Previous Politech messgae: http://www.politechbot.com/p-04443.html --- Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2003 19:31:29 -0800 From: Ingrid Rimland <irimlandat_private> Subject: //Free Ernst Zundel// Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" To all - I'll make this brief. Ernst called me today from Canada at noon, very briefly, and told me that he was in Canada and had asked for political asylum. He asked me to call some friends to bring him some money since he was not allowed to have anything with him when he was arrested, and I was not allowed to see him while he was in detension here, except once, as you all know. He stayed in the Batavia Detention Center briefly, but how he got across the border - if he was taken, or if he was allowed to go by himself, I do not know. He is now in detention again, in a small town closer to Toronto, and I have been told by a mainstream reporter who is rather fold of Ernst that the Jews want to charge him all over again - chances are, for MY website, the very website they couldn't shut down for five years! Are they now going to hold my husband as ransom in exchange for my Zundelsite? This is an American website. The Canadian Holocaust Lobby has no business messing with America's free speech, after they have so shamefully forced censorship laws onto Canadians - and then, to add insult to injury, asked the Canadian taxpayers to foot the bill to boot. I have no idea where this is going to end. I am talking to some important people and will fill you in when the time is right. I have always wondered if our enemies would take the risk of deporting Ernst to Germany, what with the pending Spiegel trial. If they do that, I believe that in Germany something will give. Too many people are informed. I know of at least two planned demonstrations before American Embassies. Meanwhile, somebody shot out a big window in one of our buildings where we planned to hold our first art exhibit and community meeting, and damaged a second pane. I called the police who took a report and promised they would patrol our area. I am angry but calm. Believe me I am calm. The Canadian media went wild again, as they always do when they think they smell prey. I stuck to my guns and told them I no longer would cooperate with hostile media. Mark Weber of the Institute for Historical Reviews fielded most calls. Here is his report: [START] Dear Ingrid, Thanks for your patience today, in spite of the turmoil. What a day this has been for Ernst and you! To re-confirm what I told about my activities for Ernst: A television crew based in Los Angeles visited our office this afternoon to conduct two interviews with me for broadcast on Canada's CTV network. The first, conducted by Matt Cowan, is to be aired tonight on the 11:00 p.m. CTV news. The second, conducted (by someone named Seamus?), was handled by speakerphone, but video-recorded, and is to air tomorrow morning on "Canada a.m." These two interviews went well, I think. Today I also conducted interviews with Mary Vallis of the National Post, Tom Godfrey of the Toronto Sun, and Antony Steward (of CBC radio?). Mark [END] I am tentatively planning a press conference for Friday. We will not be intimidated. We know that we have truth on our side. Ingrid P.S. Four people on this list were trying to be helpful with bond and told me that they were on standby. One of these angels contacted me and told me that he needed to replace a check. I expected bond and cashed the first check. Please advise what to do with the second. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
