On 12 September 2007, the German Bundesgerichtshof, a sort of appeal
court, has rubberstamped the treason against the German People - that
they have absolutely no right to hear the truth about their history.
The judgment stands as Judge Meinerzhagen pronounced it shamelessly
while sentencing Ernst Zundel:
« It is of absolutely no relevance whether the Holocaust happened or
not. Denying it is a punishable offense. That is the only thing
that matters to the Court ! » (Source : Berliner Tageszeitung, 2
Feb 2007)
Five years for speaking the truth - as documented by forensic science
- about the Holocaust !
Let it be said that the defense submissions appealing the harsh
Mannheim sentence consisted of more than 800 carefully crafted pages
of legal arguments.
The Bundesgerichtsamt's reply consisted of one-and-a- half pages of
blah-blah !
Since I am archiving for history the many facets of this epic
struggle between the Germans and the Jews, I thought it is
appropriate to share with you Ernst's thoughts on having reached this
milestone.
In a letter to a fellow activist in France, his dear friend, Dr.
Robert Faurisson, Ernst wrote in part:
Ernst Zündel
JVA Mannheim
Herzogenriedstr. 111
68169 MANNHEIM
24 August 07
Dear Dr. Faurisson !
I know it is August and most of France is on holidays, so forgive the
intrusion, and no need to reply. (S)
I wanted to write one more time, because at the moment it is a bit
like the quiet before the storm we experienced as peasants before a
thunderstorm would hit in Summer before we could get the hay in, or
harvest the grain, potatoes etc. !
There always was a kind of heavyness, a kind of foreboding in the
air, and after two or three lightning strikes and sharp thunder
clasps, the sluice gates of heaven opened up - lukewarm rain would
fall plentifully. There would rise steam from the meadows and forests
- and the air would smell heavenly ! Only a peasant would be able to
appreciate what freshly-watered soil smells like !
Thus, after the stresses and the strains, the constant struggles and
battles and cajoling of the lawyers to try to get them to undertake
certain initiatives, now a certain calm is setting in. I was ordered
to pack and remove my court-related documents from my cell, A
certain realization is setting in that the end phase is [at hand]!
The most amazing, dedicated, quietly competent lawyer [of the
Mannheim trial] was Dr. Schaller. A delight to work with ! I had
invited him to Canada to observe the appeal of one of my trials,
liked him, and we remained in contact ever since. Although unwell, he
consented to help me. I was delighted, for there is no one who takes
the time to weigh every word, who has the enormous background
knowledge, which is a real asset in these cases ! And he is cultured,
with good manners. This has meant that I could draw on his knowledge
and rely on his topics and documents, which he had assembled over a
53-year-spanning career.
Thus justice was done to the cause before history, even if little
justice was done to me by my detractors and persecutors, which
usually happens in these types of cases throughout history.
There are, now that the case is before the Bundesgerichtshof, two
more relatively simple hurdles to take : the Bundesverfassungsgericht
and then the European Court of Human Rights.
If the finances last, we will go there, in order that NO Germans can
say that they did not have a chance to confront and examine their
history. That does not mean that I expect justice will be done - it
is important historically, in the context of the German nation ! And
Karma.
It is also important to me as a person and a son of Germany, that I
stood the ground and did not (S) make foul, unethical compromises in
order to get a lesser sentence, for we say in English : « Where there
is no accuser, there will never be a judge ». Important issues, in
order to be examined, need a forum. Since normal academic forums are
usually barred or denied to certain subjects, courtrooms are a
substitute - a poor one but, still, they are a forum nevertheless.
I was fortunate to have understood that early enough. And I was even
more fortunate in [having lived] in an Anglo-Saxon legal system
dominated Canada, [in a country where] enough of the old Anglo-Saxon
legal traditions still existed but were under assault even then by
the graduates of Marxist dominated universities and law schools.
Thus, in the beginning I was the beneficiary of fortunate cultural
circumstances. I understood those trends - that's why I was so
furious at Mrs. Marshall - in that preliminary hearing in June of
1984, to have not pulled out all stops with that guy Fried, [a
prosecution witness,] for instance, because I realized we would never
get a chance to grill that old German-hater again. He, like Hilberg,
Vrba, Urstein and others are now dead ! WE have their testimonies !
How fortunate I was to have been the instrument, to have especially
found you, and our excentric Ditlieb, to have found a man with the
courage of Christie - and the quiet dedication of Keltie and Barbara !
If ever there was a DREAM-TEAM, we were it !
We have a good library [in prison] with surprisingly interesting
books on esoteric and historical topics I did not have the time to
study in Canada. Here I read at least one or two books a week. (S)
So you can see I will come out of prison wiser than when I came in.
With much respect. Ernst Zündel

German court rejects far-right activist Zundel's appeal against
incitement conviction
BERLIN: A German federal court said Monday that it has rejected an
appeal by far-right activist Ernst Zundel against his incitement
conviction for denying the Holocaust, which resulted in a five-year
prison sentence.
Zundel, who was deported from Canada in 2005, was convicted by a
Mannheim court in February on 14 counts of incitement for years of
anti-Semitic activities, including denying the Holocaust - a crime in
Germany - in documents and on the Internet.
The court handed him the maximum five-year sentence.
The Federal Court of Justice said it had thrown out Zundel's appeal
in a Sept. 12 ruling.
In a statement, the court also said that judges in Mannheim were
right not to deduct time Zundel served in pre-deportation custody in
Canada from his sentence. It said that was not formal
"pre-extradition detention for the criminal proceedings here."
Zundel and his supporters have argued that he was a peaceful
campaigner being denied his right to free speech. As well as Canada,
Zundel has in the past lived in the U.S. state of Tennessee.

Italian Police Launch Massive Raid On National Socialist Dissidents
47 Homes Raided In Crackdown On Political Opposition
Milan, Italy -- Italian police raided the homes of 47 peaceful political dissidents this morning, making no arrests but confiscating political literature critical of the Italian state.
Members of the National Socialist Movement of Workers, a group active in Milan, Varese, Como and Lecco, were targeted by Italian authorities for the crime of distributing literature criticizing the Italian political system and the influence of Jews over the Italian government. In most of Europe, it is illegal to discuss or criticize Jews and illegal to criticize or suggest a change in the political systems that Jews have imposed on Europe's white population.
The National Socialist Movement of Workers is reported to seek a political system in Italy resembling that of the German Third Reich.

World’s Non-Whites Demand Even More Money from Whites
The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a non-binding declaration on the rights of “indigenous peoples” (i.e. non-Whites) after 22 years of debate.
The document proposes protections for the “human rights of native peoples,” and for their land and resources. It passed despite opposition from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. They said it was incompatible with their own laws.
The Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples calls on countries to give more control to tribal peoples over the land and resources they traditionally possessed, and to return confiscated territory, or pay compensation.
The General Assembly passed it, with 143 countries voting in favor and 11 abstaining. Four nations - Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States - each with large “indigenous populations,” voted against.
Australia said it could not allow tribes' customary law to be given precedence over national law. "There should only be one law for all Australians and we should not enshrine in law practices that are not acceptable in the modern world," said Indigenous Affairs Minister Mal Brough.
A leader of a group representing Canada's native communities criticised his government's decision to oppose the declaration. "We're very disappointed... It's about the human rights of indigenous peoples throughout the world. It's an important symbol," said Phil Fontaine, leader of the Assembly of First Nations.
Campaign group Survival International says Canada's Innu tribe, who live in the frozen Labrador-Quebec peninsula, are struggling to maintain their traditional lifestyle as the government allows mining concessions, hydro-electric power schemes, and roads on their land.
The Canadian government said it supported the "spirit" of the declaration, but could not support it because it "contains provisions that are fundamentally incompatible with Canada's constitutional framework."
"It also does not recognise Canada's need to balance indigenous rights to lands and resources with the rights of others," a joint statement from the Canadian ministries of Indian and Foreign Affairs said. Canada has 1.3 million indigenous people, among a total population of 32.7 million.

Pornography Outlawed for Australian Aborigines
As of today, anyone caught in an Aboriginal community in the Northern Territories of Australia with pornographic DVDs or magazines faces fines of up to A$11,000 (US $9,200). This forms part of an attempt by the White government to stop the rampant child sex abuse in the non-White community.
People in possession of five or more prohibited items will be automatically deemed traffickers and face up to two years imprisonment.
Ironically, Aboriginal women have singled out SBS television – Australia’s foremost promoter of ‘multi-culturalism’ as one of the main distributors of pornography in the Northern Territory.
The bans form part of the second phase of the federal government's intervention in the NT but critics claim they don't target problem areas and will be easily undermined. "Foxtel R rated channel is still by far the major source of porn going into communities and unfortunately the federal government hasn't turned that stream off yet," said Robbie Swan from the Eros Foundation, an adult entertainment industry lobby group.
Swan said only 15 to 25 per cent of pornographic material viewed in remote Aboriginal communities came in the form of a DVD or magazine, while the rest was sourced through pay or commercial television.
He said there as "plenty of evidence" to suggest that Foxtel representatives were promoting the channel in Aboriginal communities, despite the government's intervention.

Europe's first Islamic Political Party Formed in Finland
More Whites gone mad -- Europe's first Islamic political party has formed in Finland -- with a White Finn as its chairman and Whites making up the majority of its members.
The Finnish Islamic Party plans to collect 5,000 signatures in order to qualify for official registration by the end of the year. Counting on support from the 55,000 Muslims living in Finland, the party anticipates some success in next year's municipal elections as well as in the 2011 parliamentary elections.
The party’s chairman, Abdullah Tammi said the party supports a ban on alcohol sales, the option for Muslim children to be excused from school music classes and outings to swimming pools, legal status for ritual animal killing and male circumcision, and the eventual introduction of shari'a law in Finland. Tammi added that the purpose of Sharia law was to prevent crime.

Negro Gang Violence Spreading in North Carolina
The party in Salisbury, N.C., ended when a group of teenage Negroes shouted the name of their gang over the sound system: “Westside!” Across the dance floor another clutch of Negroes responded in kind: “Eastside!”
As more than 200 partygoers emptied into the parking lot that March night, an argument between the two gangs devolved into a shoot-out. The police arrived to find the crumpled body of a 13-year-old girl, Treasure Feamster, an innocent bystander.
The killing there, 35 miles from Charlotte, has helped rally support in North Carolina for a Los Angeles-style crackdown on gangs.
At least 36 states have passed hard-line laws similar to those pioneered in the 1990s by Los Angeles, and enacted statewide in California. The laws prohibit public gatherings of two or more people suspected of being gang members; establish databases to track gang members; deploy broad sweeps of suspects; and lengthen prison sentences for gang-related crimes.
But even as lawmakers in Raleigh have worked to create a similar gang law, doubts have been raised across the country about the value of the approach.
A growing number of law enforcement officials, including some in Los Angeles, suggest that such aggressive suppression tactics may worsen some gang problems by alienating “whole groups of people” (i.e. non-Whites) from the police and stocking prisons with thousands of young people, many of whom are transformed into hardened gang members while incarcerated.
“L.A. has this approach of being tough on crime,” said Craig Watkins, the district attorney in Dallas, where some Los Angeles-style tactics are being rolled back. “But the result of that is overflowing prisons, high crime rates and increasing numbers of gang members. Now we want to be smart on crime.”
Large-scale arrests have been a key component of Los Angeles’s antigang approach for more than 30 years, said Constance L. Rice, director of the Advancement Project, a liberal group founded by civil rights lawyers that focuses on racial justice issues. Over the last decade, the authorities throughout Los Angeles County have arrested more than 450,000 juveniles, Rice said, while gang membership doubled.
Earl C. Paysinger, an assistant police chief and operations director for the Los Angeles Police Department, said the department’s “assertive gang suppression” was appropriate for gang members “whose sole purpose is to wreak havoc on the community.”

Manfred Roeder Arrested in Britain – To be Deported
German dissident and freedom-fighter Manfred Roeder was arrested upon his arrival at Heathrow Airport, Britain, on Monday morning. Although he has committed no offense and is not charged with anything, he was seized under the so-called Prevention of Terrorism Act and will be placed on the first plane back to Germany.
As one of the youngest soldiers in the regular army, Herr Roeder took part in the fighting for the defence of Berlin in 1945. In 1980, some members of the Deutschen Aktionsgruppen ("German Action Groups"), an organization founded by Herr Roeder, attacked buildings housing non-White asylum invaders. Although he himself never took part in these attacks, Herr Roeder was classified as a terrorist by German legal authorities and sentenced to 13 years imprisonment. He was released in 1990, after serving two-thirds of his sentence, for good behavior and “social rehabilitation.”
In 1997, a TV show revealed that in 1995, Herr Roeder had appeared, by invitation, as a speaker at the German military's officer training academy in Hamburg. This scandal, as well as the fact that Roeder had received financial donations from the military, led to the sacking of the academy's commander and the instatement of Counter-Admiral Rudolf Lange as his replacement, with the goal of restoring the good reputation of the academy.
In 1996, Herr Roeder, together with other German nationalists, attacked an exhibition in Erfurt detailing the role of the Wehrmacht in Nazi Germany, for which he was charged with property damage and fined DM-4,500. After being sentenced to prison by the state courts of Schwerin and Rostock under Germany's Volksverhetzung law (incitement to hatred), and for other crimes, he was given a further ten months in September 2004 by the state court of Frankfurt for contempt of the state.
In 1997, Herr Roeder stood as the NPD candidate for Stralsund in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern during the parliamentary elections.
