Zundel Update: Court Denies Rally

KARLSRUHE — Germany’s highest court yesterday outlawed a planned demonstration in support of former Toronto resident Ernst Zundel and other far-right activists accused of denying the Holocaust.

The Federal Constitutional Court upheld a local court’s decision to ban a neo-Nazi group from marching tomorrow in Mannheim, where Zundel is on trial on incitement charges.

The lower court had cited concern that the demonstration could turn violent and that participants could commit hate crimes.

A group had applied for permission to demonstrate under the motto “Create Freedom of Opinion,” calling for the release of far-right figures including David Irving, as well as Zundel.

Irving, a British historian, was convicted in February in Austria and sentenced to three years in prison for denying the Holocaust, a crime in Austria as well as in Germany.

Zundel, 66, who emigrated to Canada in 1958 and lived in Toronto and Montreal until 2001, has been on trial since November on charges of anti-Semitic activities.

      Cyclic Activity Features Sociologic Pressure
      (Apollonian, 7 Apr 06)

      Germans should fight this putrid, stinking holohoax false religion–but so should everyone else too. Thus Jews evermore are reduced to absurd as they enforce Judaism, false religion, and lies. Jews, the paragons of lies, stupidity, and everything unhealthy–they stink evermore as more people are forced to notice. Thus Spengler’s cyclic pattern of activity manifests itself, and the pressure grows. We need Constantinian Christian cultural revolution and some serious Christian antisemitism. Honest elections and death to the Fed. Apollonian
