respected head of his own engineering firm was dismissed from his post. He had circulated privately what has since been
published as the Lьftl Report in which he questions the Gassing story on technical grounds.
Imre Finta
Victimized by the media and financially totally ruined by civil law suits mismanaged by his first lawyers.
Criminally charged and prosecuted as a "war criminal" in Canada.
Background and contribution:
A retired Hungarian police captain, Finta was accused by Sabina Citron and others for allegedly persecuting
Jews in Hungary during the war. After lengthy legal battles, he was ultimately acquitted by unanimous jury
verdict when Ernst Zьndel's attorneys, Doug Christie and Barbara Kulaszka, took over his defense and won his victory in
court. The jurors obviously did not believe the many Israeli and Jewish eye-witnesses!
Otto Ernst Remer
Tried and convicted to more than one year imprisonment, even though he was over 80 years old and in ill
health.
Background and contribution:
A German war hero who successfully thwarted the military putsch by German traitors against Hitler in
Berlin on 20 July 1944, Remer seized the political opportunity brought about by the revelations of the
Leuchter Report. He made the findings known to millions of people by privately publishing "Die Remer Depesche", a mass
circulation tabloid style newspaper. The German vassal regime came down hard on the old soldier. He was tried and convicted
to prison. He went into exile in Spain, wheelchair-bound, where he died. His widow now has to fight for her pension. She
refuses to return his ashes to Germany until such time when her husband's remains can be returned under honorable
circumstances.
Jerome Brentar
His reputation tarnished and his company boycotted, Brentar lost his livelihood for saving a man from the
noose.
Background and contribution:
This Croation-American trained social worker and Christian activist has helped every falsely accused "war
criminal" – from Frank Walus to Dr. Arthur Rudolf to Mr. Bartesch. He was of immense help to John
Demjanjuk. Due to the tireless work of this saintly man, Walus and Demjanjuk won their cases in the end. Brentar spent almost
$500,000 of his own funds to help pay for the lawyers' fees, translators, flights, hotel accommodations, meals, and witness
fees. He lost his once thriving Travel Agency because of the vicious publicity engendered, and now lives at the edge of
poverty in forced retirement on his social security pension. Zьndel researcher, advisor and witness in the 1985 Great
Holocaust Trial.
John Demjanjuk
Extradited, charged, tried, convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. Spent many years in prison.
Background and contribution:
Demjanjuk was a Ukrainian autoworker and former camp guard whose grotesque case saw him extradited to Israel from the
USA for trial. Convicted to death by hanging, but ultimately released by the Israeli Supreme Court, who obviously did not
believe what must have been the perjured or false testimony of Israeli eye-witnesses, Demjanjuk was saved from the noose
because Jerry Brentar worked day and night to search and find exonerating documents, eye witnesses and handwriting
experts to save Demjanjuk's life. America has returned his passport and must pay him his pension for all the years of his
imprisonment. Hopefully, part of that money will go Jerry Brentar to recover his outlays.
Germar Rudolf
Accused, tried and convicted in Germany. Career and doctorate dissertation ruined. Driven into exile.
Background and contribution:
This brilliant, German-trained chemist re-examined Auschwitz, Birkenau and other installations and
buildings, testing rocks, soil and other physical samples for traces of Zyklon B. Following the pioneering
work of Fred Leuchter, he put the final nail into the coffin of the Auschwitz story. Even though he did
scientific work and was utterly apolitical, Rudolf's home and office were raided, computers seized etc. He was charged and
tried in Germany for not believing in the standard Auschwitz story. As a scientist, he found the "gassing" claims to be
scientifically untenable and, therefore, absurd. A modern day Galileo, Rudolf was found guilty and convicted because he
refused to renounce scientific facts and his own scientific tests and findings. He was facing jail when he went into exile with
his young wife and two babies. He now edits and publishes devastating refutations of the Allied Propaganda claims in a
German-language journal. The Holocaust Enforcers are dogging his steps, and he faces endless hassles and trials, should the
"German" vassal authorities ever get a hold of him. Zьndel expert witness in chemistry in the Munich trial in 1991 – disallowed
by the judge at the request of the prosecution.
Attorney Jьrgen Rieger
Attacked and beaten. Car blown up. Professional reputation and career ruined.
Background and contribution:
Long-time Zьndel attorney in Germany, Rieger has been a defender of German patriots since his law
school days. He has drawn the ire of the Holocaust Enforcers by winning the 1981 Zьndel case in
Stuttgart against the false claim that Zьndel had published "hate literature", and winning several cases
against the German vassal regime who had confiscated Zьndel's postal bank account, unfreezing DM 30,000 in the process.
He also managed to regain for Zьndel his confiscated German passport after a six-year legal battle. Rieger was attacked and
beaten unconscious in broad daylight after leaving a Hamburg courthouse and had to be airlifted, near death, by helicopter to
the trauma unit of the hospital of Hamburg University, where he lay unconscious for days. The assailants escaped after their
assassination attempt. German police later caught one Turkish "guest worker" who was tried – and let go! The other culprits
were never found.
Attorney Doug Christie
Targeted professionally on numerous occasions with spurious charges of
"unprofessional conduct" lodged with law societies in Canada.
Background and contribution:
Undoubtedly the finest constitutional and civil rights lawyer of his generation in
Canada, Christie is known for his exceptional defenses of Ernst Zьndel, Jim Keegstra,
Malcolm Ross, Imre Finta and many other persecuted dissidents in Canada – and even the octogenarian, aristocratic Lady
Birdwood in England. Under constant threat by busybodies in various law societies, usually the target of Jewish Holocaust
Lobbyist complaints, Christie has frequently been intimidated during the Zьndel trials by judges who threatened him with
contempt of court when he called their arbitrary decisions into question. He is hated by all enemies of freedom, by many
groveling politicians and the intellectual prostitutes in the Canadian media establishment. Christie has headed the Zьndel legal
defense team for over 15 years.
Attorney Kirk Lyons
Viciously character-assassinated by the media and "Jewish defense" organizations after defending the rights
of US patriots.
Background and contribution:
An American civil rights lawyer of note, skill and courage and defender of many patriots, especially the "Dead
of Waco," Lyons has represented people like Fred Leuchter in controversial cases, and has lately been
targeted by the conservative "Spotlight" for "special media treatment" because he won a large suit against a law firm which
had mismanaged a case involving one of his clients, the former Populist Party of the USA and Don Wassal. Character
assassins are still trying to falsely link Lyons to the Oklahoma City bombing via a client of his, Andy Strasmeir, son of a famous
German political operative and advisor to Helmut Kohl. Lyons has also defended patriots in the famous "Fort Smith Sedition
Trial" and has since been vilified by the ADL.
Bradley Smith
Viciously character-assassinated and kicked off his web server.
Background and contribution:
A Libertarian, former bookstore owner, bullfighter, writer and broadcaster, Smith runs the wildly successful
"Campus Project", placing ads in college and university student papers and asking for an open debate on
the Holocaust. He is the owner of the popular CODOH website, known to be one of the top mainstream
Revisionist websites on the Net, running head-to-head with Greg Raven's new Institute for Historical Review website now
under construction. The Holocaust Lobby is relentless in its attacks against Bradley Smith, who speaks fluent Spanish and
has moved to Mexico to cut costs. Zьndel defense witness in the 1985 Great Holocaust Trial.
Michael Hoffman II
Viciously character-assassinated.
Background and contribution:
Hoffman is a former Associated Press reporter and author of the first book on Ernst
Zьndel's 1985 Trial, a biography that has undergone many printings. He is an
indefatigable Revisionist researcher. He publishes a monthly newsletter titled
Revisionist History, and is the author and publisher of numerous books and booklets. A noted, talented speaker and producer
of Revisionist videos, Hoffman is also one of Revisionists' most skilled and passionate writers. He has drawn the Holocaust
Lobby's ire for his grass roots street level activism and manly courage.
Ingrid Weckert
Tried, convicted and fined.
Background and contribution:
One of the best-known German historical researchers and writers, Weckert is best known for her book
on the events leading up to Kristallnacht – a book called "Feuerzeichen" (Flashpoint). She has been
subjected to police raids, during one of which Ernst Zьndel was arrested in her apartment in Munich. A
former tourist guide for travel agencies, she reads and speaks Hebrew. She knew Menachim Begin and other Jewish leaders
personally and frequently visited Israel. In 1998, she was tried, convicted and fined DM 3,500 for writing a Revisionist article.
She now lives at the edge of poverty from a small pension.
Erhard Kemper
Legally harassed. Endlessly hounded.
Background and contribution:
Kemper is a German agrarian engineer and gifted, politically astute freelance writer who has been
arrested, tried and convicted for his revisionist writings in Germany dozens of times. He is unbroken in
spirit, in spite of the constant legal harassment and failing health as a result of his persecution. He has
been completely impoverished and his health has been ruined, but he bravely soldiers on.
Gьnther Deckert
Currently imprisoned in Bruchsal, Germany. Faces up to eight years incarceration.
Background and contribution:
A German educator, party leader, writer, public speaker and publicist, Deckert won fame for being tried
and convicted after he simultaneously translated an English-language lecture by Fred Leuchter in
Germany into German. He was at first acquitted by a German judge who found him to be an upright and
decent patriot, then recharged and convicted by a different judge after an artificially created international media uproar. Now
German prosecutors keep piling court case after court case on Deckert while he is in jail. He bravely keeps fighting on.
Hans Schmidt
Arrested, tried and jailed in Germany, even though he was a US citizen.
Background and contribution:
German-American author and publisher of a German– as well as an English-language newsletter
(GANPAC Brief and USA-Berichte), Schmidt was arrested in 1995 for having written about a "Jew– and
Freemason infested" oligarchy and media ruling today's Germany. He spent 5 months in prison for four
words. Released on bail and in ill health, Schmidt returned to the USA where he wrote a book about his experience in
Germany, titled "Jailed in Democratic Germany." He has been a thorn in the side of the German vassal authorities for many
years.
David Cole
Became a victim of the JDL. Was physically beaten. Had his life threatened on the
Internet by the Jewish Defense League.
Background and contribution:
This young Jewish Revisionist filmmaker came to the defense of Ernst Zьndel
when Zьndel needed defending. Subsequently, Zьndel and Cole made a film in
Auschwitz, with David Cole pointing out all the things wrong with that theme park of hate against Germans. Later yet, Cole
came to Canada to lecture to large audiences on his Revisionist findings in Auschwitz, together with David Irving. He also
appeared with Zьndel in Munich, Germany, spreading Revisionism right under the watchful eyes of the German political police.
In a vicious letter posted on the Internet, the Jewish Defense League threatened Cole's life. Emotionally fragile and torn
between his conscience and family loyalties as well as filial devotion, he could not withstand the pressure and recanted with
an abject apology to his tribesmen and tormentors. Every serious Revisionist understands that this act of recantation was
coerced and may have bought David his very survival.
Jьrgen Graf
Charged, tried and convicted in Switzerland. Fired for the second time from his teaching post.
Background and contribution:
A Swiss school teacher and language genius, Graf speaks almost one dozen languages fluently and
understands many more, some of them the most exotic ones such as Russian, Japanese, Thai as well as
Malay and Filipino dialects. Author of several books, among them "Der Holocaust auf dem Prьfstand"
(The Holocaust on Trial), he went recently to Russia where he researched Russian archives for months. The Swiss
government charged, tried and convicted Graf in 1998 to 15 months in jail under the new anti-Revisionist law adopted by the
Swiss in 1994. His German-born, 80-year-old publisher was likewise convicted to 1 year in prison.
Siegfried Verbeke
Currently on trial in Holland under immense police pressure in Belgium. Endured numerous police raids and business
boycotts.
Background and contribution:
The most dynamic Revisionist in Belgium and maybe all of Europe, Verbeke published numerous books, booklets, magazines
and tracts for European Revisionists. Verbeke is now himself on trial, together with Dr. Faurisson – accused of cutting into the
financial profits of the Anne Frank Foundation because of their books and texts critical of the Anne Frank Diary. Both are
currently appealing a Dutch verdict. Verbeke seems undeterred by numerous police raids. Europe-wide, he carries on with a
vigorous mass circulation, grassroots-based Revisionist Truth-in-History campaign in several European languages.
Carlos Porter
Charged, tried in absentia, and convicted in Germany.
Background and contribution:
An American ex-patriate, skilled linguist and translator living in Belgium and author of numerous books – "Not Guilty at
Nuremberg", "Made in Russia: The Holocaust" subtitled "The German Defenses Case" – Porter was charged by the Germans
in 1997. He refused to attend the trial, was tried in absentia and convicted. He responded with a defiant, blistering Emile
Zola-like excoriating written counterattack to the judge in his case, and presently is waiting to be arrested and taken to
Germany to serve his sentence there.
Malcolm Ross
Fired from his teaching post for politically incorrect writings.
Background and contribution:
A Canadian school teacher and author, Ross was for years a thorn in the eyes of the Holocaust Lobby
because of his writings. It took years to fire him under some flimsy excuse because he never taught his version of history in
class. Charged and re-charged, he repeatedly won in appeal courts. After years of litigation, the Supreme Court in a
unanimous ruling found Malcolm Ross guilty in the end, and he was sentenced to a fine. Today, he is the unemployed father of
two children.
Ingrid Rimland
Vilified by the ADL as an "Extremist." Had her new trilogy "Lebensraum!" seized by the hundreds and
banned in Canada as "hate material."
Background and contribution:
A relative newcomer to Revisionism, Ingrid Rimland is best known for her novels dealing with World War
II that bring to life and explain the underlying reasons of the Third Reich's struggle against Communism.
Canada Customs confiscated and banned the titles, even though there was not enough time to have these massive,
well-researched books read, much less professionally content-evaluated. Rimland has had global mainstream media coverage
as the defender of the controversy-dogged Zundelsite – which seems to be the reason her name as been smeared as an
"Extremist" in a 1997 ADL smear publication.
Pedro Varela
Grotesquely charged with "genocide" – for selling books.
Background and contribution:
Spanish bookseller and well-known, long-time leader of the Spanish youth group "Cedade", Varela is
currently before the Spanish courts for "genocide" for selling historical, Revisionist and National Socialist
books. Jewish Lobbyists have asked for a 24 year prison term for Varela.
Ahmed Rami
Tried, convicted and imprisoned in Sweden.
Background and contribution:
Rami is a former Moroccan military officer living in exile in Sweden, where he used to run "Radio Islam", a
radio program that was closed down due to Holocaust Lobby pressure. He was tried and convicted in
Sweden for his Revisionist views and served a nine month prison term. Now he runs a much-visited,
multilingual website famous the world over, which has come under repeated attack by French and Swedish Jewish sources.
He won several court skirmishes, and for the moment seems to hold his own.
Nick Griffin
Charged, tried, convicted and fined in England.
Background and contribution:
Famous for his recent court case over pictures and words published in the magazine "The Rune",
Griffin, a well-known British political activist, was charged, tried and convicted as a sacrificial lamb on
the altar of Tony Blair's election promises – to be "tougher on Revisionists and racists." Two US black
separatist leaders spoke out as witnesses for Griffin, but he was convicted nonetheless to a steep fine of L3,000. (The expert
witness for the defense was none other than Dr. Robert Faurisson who helped out once again when help was needed.) Griffin
is reported to be unbowed.
Jean Marie Le Pen
Charged, convicted and under political sanctions in France.
Background and contribution:
The flamboyant French leader of the "Front National", the largest and most promising nationalist political
party in Europe, "belittled" the Holocaust and called it "a mere detail, a footnote in the history of WWII"
apparently using the phrase on three different occasions! He was recently convicted in a French court
under the Communist-inspired Gayssot Law. He was given a steep fine and forbidden to run in elections for the next two
years. Le Pen is undeterred, even though politically victimized for years by the French political establishment and a
disgustingly hypocritical, largely Jewish-dominated French media.
Roger Garaudy
Charged, tried and convicted in France.
Background and contribution:
A former French Communist leader, philosopher and recent convert to Revisionism and Islam, Garaudy was charged, tried and
convicted for writing a semi-Revisionist book titled "The Founding Myths of Israeli Politics," in which he had quoted
extensively from material by Dr. Faurisson (without attribution) and by Barbara Kulaszka's book "Did Six Million Really Die?"
(with attribution). He was condemned to a $50,000 fine. His trial was a farce and his performance in court disappointing.
However, as a result, he seems to have kicked loose an avalanche of Revisionist thought and activities in the Moslem world,
much to the chagrin of Israel – a country that more and more considers Revisionism its Number One problem.
Abbe Pierre
Victim of fierce world-wide media vilification.
Background and contribution:
Considered a male "Mother Theresa" for his altruistic dedication to the poor of France, this famous pro-Marxist French cleric
endorsed Roger Garaudy's Revisionist book – and was almost crucified by a vitriolic media reaction. The Holocaust Enforcers
made a huge mistake picking on this man. He fired back salvo after salvo – much to everyone's surprise. He fought bravely for
a man well into his eighties, but in the end fled into a monastery in Italy – from where he apologized under pressure from his
church.
Doug Collins
Harassed and vilified by the BC Human Rights Commisson. Financially penalized.
Background and contribution:
Doug Collins was a British soldier in World War II. He was captured and escaped several times. He
worked in an intelligence capacity with the British Control Commission in occupied Germany after the war. He emigrated to
Canada in the 1950s and worked for several Canadian newspapers. He drew the ire of the Holocaust Enforcers after he
testified for Ernst Zьndel in the 1985 Great Holocaust Trial. He declared that as a journalist, he saw nothing wrong with the
booklet "Did Six Million Really Die?" and that he found no "hate" in that 30,000 word essay. An award-winning journalist and
TV commentator and the author of several books, Collins was hauled before a quasi-court by Holocaust Enforcers when he
wrote a column about "Swindler's List" and commented on the preponderance of Jews in Hollywood. He and his paper had to
defend themselves before the British Columbia Human Rights Commission, which, in the end, ruled in his favor, after his
paper spent more than $200,000 and Collins spent $50,000 of his own money. Barely had he won the case when he was
re-charged – for the same column, along with three others!
Dr. Robert Countess
Vilified by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal and the intervenor lawyers in the most recent Political Show
Trial case of Ernst Zьndel.
Background and contribution:
The American Revisionist, former army chaplain, lecturer, writer and globe-trotting good-will ambassador,
Dr. Robert Countess, was targeted for a special smear– and vilification campaign by Jewish intervenors at
the Zьndel CHRT Inquisition in Toronto in June 1998. He was sneeringly denied expert witness status, even though he was
completely familiar with all the major works discussed and had been in touch with most authors, even in person, dealing with
the Holocaust topic – pro and con. Dr. Countess left the "People's Republic of Canada", as he called it, for the safety and
constitutionally governed and protected USA, from where he vowed to carry on the struggle for freedom of speech with still
greater vigor.

"Zydzi sobie zalatwili..."
Toronto – Kongres Polonii Kanadyjskiej oraz Kongres
Ukrainski protestuja, gdyz pominieto je podczas obecnej
wizyty premiera Kanady w Polsce i na Ukrainie. Szefowi
kanadyjskiego rzadu bedzie towarzyszyc jedynie trzyosobowa
delegacja Kongresu Kanadyjskich Zydow. W zwiazku z
pominieciem reprezentacji KPK, organizacja ta wystosowala
oficjalny protest do biura Chretiena domagajac sie
rownoprawnego traktowania.
Tygodnik ZWIAZKOWIEC w Toronto, dn. 21 stycznia 1999:
"Niezrozumiala polityka premiera Kanady...
Najpierw Oswiecim, pozniej Warszawa"
W sobote 23 stycznia premier Kanady Jean Chretien
przybedzie z oficjalna wizyta do Polski. Program pobytu
przewiduje, najpierw odwiedzenie bylych obozow
koncentracyjnych Oswiecim-Brzezinka, nastepnie w
poniedzialek, 25 stycznia przybycie do Warszawy, gdzie
odbedzie sie oficjalne powitanie premiera Chretiena.
Program bobytu premiera Kanady przewiduje miedzy innymi
rozmowy z premierem Jerzym Buzkiem oraz prezydentem RP
Aleksandrem Kwasniewskim.
Jak podaje "The Globe and Mail" oraz "The Canadian Jewish
News", w skladzie rzadowej delegacji udajacej z oficjalna
wizyta do Polski, znalezli sie takze przedstawiciele Kongresu
Zydow Kanadyjskich. Na specjalne zaproszenie premiera
Jean Chretiena do waskiej ekipy towarzyszacych mu gosci
dolaczyli sie prezes CJC Moshe Ronen oraz jeden z
dyrektorow tegoz Kongresu, Jack Silverstone. Obydwaj
przybeda do Warszawy z ojcami, ktorzy sa bylymi wiezniami
obozu zaglady w Oswiecimiu-Brzezince. Odwiedzenie
najwiekszego cmentarza swiata, jest jednym z istotniejszych
punktow programu wizyty premiera Chretiena.
Poniewaz kanadyjska delegacja wylatuje do Polski w sobote,
czyli w dniu Sabatu, zydowscy goscie – cytujemy za "The
Canadian Jewish News" – powitaja Jean Chretiena juz w
Warszawie. Kongres Polonii Kanadyjskiej zwrocil sie do szefa
tzw. PMO (Prime Minister's Office), Petera Sparksa z prosba
o uwzglednienie w skladzie delegacji takze kilku
przedstawicieli KPK. Niestety – jak nas poinformowala
sekretarz generalna Zarzadu Glownego KPK Alicja Gettlich
premier odmowil uwzgelednienia prosby Zarzadu Glownego
KPK. Peter Sparks powiedzal, ze decyzja dotyczaca wizyty
premiera Kanady w bylych obozach smierci z
przedstawicielami tylko grupy zydowskiej zostala podjeta "ze
wzgledow tylko premierowi znanych – jest to wizyta prywatna
i premier moze na nia zaprosic kogo chce". Przedstawiciel
premiera dodal, ze podczas swojej oficjalnej wizyty w Polsce,
premier jako glowa panstwa, reprezentuje wszystkich
Kanadyjczykow, i ze nie mial on zamiaru obrazac zadnej
grupy etnicznej. O tej kompromitujacej decyzji poinformujemy
Panstwa w kolejnym wydaniu "Zwiazkowca".
Ponizszy komunikat ZG Kongresu Polonii Kanadyjskiej
dotyczy wizyty kanadyjskiego premiera J. Chretien'a w
Oswiecimiu 24 stycznia br. Premier zaprosil, aby go tam
towarzyszyc, delegacje z Zydowskiego Kongresu w Kanadzie
na koszt panstwa kanadyjskiego. Podobnego zaproszenia nie
otrzymal KPK pomimo interwencji i protestow.
Jest to kolejnym – i wybitnym – dowodem, ze judaizacja
Oswiecimia jest faktem dokonanym na Zachodzie. Mozna
przypuszczac, ze jesli zostanie usuniety krzyz papieski z terenu
zwirowiska, za kilka lat zupelnie zaniknie – i tak juz slabiutka
swiadomosc, ze w Oswiecimiu rowniez zgineli Polacy.

Administrative law – Natural justice – Fair hearing – Security Intelligence Review Committee considering whether permanent

This appeal called into question the constitutionality of the statutory scheme providing for the deportation of a permanent resident on
conviction of a serious criminal offence. The main appeal concerned the removal of a ground of appeal from a deportation order and the
procedure by which that removal is effected. The cross-appeal attacked the general statutory scheme.
Respondent was identified in an immigration report made by an immigration officer in January 1986 pursuant to s. 27 of the
Immigration Act, 1976, as a permanent resident convicted of an offence for which a term of imprisonment of five years or more may be
imposed and therefore a person described in s. 27(1)(d)(ii). An adjudicator, after an inquiry attended by appellant and his counsel, found
respondent to be a person described in that section and ordered him deported. The hearing of respondent's appeal to the Immigration
Appeal Board against the deportation order, brought pursuant to s. 72(1), was adjourned after the Solicitor General and the Minister of
Employment and Immigration made a joint report to the Security Intelligence Review Committee pursuant to s. 82.1(2) indicating
respondent to be a person reasonably likely to engage in organized crime.
The Review Committee conducted the required investigation and held a hearing. Prior to the hearing respondent was provided with
