. From various sources I stitch the
following together:
The defense team was present in full force. Media presence
was moderate, compared to the first few days. Security had been reduced to
10 guards - I guess the initial show of force ( about triple the current
one ) to keep an audience of mostly somber senior citizens in soft loafers
in check looked just a little bit too silly!
Present also were about 60 supporters - along with a class
made up of teenagers who were given preferential seating in chairs
reserved for the press, much to the annoyance of the discriminated
Zundelists.
When Ernst arrived, there was again applause - even though
forbidden by Judge Meinerzhagen, and the "offenders" had to hand
over their ID s to the guards. One of my Zgram readers gave me a tip
beforehand suggesting that the audience ought to only pretend to applaud -
to dare the judge to forbid even pro-Zundel hand movements! I didn't have
the heart to pass it on - I merely plan to reserve it for my
still-in-the-planning stages, large screen feature movie! That moment of
creative hilarity will be preserved - assuredly - for audiences to come!
One supporter was escorted out of the room for some
"offense" that was later termed "a mistake." He was
back, undaunted, in the afternoon and was permitted to stay.
Again, the defense presented a motion to have Judge
Meinerzhagen excuse himself for bias - I am not sure on what specific
point. As before, that request was dismissed as being irrelevant. Attorney
Rieger next complained that the defense was not given sufficient insight
into documents. Again, his request was dismissed.
Then came the highlight of the day - the government's Star
Witness, a woman who had been at least part of the "Head Hunters
Dream Team" to deport or extradite the venerable Mr. Zundel. Her name
is Sabine Kuhl, age 31 - in other words, barely out of diapers when Ernst
fought his first Holocaust Trial. Her title is a mouthful - "Kriminaloberkommissarin"
- a title that speaks volumes. I shall shorten it to Kommissar Kuhl.
Kommissar Kuhl claims that she was only involved in the
Zundel matter since February 2003, tasked by the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA,
an outfit similar to our FBI) to get her hands on Zundel - which, so her
testimony went, was a bit difficult since Zundel, somehow delivered by
mix-up or intent to Canada instead of Germany, immediately asked for
Canadian asylum.
From what I gathered by speaking to supporters who were
present in the courtroom, she testified that the USA had been
"unwilling" to hand Ernst over to the "Bundesrepublik"
directly, which evidently threw a monkey wrench into a surreptitious plan.
A German arrest warrant dating from 1991 had meanwhile
expired - a new one had to be sworn out on the run! Now that Ernst was in
Canada, held as a "security risk" in "Guantanamo
North", the eager beaver BKA officials were forced to chew their
nails. For two long years, the Zundel lawyers fought the looming
"deportation" threat while Ernst was being tortured half to
death, held captive on starvation rations in isolation in an ice cold cell
where the light was never turned off.
In the end, bureaucratic endurance won out on both sides
of the ocean. The Grand Day came, as we all know - and on February 22,
2005 it was clear that the Security Certificate allowed the spiriting away
of one of the world's most famous dissidents and foes of the Holocaust
Lobby. This last act was accomplished by luxury plane at Canadian
taxpayers' expense on March 1, 2005 to avoid a last minute snare by
regular Frankfurt Airport customs officials who would have insisted on a
current passport, withheld by mutual agreement of at least three
governments - Germany, Canada, and our venerable USA. At the airport,
waiting, was the illustrious Kommissar Kuhl to take her price catch deftly
into custody. I saw it on American TV.
=====
At this point, apparently, some drama ensued. Judge
Meinerzhagen asked Kommissar Kuhl that the correspondence involving the BKA
and Washington, D.C. be kept "in the foreground."
Was it not true, he asked, that someone in Germany
desperately wanted that deportation - if not extradition? Just how, exactly,
was that done?
Here is what Kommissar Kuhl said, in essence, Please be
aware that I am paraphrasing:
Kommissar Kuhl: Part of
the problem was that Mr. Zundel would have needed a new passport, had
regular channels been utilized. The BKA wanted to deny him a
passport - he could have been arrested [by Customs?] because his old one
had expired!
Judge Meinerzhagen: Why,
first, to Canada?
The answer to that was not clear.
( "Kuhl started to swerve," as one supporter put it. )
Attorney Rieger: Did
there exist a German-Canadian agreement for deportation?
Kommissar Kuhl: Well, no.
We did send on the expired arrest warrant from 1991.
Judge Meinerzhagen: Was
there an official deportation request?
Kommissar Kuhl: No.
Neither in the USA or Canada. The Foreign Ministry in Berlin was
worried about political fallout. The BKA and the then Attorney
General Klein had thought it wise to wait for the result of the Canadian
court proceedings. It was not necessary to request a
deportation/extradition, since Zundel's actions [namely questioning the
Holocaust and thereby hurting the feelings of the Jews] were considered
punishable in Canada.
(Ingrid's comment: This is a
slimy way of admitting that Canada had to "criminalize" Ernst
Zundel first, by swearing out the Security Certificate - so that
there was a reason to deliver him to Kuhl and Co. in Germany!)
Judge Meinerzhagen. Was
there an attempt to send Mr. Zundel back to the USA - or to Germany?
Did the BKA know about the charges of the Canadian government against
Mr. Zundel?
Kommissar Kuhl: We knew
nothing about this.
Judge Meinerzhagen: What
happened prior to the deportation of Mr. Zundel?
Kommissar Kuhl: No
investigation. No action.
Judge Meinerzhagen: What
other countries were considered for Mr. Zundel to be sent to?
Kommissar Kuhl: The BKA
does not know what the USA intended.
Judge Meinerzhagen: Was
the Foreign Ministry involved in the deportation?
Kommissar Kuhl: I cannot
answer that. I only know about contacts via [Embassies?
Consulates?] of countries. They received the necessary information
as well as medication against high blood pressure and vitamins.
Zundel was allowed to call his attorney and his sister.
Judge Meinerzhagen: Mr.
Zundel had the status of a landed immigrant without citizenship,
although he had unlimited permission to live in Canada. He went
voluntarily to the U.S. where he continued to send out his Power and
Germania letters. His marriage to Mrs. Ingrid Rimland followed,
who was running the Zundelsite.
Kommissar Kuhl: Regarding
concrete statements about the reason for the arrest by U.S. officials I
am not in a position to comment.
Defense Attorney Rieger:
It is known that the BKA has contact with the Canadian Secret service,
CSIS.
Kommissar Kuhl: (avoids
comment)
Defense Attorney Rieger:
Mrs. Kuhl, are you aware that in March [of this year] two members of the
Canadian Secret Service were present during court?
Kommissar Kuhl: No.
Defense Attorney Rieger:
The tape of the broadcast out of Königsberg is said to have been
delivered [to the BKA] by CSIS.
Kommissar Kuhl:
(stutters, avoiding a clear answer.)
Defense Attorney Rieger:
Who, besides you, had to do with these matters? The tape was
handed to the BKA by CSIS. There existed or exists close contact
with the BKA.
Kommissar Kuhl: I am not
sure. I can try to find out.
Defense attorney Rieger:
A CSIS liaison in Moscow arranged for this [Zundel radio show] to be
canceled.
Judge Meinerzhagen: In
Volume 12 under CSIS 104, recorded and signed by Kriminalkommissar Kölsch.
Kommissar Kuhl: Regarding
the deliveries by Irene (Ernst's ex-wife who defected to his
enemies after their separation and offered to be deposed against him] -
most of what she said was already known - and uninteresting.
Judge Meinerzhagen: Does
the BKA consider Irene reliable?
Kommissar Kuhl: According
to a note by Kommissar Kölsch, there was no interest in her testimony
after 1998/99.
Judge Meinerzhagen:
Please, let's return to the topic.
Defense Attorney Schaller:
The documents ought to contain investigations from the Internet.
Kommissar Kuhl: They are
in File Folder D.
Defense Attorney Schaller.
The USA and Canada could have found all the information on the Internet.
They did not need Irene. What was delivered by Mrs. Binsdorf?
[Ingrid's comment: I don't know who she is or even if the name is
spelled right.]
Kommissar Kuhl: That's in
the documents. That is in the file folders.
Defense Attorney Schaller:
Even the Munich judgment of 1991?
Kommissar Kuhl: It could
not be concluded from the documents that Mr. Zundel was involved in the
White Supremacy Movement. That's not what we were trying to
establish.
Defense Attorney Rieger.
Already two days before the decision in Toronto [regarding deportation]
there was news about the outcome. Did Ernst Zundel wish to go to
another country - Ireland, Sweden, Iran?
Kommissar Kuhl: In
Germany there was only talk about a stay in Canada.
Defense Attorney Rieger:
Were other BKA officials involved in preventing a deportation to a third
country? There were other possibilities. Was the official in
question from the BKA or from the BND? [Bundesnachrichtendienst,
Germany's spy agency, much like CSIS]
Kommissar Kuhl: We
haven't worked together directly with the BND. I wouldn't know who
that could be.
Defense Attorney Rieger:
Are you aware that the Canadians asked for media silence until Ernst
Zundel was delivered to the German officials? Did you coordinate
the press release with the Canadian side?
Kommissar Kuhl: Only with
the German consulates and embassies. We did not have direct
contact with CSIS.
Defense Attorney Rieger:
With which persons?
Kommissar Kuhl: [No
comment.]
Defense Attorney Rieger:
Are there any other charges against Mr. Zundel?
Kommissar Kuhl: As far as
I know, and what I can see here in my notes - No.
Defense Attorney Rieger:
Who, before you, was in charge of this investigation?
Kommissar: [Names
someone. Not clear]
Judge Meinerzhagen: Who
was in charge of checking the Zundelsite? Who gave the order?
Kommissar Kuhl: It was
given by Attorney General Klein.
Judge Meinerzhagen? How
was it done?
Kommissar Kuhl: The
layout changed. Texts were in various languages - German, English
and others - not all of them complete. According to Paragraph 130,
some of them were punishable, some of them were not. There were
submissions from Samisdat, mirror sites, German articles and headlines.
Judge Meinerzhagen: Was
the search through keywords "Zundelsite"? Were there
references? Links?
At this point the prosecution and
defense busied themselves with checking documents on the judge's desk.
The audience could no longer follow.
Please, once again: Above, I
was stitching together what happened on June 9th from various sources.
Since Germany does not allow transcripts, this is the best that I can do
to convey to my readers what happened.
The hearing was concluded at 4:15
P.M. I have been told that Kommissar Kuhl will be back on the stand
when the trial resumes.
Who, besides me, is on tiptoes?

Additional Comment:
A clarification is in order about Ernst's passport. It was indeed
expired, but there is no law that says that Ernst would have to renew it.
He tried once, and was told by a German Consul (friendly to us) on the
West Coast that if he tried, he would only be given a one-day, one way
passport. The Consul hinted it would be foolish to try. I know
this for a fact, because I was the one who approached him with this
question at a private social gathering one sunny Sunday afternoon.
So it is true that Ernst did not have a valid passport. However, he
was in Adjustment of Status proceedings. He had INS permission to
work in the U.S.; he was given a social security number, a health
check; he paid taxes in the U.S.; he had a document issued by the
Justice Department that permitted him to leave the U.S. and return,
unmolested.
The lack of passport issue, referenced below, merely shows that it merely
worried the German lackeys. How to get him through German
customs if and when deportation became a reality - without all media hell
breaking loose?
Remember also, Ernst Zundel has copies of some 150 lbs of documents that
show enormous, costly behind-the-scenes machinations by his political
enemies to seize and neutralize him - by hook and by crook, by faking a
threadbare "deportation". Kommissar Kuhl is only one of
those players who was tasked to do this dirty job, and I am merely giving
you a sample of what she wrote to various German, Canadian, and U.S.
officials - there are dozens if not hundreds of participants, all hunting
down one pacifist dissident who challenged the conventional historical
story of what we think of as the "Holocaust."
The dated texts below are a very small sample of my summarizing
translation notes to help our U.S. immigration attorney, who does not
speak English, to understand how German officials ensnared their favorite
villain.
Dates are important to understand this. Remember that Ernst was
kidnapped February 5, 2003, taken in shackles across the Canadian
border on February 17, 2003, returned to the U.S. on the same day,
held in a Batavia detention until February 19, and then permanently
put across the border to Canada.
Here is what these captured documents show:
Sabine Kuhl on February 18, 2003
to a BKA liaison in Washington, D.C.:
We are letting you know that as of
2/17/2003 a new arrest warrant has been sworn out.
Because of a possible deportation of
Zundel to Germany, the Prosecutor in Mannheim is asking the following:
* How long will the U.S.A.
keep Zundel in detention?
*
Is there a possibility that the U.S. agencies would release Zundel from
detention even without a valid passport?
If there are further questions, call
the above number.
The following documents are added to
this message:
*
A shortened version of the arrest warrant of 02/17/2003 in German (the
translation into English is going to be sent on 02/19/2003)
*
A letter from Mannheim dated 02/17/2003 was personally handed to the
Canadian Embassy
*
A letter from Mannheim dated 02/17/2003 was sent to the General Consulate
in Atlanta/Canada (on 02/17/2003 also sent to the Foreign Ministry)
Sabine Kuhl on February 20, 2003
to a BKA liaison in Washington, D.C.:
We are asking to send us all the
details of the arrest up to the deportation of Ernst Zundel to Canada.
The BKA would like to have the same
information.
Especially, we would like to know
the following:
*
What caused the arrest of Ernst Zundel on 2/5/2003? (Our office only
received press releases and the news from Atlanta General Consulate.
*
What kind of status did Ernst Zundel have, since he is married to a U.S.
citizen?
*
Is there a chance that he might return to the U.S.?
*
Why was he sent to Canada?
*
Why were there different opinions as to where he should be sent, Canada or
Germany, within the INS?
Today we already established contact
between Leslie Peters, liaison at the Canadian Embassy in Berlin (see
email)
In case Bloedorn [apparently located
at the German Embassy in Washington, D.C.] has contact with the
Canadian authorities, we could clear the fax of 02/19/2003 why the
Canadian officials have contact with the German Embassy in Ottawa.
Sabine Kuhl on February 21, 2003
to someone named "Krömer" [Krämer?]
Pertaining to your fax of 02/19/2003
it was decided that House and Kuhl would accompany Ernst Zundel during his
flight on 02/21/2003 from Dulles to Germany/Frankfurt - arriving
02/22/2003 around 7:10 a.m.
In order to accomplish that, House
and Kuhl will arrive on 02/20/2003 around 3 p.m. at Dulles Airport.
We ask that the following items be cleared:
Confirmation of the deportation of
Ernst Zundel for 02/21/2003, 5:30 p.m. from Washington (according to
General Consulate, Atlanta, Mr. Bartholomei is in contact with Mr. Nelson
of the [U.S.] INS in order for the return passport for Ernst Zundel [to be
issued?]. He needs the photos for this passport.
We need to know how Ernst Zundel is
going to be handed over to the German officials in the U.S.A.
We need lodging arrangements for
House and Kuhl for February 20 and 21.
We need a ride from Dulles.
House and Kuhl have business
passports to enter the U.S. We need confirmation that these business
passports are sufficient to stay in the U.S. one day.
Oliver Bloedorn note to himself,
dated June 3, 2003:
I am sending replies to CSIS that
were given to me from BND - VS in Ottawa. CSIS is seemingly against
Ernst Zundel staying in Canada and needs additional documentation from
Germany. I am asking for additional info.
A note from someone named Berndt
Goebel, dated June 6, 2003:
Hey, Helmut, Sabine -
I believe you could put this file
back on the tableŠ.
A (partial) note from a woman named
Jessica Fernandez, apparently of the German Consulate in Toronto, to
Helmut House of the BKA, Meckenheim, dated July 5, 2003:
It may be concluded that Ernst
Zundel is not in the possession of a valid passport. According to
CIC in Niagara Falls, the last passport is in their possession. The
General Consulate has asked CIC to hand over this travel passport at the
latest when the deportation papers are prepared. Here it is assumed
that Ernst Zundel will probably refuse to sign the passport, in which case
RES 515-35, No 2.1 will have to be used.
There is an important document by
one Peter Ziegler, presumably the German Ambassador in Ottawa, dated
June 20, 2003 that states, in essence, that it is difficult to nail
Ernst Zundel, given the ambiguous Canadian laws and the fact that he was
cleared in 1992 by the Supreme Court of Canada. The document hints
at the possibility that an "informal" arrangement was offered to
the Germans by the Canadian Justice Ministry.
=====
TO MY READERS: You have now gotten a very small glimpse of the many,
many documents, thousands of them - letterheads and all! - that were
handed over to Ernst, apparently according to some German version of the
Freedom of Information Act. Copies of these documents are now in the
hands of various attorneys in several countries. This story has
barely begun!
This was no simple "visa overstay", as U.S. Immigration
officials have claimed! This was an extrajudicial rendition - in
other words, a political kidnapping. Let that be stated for the
record!
