(video) Paul Fromm w/ Jim Rizoli: Ernst Zundel Remembered — Includes why the US deported Ernst & the false charge Canada used to imprison him in 2003

The first half of this video covers the late, great Ernst Zundel, freedom fighter, truther par excellence!

At 22:20, I finally find out why Ernst Zundel was deported from the USA. Paul says that all of the meetings with immigration had gone well, but immigration requested one more ‘minor’ interview. Ernst’s lawyer had a scheduling conflict, so his lawyer faxed them, attempting to reschedule. Instead of rescheduling (perhaps Ernst’s lawyer missed their reply, or the powers that shouldn’t be were looking for any excuse…), immigration raided the Zundels’ home, took Ernst away in handcuffs, and sent him to Canada, who imprisoned Ernst for two years in solitary confinement, making the absurd claim that he was a threat to national security, because of guilt by association, discussed at 14:05:

Ernst attended a few William Pierce lectures in the late ’70s. Pierce wrote a book that Timothy McVeigh read, and since McVeigh supposedly blew up the Murrah Building, Ernst was imprisoned for being a threat to national security. [This is completely bogus, including the fact that McVeigh’s fertilizer bomb was proven by General Partin to not have been the bomb destroyed the building.]

Wickedpedia claims:

On May 2, 2003, Canadian Citizenship and Immigration Minister Denis Coderre and Solicitor General Wayne Easter issued a “national security certificate” against Zündel under the provisions of the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, indicating that he was a threat to Canada’s national security owing to his alleged links with violent neo-Nazi groups, including Aryan Nations leader Richard Girnt Butler, neo-Nazi Christian Worch, and former Canadian Aryan Nations leader Terry Long, as well as Ewald Althans, convicted in a German court in 1995 of charges that included insulting the memory of the dead and insulting the state.

Zündel moved twice to have Canadian Federal Court justice Pierre Blais recuse himself from the case for “badgering and accusing the witness of lying” and exhibiting “open hostility” towards Zündel, and filed two constitutional challenges, one in the Ontario courts and one in the federal courts, both unsuccessful.
