ZGram - Revisionist Week in Review

July 22, 2001

Good Morning from the Zundelsite:

Agency France Press of July 10, 2001 reports that the Simon Wiesenthal
Center has called "...for unrestricted access to the files of the Stasi,
the former East Germany's secret police, despite a court ruling that may
limit such access."

Revisionists will consider that excellent news - and urge the SWC to
equally endorse unrestricted access to the Red Cross Arolsen Documentation
Centre where the documents concerning inmates and their criminal records of
former German concentration camps are stored.  Revisionists are forbidden
access.

It is interesting that the Berlin Administrative Court saw fit to ban the
release of transcripts of Stasi files, "such as tape recordings of
conversations concerning contemporary historical figures, if these people
did not agree to their publication."

In these records there would be phone calls between Helmut Kohl, Franz
Josef Strau=DF, Egon Bahr, Willi Brandt and various Jewish leaders with East
German Communist leaders making nefarious deals.  It would reveal such
corruption, deception and massive lying and betrayal of state secrets that
it would topple the current West German vassal state's elite.

Syrian President, Bashar Al-Assad, recently visited Germany - to the
delight of some and fierce opposition by others.  About 100 protesters
gathered at the proposed site of Germany's national Holocaust memorial and
at the nearby Chancellery, among them Beate Klarsfeld, wife of Nazi hunter
Serge Klarsfeld.

"There must be protests, not just a red carpet," she wailed.

Some will remember that in May of this year, Mr. Assad misspoke himself in
the politically incorrect vein by charging that Israelis were trying "to
kill the principles of all religions with the same mentality in which they
betrayed Jesus Christ and the same way they tried to betray and kill the
Prophet Mohammed."

The Central Council of Jews in Germany replied that the only acceptable
response was "a clear distancing from this dictatorship."  For good
measure, the Council's vice president, Michel Friedman, demanded an apology
from the young Syrian President.

According to suppressed news reports by eye witnesses to Assad's German
press conference, the Syrian president also endorsed the Jordanian Writers
Association delving into Revisionism of Zionism's history.  He supposedly
praised the content of Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf and, at least one
respondent reported, called for the arrest of Klarsfeld.

Several AP International releases let us know that "Nazi Hunters Seek
Venezuelan Help" in finding 18 alleged war criminals.

To be tracked down are 14 Lithuanians, three Latvians and one Estonian,
believed to be residing in Venezuela.  Their names, so far, have not been
released.

''Given the serious nature of the crimes which these individuals are
suspected of having committed, we find it difficult to understand why the
Venezuelan government has hereto refrained from responding to our request
for assistance,'' Efraim Zuroff, director of the Israeli chapter of the
Wiesenthal Center, proclaimed.

The Zundelsite suggests that somebody ought to set up a center to track the
gangsters of the "Red Mafiya" - a code word for Jewish Mafia - and go after
them with equal dedication.

German Interior Minister Otto Schily was booed while addressing a group of
Silesian expellees - that is, Germans driven from their homes in Eastern
Europe after World War II.

"Booing at conventions is nothing new," wrote the cyber warrior who sent
this to the Zundelsite, "but usually happens when a politician says that
all issues arising out of expulsion can only be solved in the future in a
wider European context. The latest boos followed Mr. Schily's comments
about the murderous Nazi regime and on how Germany had unleashed World War
II and the Holocaust."

Apparently, a statement to similar effect appeared in the Frankfurter
Zeitung on July 18, 2001.

An enterprising Canadian fellow had a novel idea:  To auction a bracelet
made from a human tooth and braided hair, believed to have come from a
German concentration camp in World War Two.  The owner of this bracelet
came from Israel.

Canadian Jews were horrified.   "It is simply abhorrent to offer such an
object for auction," said David Birnbaum, head of the Quebec section of the
Canadian Jewish Congress.  "It trivializes the Holocaust, one of the worst
tragedies of the 20th century."

Readers might want to know that there exists a thriving business in fake
Holocaust relics being peddled in the parking lots and at kiosks in
Auschwitz and elsewhere, mostly to gullible Jewish tourists, usually by
other Jews, who are similar to the crowds of hawkers who sell "ancient
Egyptian clay artifacts" from recently unearthed graves to tourists from
Europe.

The tide is slowly turning in the matter of "looted art" in and after World
War II.  It turns out that some of the victims of these robberies were not
Jews, as most people assume, but Germans.

Three Renaissance pieces by Rembrandt and Albrecht D=FCrer turned up in a ne=
w
York City hotel room and were given back to the Bremen Museum in Germany.

 "When stolen treasures are smuggled into the United States, we do all we
can to return them to their rightful owners, and to bring any wrongdoers to
justice," said US Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill.

Now we are filled with hope that O'Neill will turn over the 8,000 National
Socialist War art paintings stored in aircraft hangars, quickly
deteriorating, to the artists who produced them - not to the German
government who undoubtedly would burn them.

In the spirit of international cooperation to come to terms with our past,
the Zundelsite suggests that, as a first start, O'Neill should contact
Madeline Albright to return the painting stolen by her father in Prag in
1945 and hanging on the wall of her brother's house in the USA.

The question of whether Ariel Sharon has immunity from standing trial as a
war criminal for the Sabra and Shatila massacre is getting lots of exposure
and discussion, especially in Europe.  According to Reuters and other mass
media outlets, a lawyer representing the survivors of the 1982 Beirut war
crime warned Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon he could not escape the
long arm of international law.

 Belgian lawyer Luc Walleyn, flanked by a survivor of the Sabra and Shatila
refugee camps, gave a press conference in which he stated that Sharon did
not enjoy immunity as a politician.  Walleyn added that the Belgian
government had resisted pressure from the Israeli government to amend
Belgian law and give Sharon immunity.

How this is going to end, with a bang or with a whimper, we shall see.

Japanese officials have agreed, after fierce criticism from Jewish groups,
to scrap a television ad featuring an image of Adolf Hitler aimed at
"drumming up youth involvement".

The Japanese Democratic Progressive Party, DPP, released a short statement
agreeing it will stop airing the commercial  "out of respect for the
holocaust victims" and "to avoid further misinterpretations."

The ad, which showed Hitler in the company of JKK as well as Castro, is
said to have encouraged young people to be bold.

A little sidebar:  Hitler has consistently outpolled all other world
leaders in opinion polls in Japan as being the most popular international
leader of the 20th century.

And speaking of ads, on everybody's tongue these days is a huge,
provocative fundraising ad that claims in large letters "the Holocaust
never happened" - music to Revisionist ears! - and then goes on to complain
that in order to prevent that kind of statement, people ought to reach into
their pockets and finance yet another Holocaust Memorial, this time in
Germany's own capital, Berlin.

"We know we're taking a risk by provoking," said Lea Rosh, a German media
star who sponsored the idea, "But perhaps
the majority are just a bit indifferent, and we want to give them a
little push."

She thinks that people who will be motivated to donate to Berlin's proposed
Holocaust Memorial, "... (will) come to view the monument as their
monument."

Already gleeful, cheeky adaptations of this ad have appeared on many
websites on the Net, some saying "Z=FCndel was right", "The Holocaust is a
Hoax", "Faurisson a raison" etc..

According to a July 18, 2001 Associated Press release, Russia's flamboyant
and outspoken Vladimir Zhirinovsky has finally come clean in a book
published a few days ago, and admitted that his father was Jewish.  For
good measure, he also claims that many of his relatives perished in the
Holocaust.

"My father was a Jew, a Polish Jew," the 56-year-old Zhirinovsky wrote.
"His name was Volf Isaakovich Eidelshtein."

In the past, Zhirinovsly has taken fierce stands against Russian Jews and
has accused Jews "...of bringing Russia to ruin, taking Russian women
abroad for prostitution, and selling healthy Russian children and
transplant organs to the West."

"Why should I reject Russian blood, Russian culture, Russian land and fall
in love with the Jewish people only because of that single drop of blood
that my father left in my mother's body?" wrote Zhirinovsky.

Oy vey!  This must hurt!  Big Z-Zhirinovsky was the man the Jewish media,
inside and outside of Russia, vilified with gusto for the last decade.

As widely expected and predicted, controversial historian David Irving has
lost his bid for permission to appeal against a High Court libel ruling
which branded him a "Holocaust denier".

His comments, as posted on his website, http://www.fpp.co.uk/online/ :

"Lost, after a five year battle: but not lost the war. Sombre drive for an
hour, but a later call to B. brings word that [another of Britain's biggest
book distributors] have just telephoned headquarters, they are also taking
200 Churchill's War, vol. ii, and have praised the book in the highest
terms...we are fighting on still, but on slightly different fronts -- and
we shall try to get a criminal conviction of one of the witnesses for
perjury...How very interesting the whole thing is. Good thing I have strong
nerves."

And, finally, this from a recent visitor to Brasil:

"An entirely  different Freedom of Speech issue:   In every  country
suffering under the onslaught of Zionist agendas to destroy pride  and
autonomy...people routinely fail to see the pattern. As with anti-gun
legislation, they chip away a small piece at a time, until there is no
freedom  left.

"So it is with Brazil, where a city councilman in Cascavel drafted a law
making gossip a  punishable offense. Gossip is typically a natural human
defense mechanism, like ostracism, which shuns that  which is different and
abnormal, thus strengthening that which is homogeneous to  the Nation's
survival. =20

"Gossip is now banned among municipal employees  in the town of
Cascavel. Public servants who gossip will face official reprimands,
obligatory  professional SENSITIVITY TRAINING [like John  Rocker] and even
suspension or dismissal.  =20

"'Public employees have moral rights such as the  right to work in a
professional environment. The law merely helps DEFINE this. So, if
someone accuses or  spreads rumors that cause injury or harm to
another, they will be punished under the idea of professional moral
integrity,' said the law's sponsor, Councilman Alcebiades Pereira da  Silva.
