          Canadian Reflections on the Zundel and Irving Cases

                              Doug Collins


___________________________________________________________________________

   On August 27, Canada's Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the
law under which German-Canadian publisher Ernst Zundel was convicted for
publishing a Revisionist booklet about the Holocaust.  In a four-three
decision, the judges ruled that the "false news" law under which he was
convicted violates the freedom-of-speech provisions of Canada's Charter of
Rights, and is thus unconstitutional.  (For more on this, see the October
1992 _IHR Newsletter_.)

              The Zundel Affair: A National Legal Disgrace


  "What sort of truth is it that needs protection?"
                                                   --Auberon Waugh


   Pardon me if I glow a little, but it's nice to have been right in the
Ernst Zundel affair.  I refer to the Supreme Court of Canada decision that
ditched a stupid and dangerous law.

   The court cast a blow for freedom and delivered a bang in the snout to
the Jewish groups that set this "false news" nonsense going; also to the
politicians who bowed to their demands in laying charges.

   Few come out of this miserable affair with credit.  Not a single MP
questioned the matter in Parliament, and I saw only two token editorials
that took issue with the wisdom of prosecuting the man.  One was in the
_Toronto Star_, the other in the [Toronto] _Globe and Mail_.  And as I told
you in 1988, Jewish pressure achieved a virtual news blackout on what was
being said in court in the second trial.

   The whole affair bordered on farce, Zundel's "crime" having been that he
distributed a pamphlet called _Did Six Million Really Die?_  He didn't even
write the thing.  But in jumped complainant Sabina Citron of the Holocaust
Remembrance Society, and we were off on the false news farrago.

   That was in 1984, an appropriate year, and Zundel was to go through
seven courts.  His lawyer, Doug Christie, estimated that the cost to the
public purse has been at least $5 million.  In 1985, I gave evidence for
the defense because to me it seemed absurd that anyone could be hauled into
court for such ridiculous reasons.

   The "spreading false news" law should never have been dragged out of the
historical gunnysack.  It was pure politics.  False news?  Santa Claus
speaks false news, I told the court.  So does the weatherman.  Today and
every day, politicians spread false news.  So do the media and academe.
Heck, I have even spread some false news myself.  Nobody's perfect.

   Still, I am proud to have spoken for common sense in one of the most
disgraceful prosecutions in Canadian legal history.  But where were all
those yackety-yack members of the freedom-loving media gang when they were
needed?  I shouldn't ask.  These days it is much easier to bash the Pope
than to oppose the most powerful pressure group in the country.

   The man who comes out of this with the greatest credit is Mr. Christie,
who never gave up even in the face of vilification.  It takes guts to keep
going for years in an unpopular issue of this sort.  Most lawyers would
have withdrawn.  He mounted effective challenges and even dared to tell the
Ontario Court of Appeal that the judge in the first trial was biased.  As I
wrote at the time, Judge Hugh Locke's attitude to Christie reminded me of
Capt. Bligh bawling at Fletcher Christian in the "Mutiny on the Bounty"
movie.

   But the lawyer had the last laugh when the appeal cout accepted his
submission that the judge had been wrong on 16 points of law.  Hence the
second trial.

   Political correctness having saturated so much of our society, I doubted
that the Supreme Court would rule in Zundel's favor, and in fact the
decision turned on one vote.

   However, a speech given by Mr. Justice John Sopinka last April provided
a straw in the wind.  "Certain segments of society who are justifiably
seeking equality for their particular interests have extended their demands
so far that they threaten the freedom of others," he said.  "They not only
criticize the expression of views that do not accord with their own, but
demand that contrary views be suppressed."

   If freedom of speech has received a bit of a fillip we owe it not to
Canadian liberals but to a German who salutes the late Adolf Hitler.  A pox
on Hitler.  But supporting tyrants, fools and saints--and spreading false
news--is what freedom of speech is all about.

   Let us remember, too, that there are plenty of people who made a
profession of spreading false news on Joe Stalin's behalf.  Did anyone
chase them into court for denying that there was a holocaust in the
Ukraine?

   Jewish organizations are now demanding that Zundel be charged under the
hate laws.  But the reason he was charged for "false news" was that he
couldn't be got under the hate laws.  And what about the Anglo-Saxon rule
of double jeopardy under which a person must not be tried twice for the
same crime?

   Eight years of prosecution-persecution aren't enough for some people.
Hatred is not confined.


                         Something to Remember

This being Remembrance Day [in Canada], let's remember that whereas Nazi
Germany was a fully fledged police state, Canada is in danger of becoming a
partly fledged police state.  What else can be said when a "controversial
author" to whom Jewish groups object is barred from the country?

   What else can be said when eight armed policemen descend on a private
meeting, slap handcuffs on the speaker and haul him off to jail, informing
the audience that the place is surrounded and that they should stay where
they are?  Were the cops after Jesse James?  Had Clifford Olson escaped
from prison?

   No, the target was a writer who says that something didn't happen.  Or
that if it did happen, it has been grossly exaggerated.  Like the
Holocaust.

   And what else can be said when most of the media not only accept all
this but join in the witch hunt?

   I refer to the David Irving affair.

   Typical was the reaction of a blockhead editorialist on the Vancouver
_Province_ who wrote that the incident was nothing more than an immigration
matter.  And good riddance, Mr. Irving.  He also wrote that no country in
the world has more freedom of speech than Canada.

   Somebody must have been smoking something.  From start to finish, the
Irving affair was politics in which the theme was set by Jewish
organizations who insist that their version of history is the only one, and
you question it at your peril.

   It started with a demand that Irving be barred from the country.  Then,
when he attempts to obey an immigration department order to leave the
country, he is denied entry to the United States.  Why?  My guess is that
the Canadian Jewish Congress asked the ever more powerful American Jewish
Congress for a spot of help.

   For Irving had been in the US dozens of times without giving any trouble
or getting any.  But this time it was claimed he didn't have the right kind
of visa.  So thanks to a little hands-across-the-border work, Irving could
not leave Canada and was in the slammer again.  That way, he was liable to
being officially deported, which would mean that he could never return.

   Consider now what has happened elsewhere on the Canadian immigration
front where undesirables are concerned--if indeed there are any
undesirables apart from controversial authors.

   Remember Menachem Begin, the Jewish terrorist?  He must have been a
DESIRABLE undesirable because he often visited Canada on fundraising tours.
Wanna visa, Menachem?  No problem.  Yet Begin had been leader of the
murderous Irgun Zvai Leumi gang.  Among his more notable exploits was the
1948 Deir Yassin massacre of 254 Arab women, children and old men.  Plus
the blowing up of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem, complete with
occupants.

   Remember Nelson Mandela?  In the 1960s his plan was to blow up half of
Johannesburg.  Released from jail, he gets to Ottowa, is cheered by
Parliament and is given $5 million (US) for his splendid cause by a
groveling Mulroney.  Your money of course.

   Liars, crooks, thugs and killers pour into this country by the
planeload, and have been doing so for years.  Only a couple of weeks ago
the CBC [television] program, _The Fifth Estate_, did a copper-bottomed
hour on the murderers and thugs from Somalia who are now enjoying Canadian
hospitality.

   What came through with depressing clarity was that the immigration
department just wasn't interested in tossing those people out.  You think
we are racists or something?  No eight-armed policemen descending on supper
tables for them!

   Confronted with the facts, Minister of Immigration Bernard Valcourt
looked like a complete idiot.

   Against all that, we see Dangerous David ordered out of the country
double-quick.  Great stuff, Bernard.  And by the way, did you find a load
of dynamite in his suitcase?

   Irving's views should be a matter for discussion, not Keystone cops
chases.  For the record, I too do not believe in the six million story
(which is not to say that dreadful things did not happen).  And I disagree
with Irving on quite a lot, especially his hostile view of Churchill and
his less-than-hostile view of Hitler.

   But what cannot be denied is that he is an outstanding writer and
researcher.  When the "Hitler diaries" were produced, he denounced them as
fakes even though they had been pronounced genuine by Nazi-period expert
Hugh Trevor-Roper, Regius Professor of History at Oxford University.  And
Irving was right.

(1990), in Washington, DC."]

   More recently, the _Sunday Times_ hired him to decipher and translate
the Goebbels' Diaries.  Before that he had discovered the Eichmann papers.
And his books on the Nazi leaders are masterpieces of digging.  So isn't
there just a teeny-weeny possibility that he's right about the six million?

   Whether he's right or wrong, Canada is engaging in the equivalent of
book-burning.  In Hades, Dr. Goebbels must be having quite a laugh.
Something to remember on Remembrance Day.

                         The Wages of Apostasy:
                            LIFE UNDER FIRE

                              David Irving

        (Presented at the Eleventh IHR Conference, October 1992)


Thank you, United States, for letting me come and speak.  I mean that
seriously because the fight is now getting quite creepy.  For two years
now, in country after country, I have been conducting this international
Campaign for Real History.  During this period, in country after country,
I've come up against an international campaign AGAINST real history--an
international campaign full of lies, an international campaign to suppress
the truth.  The truth of this campaign is quite clearly something that I
had previously not wanted to believe: there is, in fact, an international
force out there with an influence that transcends frontiers.  Day after
day, country after country, month after month, I come up against this
international force.

   In my apartment in London, I've accordingly opened a file titled "Jewish
Harassment."  this should not be taken to mean, in the slightest, that I am
anti-Jewish, because I'm not.  The fact that many Jews are anti-Irving does
not mean to say that I am anti-Jewish.  There's no paradox in that
statement.  Week after week, month after month, they are causing me immense
harassment, embarrassment and distress.  But journalists come to me, again
and again, and ask me: "Mr. Irving, are you anti-Semitic?"  And I reply,
"Not yet."

   For two years now, I have been the target of this worldwide campaign--in
Germany, France, Spain, South Africa, the United States, Canada, Argentina,
Brazil, and England.  Let me tell you a little about what has been
happening in some of these countries.

   In Germany, I'm now technically a prohibited person.  I can't go there
because the German authorities have ordained that David Irving shall no
longer cross their frontier.  A free democracy, and yet that's the only way
they can fight against me: by forbidding me to come in.  That edict was
issued in March 1990.  But since then, I've been in and out of Germany 60
times.  I'm not going to tell you how I've done it--but there are ways of
doing it.

   In Austria, there's an arrest warrant out against me, but no entry
prohibition (whereas in Germany there's the entry prohibition but no arrest
warrant).  So between the two of them you can find a way of getting in.  As
I said to the Germans the last time I spoke to a mass meeting of 7,000
people in Passau: there are enough people here in plain clothes taking
notes for the Ministry of the Interior, and tonight they'll be asked: how
did he get in again?  To this I can only say: "Go ask your colleagues in
Austria how David Irving got in this time."


Banned in South Africa

   Besides Germany and Austria, officially I am not permitted to get into
Italy or South Africa.  Last January and February, I spoke for two months
in South Africa, this time visiting 15 towns and cities.  Two weeks after I
returned to England, a letter arrived from the South African government in
Pretoria.  It told me: "Mr. Irving, as an Englishman you normally do not
require a visa to enter South African territories.  For you we are going to
make an exception."  I reported this ban to the South African newspapers,
which discovered in a matter of days that this unique embargo was being
placed on me by the South African Jewish organizations.  This was followed
by an outcry by other South Africans who wanted to hear me on radio and
television, and in person.  It was another encroachment on freedom of
speech.

   Of course, I am able to come and speak here in the United States because
you have something very important, your First Amendment guaranteeing
freedom of speech.  It is very unlikely, I think, that the United States
government would actually stoop to trying to prevent me from coming here to
speak.  It would be a very, very serious day indeed if that should happen.

   In Canada, I have a big speaking tour lined up that is due to start on
October the 26th.  Yesterday, here in this very hotel [in Irvine,
California], I was handed an express letter from the Canadian government
informing me that I would not be allowed to enter Canada.  Once again,
pressure has been exerted by these international groups to keep me from
speaking.  In this case it was the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles,
but the reason given me was this: "Mr. Irving, under the immigration act, a
person is not permitted to enter if he has committed a criminal offense in
another country, or if he is likely to commit a criminal offense in Canada.
We may consider you likely to commit a criminal offense."

   After receiving this, I straight away instructed my attorney in Canada
to point out that I've been to Canada some 30 times since 1965, and not
once have I committed a criminal offense.  So, PRIMA FACIE, I am unlikely
to commit a criminal offense on the 31st occasion.  [On October 26, Irving
legally entered Canada.  He was illegally arrested--after lecturing on
freedom of speech--at Victoria, B.C., and deported on November 13 after a
three week court battle.  He is appealing.]


Detention in Rome

   In June of this year, I went to Italy.  I arrived in Rome, after a stop
in Munich, from Moscow, where I had been working for two weeks in the
former Soviet government's secret state archives.  As I got off the plane
in Rome, six Carabinieri police cars were waiting for me at the airfield,
and as I got into the airport bus, the police stormed the bus, rifles
drawn, and called out my name, "Mr. Irving."  Ladies and gentlemen, now
that's EMBARRASSING!  Under the circumstances, I tried to make it look as
if this was my VIP escort!

   They held me there in the police station at Rome's airport for four
hours until the plane turned round and flew back to Munich.  And half way
through, they let in the Italian student who had arrived to meet me there.
(I had been invited by a university professor.)

   During the police interrogation, I "hadn't understood" a word of
Italian, and I made them speak English to me.  But when the students came
in, I spoke with them in Italian, explaining how sorry I was.  Seeing this,
the police colonel became very indignant and said: "SILENZIO, Don't Speak."
So I said, "Where does it say that I can't speak?"  He repeated: "Silenzio,
Don't-a speaka."  And I repeated: "Excuse me, but nowhere do I see a sign
that says Silenzio."  At that, he seized a thick felt-tip pen, and in a
blind, Italian temper he went to the magnificently painted wall inside this
beautiful, brand new police station, saying "You can't-a see-a?  Here!,"
and wrote the letters S I L E N Z I O on the wall, and then shouted:
"SILENZIO!"

   Last October [1991], I spoke in Argentina.  On the morning of the first
day, I took part in a two-hour television program.  (I also speak Spanish.)
I was on with a man named Maurizio Maro, but whose real name turned out to
be Goldfarb.  If only they had told me beforehand!  But too late.

   Goldfarb asked me questions like: "But Adolf Hitler, he was crazy wasn't
he?"  And I said: "No, he wasn't."  "But of course he was crazy," he
retorted.  I responded by saying:

      There's no evidence for that at all.  The evidence is that we--the
   British and Americans--captured seven of Hitler's doctors.  We
   interrogated all seven of them on that specific point: Hitler's own
   physicians were asked if they considered him clinically sane or out of
   his mind.  All of them came to the conclusion that, even until the very
   last moments of his life, he was totally sane.  And not only that, I
   have personally found Hitler's medical diaries--the diaries kept by his
   doctor, Theodor Morrell, which I found in the archives in Washington,
   DC.  After transcribing them, I published them.  These diaries also
   confirm, without a doubt at all, that Hitler was perfectly sane and
   physically normal.

   Now considerably agitated, Goldfarb responded: "But the man must be
totally crazy because he killed forty million human beings."  The first
time he threw out this figure, I let it pass, but the second time round, I
stopped him, saying: "Forty million?  Excuse me, where does THIS figure
come from then?"  Goldfarb then said: "A person who kills even one man is a
criminal."  In this case, then, I said, President Bush is a major criminal
because of the damage he did in the Gulf War this very February.

   At this point, the interview was dramatically cut short.  And the very
next day, all the other interviews that had been lined up by my publisher
in Argentina were cancelled.  Newspaper and television interviews, and a
Belgrano University appearance--all were cancelled.  It was an object
lesson on the influence that certain people have.  The day after that
(October 18, 1991), a major daily newspaper, _La Nacion_, published a
communique issued by Argentina's Jewish governing agency, with a headline
calling me an "International Agitator."  Well, I'm sorry that the Jews get
so easily agitated.  But it's not my fault.  My job is to go there and
lecture on the historical truth as I see it.


The Right to be Wrong

   I admit that we may be wrong.  Each of us in this room may be wrong on
this or that matter.  But I demand the Right to be Wrong!  That is the
essence of freedom of speech in any country.

   No one is going to define for us what the received version of history is
or should be.  But that is what they are trying to do now in Germany, and
all around the world.

   Every other aspect of world history is open to debate and dispute--
except one.  Anyone who challenges this one aspect of history is
automatically, IPSO FACTO, described as an anti-Semite.  Jewish leaders are
now saying that anyone who questions any aspect of the Holocaust is an
anti-Semite.  Of course, that's not true.  We are just lovers of the truth,
and determined to get to the bottom of what actually did and did not
happen.

   I do not insist that what I tell you here is necessarily the only
version of the truth, and that thou shalt have no other truth than this.
I'm not as arrogant as that.  I do say that this is the best that I can do,
given limited resources, and against the harassment that I've come up
against in the last few years.

   That harassment has gotten worse and worse, particularly with the recent
Focal Point publication of the new edition of _Hitler's War_.  This new
edition contains material never seen before.  If you want to see a
photograph showing what it looks like when 17,500 people are killed in 30
minutes, here it is.  Everyone's heard about Hiroshima and Dresden, but no
one knows about what happened in Pforzheim, a small German town in
Baden-Wurttemberg, where one person in four was killed in the most horrible
manner in mid-February 1945.  We have photos of that crime.  I've shown
this photograph to audience after audience.

   On the previous page of _Hitler's War_ are the well-known photographs of
Dresden, where a hundred thousand people were killed in a period of twelve
hours by the British and Americans.  So many were killed so quickly that
there weren't enough living left to bury the dead.  So the corpses had to
be burned on these huge funeral pyres in the Dresden Altmarkt.  I published
the photographs in 1963 in my first book, _The Destruction of Dresden_ and,
now, in _Hitler's War_, I publish them for the first time in color.


Window Smashing

   There are 60 color photographs in this book, a work that no other
publisher could have published so lavishly.  Of course, our traditional
enemies are absolutely livid because of this book, which is very
sought-after in Britain.  We published it ourselves, and personally
delivered 5,000 copies to 800 book shops up and down the country and around
the world.

   Our traditional enemies have been fighting back.  Their local cells,
branches and agents have been visiting--patiently and methodically, one by
one--every book shop that stocked this book, demanding that it be
"unstocked."  Because most book shop managers are not open to intimidation
in the way newspapers are, they get their windows smashed.  As result,
there's been a campaign of window smashing throughout Britain during the
last three or four months.

   During the night, the big plate-glass windows of the book stores are
smashed, and the next morning the stores receive a letter on letterhead of
the local synagogue, or the local Jewish Board of Deputies.  The letters
say "we are very sorry that your windows were smashed, but what can you
expect?  We promise that if you stop stocking David Irving's books, you
will find that this kind of problem ceases."

   This campaign--smashing the windows of book stores, big and small,
including chain book stores in Britain such as Waterstone's and Dillon's--
has been reported in all the local newspapers.  I subscribe to a press
clipping service, so I get all these clippings.  But there's been nothing
in the British national newspapers.

   And why not?  Well, the answer is that these are a different caliber of
journalists.  I've often wondered where these journalists come from, these
spineless, nasty little creeps such as Bernard Levin of _The Times_ of
London.

   I am philosophical about newspapers.  I remember one Monday morning ten
years ago when my secretary came tome, saying: "David, how can you stand
for it?  Have you read what they've written about you yesterday in the
_Sunday Times_?  It's only a short thing, but you now might as well pack
up.  You're finished."  He read from the article: "David Irving, who
appears substantially to have over-estimated his mental stability this time
. . ."  "They're calling you mad!"


Recycled Lies

   I responded by saying, "Okay, so what?  Are they going to assign me to
some kind of psychiatric gulag archipelago?  That's from the _Sunday
Times_, and this is Monday."  That's the difference between being an author
and being a journalist.  When I write a book it goes into a library and
stays there--especially if it's on acid-free paper.  What a journalist
writes for the _Sunday Times_ appears on Sunday, but by Monday it's
wrapping fish 'n chips!  So, who cares?  Or if it's not wrapping fish 'n
chips, the paper's being recycled to be made into new newsprint for new
lies.

   One South African journalist wrote to me during the height of my South
African tour in March 1992.  I was speaking at meeting after meeting,
addressing packed halls.  In Pretoria, as usual, 2,000 people came to hear
me.  In Cape Town, another huge audience turned out to hear me at the
Goodwood Civic Centre.  The next day, I received a fax letter from a _Cape
Times_ journalist named Claire Bisseker who earlier had bombarded me with
questions about what I thought about President de Klerk, the prospects for
South Africa, the ANC, and all the rest of it.  This time her letter was
quite brief:

      Mr. Irving, the _Cape Times_ would like to have your response to the
   following allegations made by a Capetonian who attended your meeting at
   Goodwood [Centre] on March 8.  The source said that the meeting was of a
   neo-Nazi nature.  Complete with Nazi banners and Nazi salutes.  We would
   appreciate it very much if you could fax back to us your response as
   soon as you are able.

   So I turned this over in my mind.  "Remember," I told myself, "you're
dealing with a journalist--a journalist who will twist whatever you say.
If I say that I have no comment, they will print the lies and say that Mr.
Irving had no comment.  If I deny it, they will print the lies and say that
Irving denied it.  They will print the lies whatever you do."  So after
some thought, I sent this brief letter to Claire Bisseker:

   Dear Clair,
      Thank you for your fax, and I appreciate your inquiry.  Yes, you do
   have excellent sources.  Neo-Nazi nature, Nazi banners, and Nazi
   salutes--the lot.  As I marched in, an orchestra struck up the Slaves'
   Chorus from Verdi's opera, "Aida."  Later, the orchestra played the
   first bars of Franz Liszt's "Les Preludes," and it concluded with
   Liszt's Opus 63 String Quartet.  Meanwhile, searchlight batteries
   stationed around the Goodwood Civic Centre lit up, their crystal beams
   joining in a cathedral of ice ten thousand feet above the site; a
   thousand hands were once more flung aloft in the holy salute, and a
   thousand throats roared the Horst Wessel anthem.  A video is available,
   directed by Leni Riefenstahl.
      I hope the above material suffices for what you have in mind.

   That's the way to deal with journalists!  I have developed my own
techniques in dealing with them.
