ZGram - Where Truth is Destiny

August 1, 2002

As most of my readers will remember, twice a year - on February 1 and 
on August 1 - I ask for a financial contribution to keep the ZGrams 
going.  That time has come again.

In my last appeal, six months ago, I wrote:

[START]

"Since 9/11, I have sent my readers to many original, new-to-us quality
sources that are, in their own way, mainstream revisionist in many of the
articles posted. These websites are doing the work on a much broader
scale than we early cyber foot soldiers used to do in the trenches.

This change in my outreach means that while I don't have to do a 
great deal of  original writing, I have to do more reading, more 
sifting, more judging what is reflecting revisionist thought - and 
what is, therefore, useful to understanding what is going on around 
us and will propel our outreach forward - compared to what is 
marginal.

It doesn't mean any less work.  It actually means more work - hours and
hours on the Net - because what I used to do alone and as an 
innovation, now thousands are doing world-wide.  I search the globe, 
ferret out, narrow
down, pick and choose - and shoot out into cyberspace what I consider
representative and worthy of attention - to push, nudge, shove its authors
into an ever widening circle of readers who yearn to understand the "why"
of history.

Finally it dawns on many that if they want to understand such
things as 9/11 - they better pay attention to the past where tragic wars
were manufactured before.

However, it also means that what I circulate is being circulated elsewhere,
arriving often in multiple copies within a few minutes or hours of each
other.  Moreover, with very little effort, people can go to the original
sources and find tons of additional revisionist gems.

Especially my inner circle of readers who so faithfully supported my 
outreach in the beginning must wonder, I am sure:  Why should we pay 
Ingrid when we can go, with the click of a mouse, to her prime 
sources and get our fill - for free?

Good question.  A question I have asked myself more often than you know.

Indeed, why should you?  You will have to decide.  And what you 
decide will determine if I will continue or not.

[END]

Six months ago my readers urged me on - and their support kept 
coming.  If what I do is of value to you, it has to show in financial 
returns.  If not, trust me - my feelings won't be hurt.  It will 
simply mean a gentle good-bye - and on to another historical 
crossroad!

Let me outline the criteria, yet one more time,  to the many newcomers and
old supporters alike:

There is no set "fee".  Please send me what you can - and what you 
decide the service I provide is worth it to you.

If I don't hear from you by August 15, I will assume you wish to be 
taken off my list.

I will gladly make exceptions if the following applies to you:

_____You are already a ***regular*** supporter of my work and receive my
monthly print letter, "Lebensraum!" - and now the additional "Power Letter"

_____You have made a donation ***last February that you consider
sufficient to cover a year

_____You have sent in a donation ***recently***

_____You have joined the ZGram list ***only a short while ago*** and would
like to have a grace period

_____You are one of my ***cyber comrades*** who are helping me with
research, consultation, pro bono legal advice, typing, product donations,
stamp donations etc.

_____You simply cannot make a contribution at this time because of
***special circumstances***, such as having been laid off, a medical
emergency etc.

_____You live in a ***foreign country*** with weak national currencies
where to pay in American dollars would be prohibitively expensive for you.

_____You have a ***publication exchange*** arrangement with me

My work is entirely dependent on you.  Please help share the load and 
shoulder at least a small part of the financial burdens I incur - 
because the struggle for truth in history is a serious and very 
time-consuming effort and is, to me, a full-time job and not a casual 
hobby.

Help me do more by giving me the means, the tools - along with your 
love, your trust and vote of confidence.

If you have a PayPal account or would like to set one up, please go 
to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr  It will allow you to may a 
donation via credit card.

Please use ONLY irimland@zundelsite org.  DON'T USE ANY OTHER E-MAIL ADDRESS.

If you would like to donate DIRECTLY you may do so by check, money 
order or cash.

Thank you so very much! And let me repeat my pledge to you that I won't
disappoint you.  The ghetto will not win!
