Internet Roundup
A Quick Tour around CODOHWeb for Those Who Haven’t Been There
Each issue of Smith's Report brings information about the latest happenings on CODOHWeb, the World Wide Web site of Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (http://www.codoh.com). But for those without access to the Internet, CODOHWeb remains intangible. What is on the “site”? What does one see when accessing the world's largest revisionist website?
For those of you who have been asking these very questions, I’d like to give a guided tour of what greets vistors to CODOHWeb. When a visitor accesses CODOHWeb's “homepage,” he or she is confronted by a brief statement of purpose which reads in part, “We're focused on American culture, on the American ideal that liberty has the power to wash a people clean and that there is no liberty without intellectual freedom.” Scrolling down the screen you will find a “search tool” called “Hotbot” which enables you to search CODOHWeb—or other leading revisionist sites for any topic of interest. Indeed you can also expand your search to the entirety of the World Wide Web (WWW). (And it works both ways— recall how in last month’s issue of SR a visitor recounted how he found his way to CODOHWeb through his interest in Che Guevara, who was mentioned in one of the chapters of Bradley's Break His Bones!!)
Another scroll down will reveal our Guestbook, where people can offer their computer-signature and comment on the site. The homepage features a “What’s Hot” section which provides links to the most recent, important events Happening in the world of revisionism. There are currently three items in “What’s Hot;” information about CODOH’s “50,000 Offer”; Samuel Crowell’s brilliant essay on the “Technique and Operation of the German Anti-Gas Shelters” [see SR43], and information regarding David Irving's new pathbreaking volume, Nuremberg: The Last Battle.
A visitor can choose one of three paths into the site from the homepage: the standard path (with graphics); a text-only path, which is provided for those with older and slower equipment, and a “frames” path, which contains state-of-the-art formatting of our pages. The textual content remains the same along each of these paths, while the view changes to best meet the needs of each visitors’ equipment.
Each path will take the visitor to our “Main Index” page, our primary table of contents for the site. There the visitor will see nine flags representing the nine languages, in addition to English, in which we have posted revisionist materials. Choosing any of these flags will instantly take you to material written in the language of your choice.
You will then be able to select one of our three major subsections, “Revisionism,” “Intellectual Freedom” or “Bradley R. Smith.” The Main Index page also contains “buttons” to directories, by subject and by author, that list all the works on CODOHWeb. Also on the Main Index page is a button which, when clicked on, takes you to our “Hot Links” page, a listing of approximately 200 other websites on a variety of subjects which CODOH has found especially interesting. Or you can choose our “Incoming” button, which enables you to read or write email messages to us via our mailing address:
Each “page” or “document” is designed with its own look and colors. The “Revisionism” page features a bold message from the father of revisionism, Harry Elmer Barnes, proclaiming, “The well-being of the human race, if not its very survival, is very literally dependent on the triumph of Revisionism.” The visitor can choose from a variety of categories offered on this page: Gas Chambers and Gas Vans; NewsDesk; War Crimes Trials; David Irving; CODOH International; Germar Rudolf; Revisionist Viewpoints; Inconvenient History; New Revisionist Voices; Robert Faurisson; Book and Movie Reviews. The “Revisionism” page also feature links to nine other revisionist websites.
The “Intellectual Freedom” page is topped by a quotation from George Orwell: “Freedom of the Press, if it means anything at all, means the freedom to criticize and oppose.” This page offers visitors access to the following pages: ThoughtCrimes Archive; Net Censorship; Germany vs. Intellectual Freedom; Zionism, Stalinism, and the Holocaust Story. The “Freedom” page includes links to current Congressional “Holocaust” Legislation, as well as links to other websites which are concerned about free speech issues.
The third major page is our Bradley R. Smith page. This page features a photo of Bradley alongside a quote from one of his books: “I need to live among a people who sense the significance of the ideal of free expression. ” This page features many of Bradley’s writings, and news about his projects: Confessions of a Holocaust Revisionist; Smith's Report On-Line; Break His Bones; A Personal History of Moral Decay; the Campus Project; and Occasional Writings.
All in all, CODOHWeb offers materials by more than 60 authors on a wide range of topics of interest to revisionists and to anyone who seeks truth on the historical and free-speech debate of our time. A staggering collection of over one million words and over one hundred graphic images are offered in 10 languages. Classics of revisionist scholarship, such as the works of Arthur Butz, Fritz Berg, and Robert Faurisson are available for reading and for copying to all who “enter.”
Cutting edge works by men like Samuel Crowell, David Thomas, and this writer have been made available for the first time on CODOHWeb. Full text and graphics of banned works such as Grundlagen zur Zeitgeschichte; Das Rudolf Gutachten; Not Guilty in Nuremberg and others are available in the very countries which have banned them. CODOHWeb also offers English translations of works hitherto readable only in German, French, and Italian—many of them available in English here for the first time anywhere.
Today someone access a CODOH Web page every one minute and six seconds. By now, it’s clear that “cyberspace” has become a major front in the war for truth in history and intellectual freedom—and on that this “cyberfront,” CODOHWeb has emerged as a mighty fortress for freedom, and an armory of historical truth.
