ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

July 20, 2001

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Two items today of interest to the open Revisionist community and closeted
Revisionist aficionados.

Bad news and good news!

Bad news up front:  To no one's great surprise, the British judicial system
has rubberstamped its subordination to the Holocaust Lobby and denied David
Irving his appeal to challenge the shrill ruling of Judge Gray, affirming
that the controversial historian does indeed merit vicious and defamatory
name-calling coming from the likes of Deborah Lipstadt.

To quote the Guardian of today:

[START]

Controversial historian David Irving today faces possible bankruptcy
proceedings after losing his appeal against a high court libel ruling which
branded him a "Holocaust denier".

The court of appeal in London upheld last year's judgement against Mr
Irving, saying that American academic Deborah Lipstadt had been within her
rights to accuse him of denying the Holocaust. (...)

Giving his judgment in the libel case 15 months ago, Mr Justice Gray said
that 63-year-old Mr Irving had, for his own ideological reasons,
deliberately misrepresented historical evidence and portrayed Hitler in an
unwarranted favourable light. In the 333-page judgement, he described Mr
Irving as a Holocaust denier, falsifier of history, a racist and an
anti-Semite. (...)

Giving judgement today, Lord Justice Pill said that Mr Gray was "fully
entitled" to find that Prof Lipstadt and Penguin were not guilty of libel."

[END]

David Irving, naturally expecting this judgment, showed his contempt for
this judicial miscarriage of justice by simply staying away from the court
house.  He said he was too busy promoting his newest book on Winston
Churchill, eagerly awaited by his many fans.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

The second item is much more cheerful - in fact, so funny and so out of
character of our opposition that we are all left speechless but with grins
from ear to ear.

Remember if you will, please, that in practically all European countries,
and certainly in Germany, you cannot breathe a word of what would be
described as "Holocaust denial."  You'd be as cooked as your proberbial hot
dog.

Let's say that you felt obstinate.  Let's say that you stood on a corner in
Berlin, and you muttered defiantly under your breath:  "The Holocaust never
happened!" A bystander heard you utter such heresy, ran to the cops,
unloaded what he overheard - and chances are that fines and even jail would
be your fate.  Up to five years, that is!

Now savor this excerpt from a Reuters release of July 17, 2001:

[START]

"The Holocaust never happened" is the controversial slogan that will be
plastered on billboards across Germany this week as part of a fundraising
campaign for a Berlin memorial to Jewish victims of the Nazis.

The slogan, which appears over a picture of a serene mountain lake and
snow-capped mountain, is intended to "shake up the indifferent and motivate
the hesitant," the foundation organizing the campaign said on Tuesday.
(...)

A much smaller text underneath the statement reveals the campaign's real
message: "There are still many people who make this claim. In 20 years
there could be even more. Make a donation to the memorial for the murdered
Jews of Europe."

!


Is that ad going to do what it was meant to do - "More Guilt, More Geld" -
or it is going to cause your average German to stop dead in his tracks and
start grinning with glee?

Have our enemies lost all their marbles?

This goofy ad idea is the brainchild of one Lea Rosh, a media star of
sorts, who hopes to reap some $2.18 million in donations for yet another
Holocaust Memorial.

Who's Lea Rosh, you ask?

Here David Irving has an answer, titled "The Lowdown on Lea":

[START'

"LEA Rosh is the girl friend of the singulary unlovely professor Eberhard
J=E4ckel, former head of the history department at Stuttgart University, who
was unmasked together with her for using fake photographs to illustrate a
Holocaust documentary on German television, Der Tod, ein Meister aus
Deutschland. (Which makes J=E4ckel a "Meister-Nestbeschmutzer" aus
Deutschland) [Zundelsite translation:  "A master nest-befouler of Germany"]

Lea is not of course her real name, nor is she Jewish. She was born Edith,
but sensing that it would assist her career in the German television
industry if the cringing administrators of that industry thought she was
Jewish, she changed her first name to Lea. She consequently rocketed to
fame and fortune as chief of Norddeutscher Rundfunk, one of the biggest
television networks in Europe."

[END]

So there you have it, and that is how it's done.  You change your name to
Sarah or David, whatever your gender may be, you tack a plea for sheckels
unto a poster ad - and you, too, can become a Holocaust Denier.  Bingo!

I had sent the URL of this incredibly black-humor poster to Dr. Faurisson
in France, who promptly felt inspired to suggest possibilities for
Revisionist poster expansion:

[START]

There  Never Was any Holocaust, by Robert Faurisson, 19 July

The  photograph of an idyllic German landscape is set to be exhibited from
today in  the form of a huge poster in the centre of Berlin and all
throughout Germany;  postcards bearing the same image will be distributed
in quantity free of charge.  Superimposed in large letters on the landscape
is the sentence:  den  holocaust hat es nie gegeben =1D  ( There never was a
holocaust =1D) and, in smaller print, a text  reading:

"There  are still many people who make this claim. In 20 years there will
be even more.  Make a donation for the memorial to the murdered Jews of
Europe."=20

There follow instructions as to how to make a contribution. The  campaign's
organisers, amongst whom Lea Rosh, acknowledge its provocative  character.
In Germany, in Austria, and in a good number of other countries in  the
world, anyone who disputes the "Holocaust" =1D story, or who merely calls it
into question, is liable to a long prison term, fines, a professional ban,
and  still other punishments.

In Berlin, the  "Holocaust"=1D museum is scheduled to open on 27 January
2004, in commemoration of the 59th anniversary of the Soviet   "Liberation
of Auschwitz". =1D

When shall we in France see a new launch of the slogan  "Faurisson a
raison" =1D (1979) or  "L'abb=E9 Pierre a raison" =1D (1996)? We should then=
 see
in Toronto   "Zundel is right". =1D In Munich, where in 1995 Reinhold
Elstner, as an act of  protest against  "the Niagara of lies =1D poured upon
his country" burned himself to  death, we should see  "Elstner hatte
Recht". =1D And so forth.

But  - a sine qua non - the proceeds would, of course, go towards Jewish
memorials or to Jewish organisations.=20

[END]

Our Revisionist hat is off for "Ingenuity to Bring Revisionism to the
Masses" to Germany's Jane Fonda - Lea Rosh!

=3D=3D=3D=3D
