A Letter from Inside the Zionist Gulag

Dear Free Speech Supporter:

Germar Rudolf is a German citizen, married to an American, and father of a young daughter. He was deported to Germany and sits there a political prisoner, charged with the “crime” of modern heresy – criticizing Germany’s new state religion of “holocaust.” Rudolf is a talented scientist and gifted publisher and was trained at the Max Planck Institute. Mr. Rudolf has since been moved from Stuttgart to Mannheim prison where another political prisoner and fellow publisher Ernst Zundel is also detained — Paul Fromm.

Thanks a lot for your letter of August 30, which I received yesterday, after I had not received any mail for exactly 3 weeks. Such gaps have happened before and the only guess I have is that the person in charge of censoring my mails is on vacation rather frequently, so things pile up unprocessed for weeks in a row.

I assume that your questions relating to my daily routine are meant to extract some answers that you - or Paul - intend to post online or use otherwise, like spreading it to other distributors, which is perfectly fine with me.

Let me, therefore, give you a summary of my weekly life, after I have described you my cell here, so people can imagine how I live.

Many Palestinians fell further into poverty. The Gaza Strip was the hardest hit with about 80 percent of households earning less than US $1 a day, twice the percentage of those earning that little in the West Bank.

Published by the UN Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), the report indicates that the international boycott on the Palestinian Authority (PA), coupled with Israel’s withholding of tax revenues destined for oPt had the harshest affects on the PA’s ability to offer basic services.

This situation is unlikely to change soon, not least as Louis Michel, the European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid, said this week in Tel Aviv that Europe, formerly a major donor to the PA, will continue to bypass the PA and would not give the government direct aid.

“There will not be a change in the system,” he said. (…..Full Story Here)
