Steamshovel Press published an article by me titled “Holocaust Revisionism: Myth or Free Inquiry.” It deals with director Oliver Stone, his film JFK, and spins off from a statement Stone made when he was accused of not following the historical record on the Kennedy assassination. Stone claims that he invented his own “myth” to counter the orthodox myth created by the State. I discuss the different values inherent in conscious myth making on the one hand and the discipline of free inquiry on the other, and argue against the former in favor of the latter.

Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989 Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014, but keeps contributing.

Two years ago we said that the Germans' “Holocaust” nightmare was almost over, and predicted it had another two years to run. If that milestone has so far proved illusory it is because our worldwide Traditional Enemy has pulled every dirty trick he can – short of doing a Tonya Harding to every single revisionist…

No trouble. I moved my office from one part of the house to another and mislaid the finished drawings I have to hand. And due to communications difficulties, I was unable to contact the artist in time to get new stuff for this issue. The rodent extraordinaire, however, my little ratoncito SPIEGELMAUS, will be back…
The article that follows was written on September 11, 2011 as a continuation to the paper “The Victories of Revisionism” that Professor Faurisson presented in Tehran on December 11, 2006. For that presentation Professor Faurisson is being prosecuted by the French government. His case was recently adjourned until June 2016.— Ed. On December 11, 2006…
1. Human Rights and the Education Crisis During the 1990s it became common in Australia to refer to the phenomenon “Political Correctness” as an opinion-making movement by those who were intolerant of another person’s point of view, the self-labeled politically correct being the so-called left-wing, which thus pitted itself against the right-wing in any political…
