Today's Zundel letter was written April 20, 2003 - Hitler's
birthday - to Dr. Robert Countess, a former Army Chaplain and fellow
Revisionist.
Here Ernst refers to his answer in the hearings where he was
asked if it was true that he had in the past referred to the Führer as
"the Great One" - and to the horror of some of his friends and to
the triumph of his adversaries he said what he has always said - that, yes,
those were his very words!
Dear Robert -
It was good of you to come by and visit me in jail. I
enjoyed our wide-ranging talk and also your sense of humor and your
prayers with me. It was also good to see you at the hearings. It's a nice
and comforting feeling to see familiar faces at such moments.
I actually welcomed that opportunity to bear witness to
Germany's greatest son, when the opportunity arose for me to do so. I am
ever so glad I am never tempted to make foul compromises, not to bend my
knees to the servants of Evil and Zion for their satisfaction and
amusement.
I asked our Prison Chaplain for a Bible study course, and
he was kind enough to have a guard bring it to my cell. I found some
amazing parallels in the lives of some of the early apostles to my own
life and career - like Paul's repeated jailings for his preachings and
teachings. I took a certain comfort out of the stories of poor Job - I
related to his never-ending trials and tribulations. So there is really
nothing new under the sun for dissidents!
The course itself is childish, simplistic and
unsatisfying, obviously geared to a pretty dumbed-down population segment.
It did not live up to its billing. The authorities have not given me the
German New Testament you sent me. It might have been confiscated or stolen
like other mail by those who have a mail cover outside the institution -
which is like a licence to steal and create havoc, sanctioned by
government with those secret service types. If you already have
politicians with poor morals and ethics, and they become ministers, their
ministries and the government agencies they oversee also quickly become
compromised. There is lots of truth to the old adage that one rotten apple
can indeed spoil the whole barrel quickly.
We can see that in Canada, America, and certainly Germany
- three countries with which I am familiar.
There will be another continued detention review hearing ,
and unless our currently running judicial review hearing bears any
results, I will certainly not be released and will be here or maybe even
in Toronto after or even before the next hearing.
Ingrid tells me that most large Canadian news
organizations and especially newspapers have purged their web archives of
most Zundel stories, unlike some American Internet services. She claims
38,000 websites are coming up if you type in my name. If that is true,
that is surprising. She also says that as far as global popularity of all
the worldwide websites are concerned, the Zundelsite skyrocketed from a
very respectable place around 120,000th out of [some estimated] 600
million websites world-wide. Since my arrest we climbed to 20,000th, and
are still climbing. Every time hearings take place, a new surge results.
She says that if this present trend continues, we will reach CNN and the
New York Times by Christmas 2003. That's absolutely astonishing to me if
it's true and she is not being misled. If this is all true, I should
simply stay put at my Thorold Hilton, where today, on Easter Sunday and
Adolf Hitler's 114th birthday, it is heavenly quiet. Even the crazies are
strangely silent the whole day.
It's a little embarrassing to me that it took my arrest,
deportation and jailings to accomplish this almost miraculous feat. I
still can't figure it out why this should be of such interest to people
all over the globe. It's weird but wonderful - after all, where could I
earn so much money to buy so many stamps, envelopes?
The global scene is changing perceptively in our favor.
Don't let the looting spree and easy victories in Panama, Haiti,
Afghanistan and now Iraq fool you, Robert! There is an ebb and tide in the
affairs of men, and vainglorious, power-drunk neoconservatives are not
immune to the lessons and pitfalls of history. No one is.
I have lived and travelled in America with wide-open eyes.
I have seen the teeming masses of New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and
Chicago. I have studied the human material, the men and their machines up
close, and I shudder when I think about the future of America's
non-existent primary industrial base, all exported to the sweat shops of
China, India, Korea and a thousand other places. I have seen the obese,
unhealthy, unthinking, flabby population even in rural America, munching
their deadly junk food from ever more garish plastic cups and plates. I
have seen the waiting rooms of doctors and the emergency rooms of
children's hospitals - kids with cancer at three years of age, an epidemic
of children's diabetes, almost every child with imperfect vision, asthma,
learning disabilities - so hyper, so misbehaved, they can't concentrate
but for a few minutes! No, Robert Countess, no great, certainly no lasting
empire can be created with such material, much less held together for any
length of time. None! It's not possible. It's a foregone conclusion that
this mushroom-like culture will implode, collapse from within at the
slightest reversal of one of their ill-advised overseas robbery campaigns!
The struggle is for resources - oil, water, food. I have
watched the campesinos up and down the Imperial valley, stooped over,
producing 60% of the fruits and vegetables we eat - artificially
fertilized, the water table depleted to the point where the ground has
sunk 20-30 feet in many places. How long do you think 1.2 billion Chinese
are going to be sitting idly bY, once all those factories have been built
with American know-how and U.S. money, once [the corporations] have sucked
the life substance out of America's still-producing heartland, once the
Mexicans begin to move into America's southwest? How long to take Los
Angeles, San Francisco - by democratic voting patterns for the time being,
by demographics in one more generation? Rome beckons. The rot of Rome is
everywhere. The handwriting is on the wall.
I remember seeing a sign in the 1970s in Montana, a
billboard: "America! Repent or Perish!" I never forgot that!
The doctor came by yesterday, was pleasant and pleased
with the blood pressure coming down to non-stroke levels. I am too, for I
would like to stick around for a while and see with my very own eyes the
self-destructing of my bitter enemies, just when they think they have
achieved their messianic-madness goal. They are truly a pityable lot - so
brilliant and capable in many ways, and yet so blind to their own faults
and follies, which will - as so often in the past in their 5000 year long
troubled, bloody history - snatch defeat from near-certain victory. If
only they could be just a little bit more human!
If anyone ever wants to see a curse at work, their fate is
it - a living daily example!
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.
