One Project Bites the Dust until after the First of the Year
In July I announced that Smith’s On-Line Review would be the first revisionist quarterly to appear on the Internet. It was to appear the first week in September. I couldn’t do it by deadline but I thought I was close so I announced that SOR was scheduled to appear by the end of September. Some of us put a lot of work into it but I couldn't get it ready by the end of September either. I had bitten off more than I could chew. It wasn't the first time, it may not be the last, but an on-line revisionist quarterly is a must, in our view, and we not giving up on it. I’m not going to promise another deadline yet. Twice burned with my own match is quite enough. SOR is coming, we’ll do it. and this time when I'm absolutely sure about the schedule readers of Smith's Report will be the first to know.
The Radio Project
isn’t doing that well either. But this one is of a different nature than SOR. We submitted a strong proposal to 120 talk show s by e-mail and it simply failed. I then sent the same proposal by post to more than 200 talk show producers and while I received a couple calls, nothing came of them. I probably put together the wrong package. Too large an issue: “Is the Holocaust story an historical or religious controversy?” I’ll be at it again, however, this month. Never say die. When a proposal fails, as this one did, I am always heartened to recall the first proposal I made to producers of more than 500 talk show's. I didn’t get a single response. I thought I was a dead duck. But I sent a second, it clicked, and I went on to do hundreds of interviews. I see no reason why we will not repeat that success over the next months.
“The Holocaust Controversy: The Case for Open Debate”
I have once again reprinted my article as a leaflet (third time this year). It’s still the most widely read revisionist essay ever published. This new printing contains my mug shot on the front panel and the new Internet address for CODOHWeb, along with an offer to send the reader a copy of Smith's Report. We ship this 8-panel leaflet at cost: 10 copies for $2. 50 copies for $5. 100 or more copies for $10 (all postpaid). This is a formidable, productive essay, and has drawn many people to Smith's Report and to revisionism.
Names remain the name of the game
The best source for new names remains you who subscribe to SR. In all likelihood you know a few or perhaps many people who would be interested in receiving a sample copy of this Report. Please send their names and mailing addresses, even if it is only two or three, and I’ll send each person the most recent issue of Smith’s Report.
