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. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.

Greetings from old Mexico. We’re in Baja California, in Rosarito, and all is well, as these things go. The office is up and running. I’m completely re-wired; the telephone, the fax, computer, printer, answering machine, photocopier and my Telnor Internet connection, which appears to be very solid. I have a local computer consulting firm to…

THE NEW ADDRESS: This [upcoming—Ed.] September issue of SR (remember, there is no August issue) will run our new postal address, and my new telephone and fax numbers. Don’t worry about losing contact. The Post Office will forward my mail for 12 months. The USPO did a perfectly good job with forwarding when I moved…

Revisionism on the Internet—This handsome, durable, spiral-bound “journal” presents a cross-section of the materials that are making CODOHWeb a world-wide force for the truth that underlies history’s greatest taboo. As described in the previous issue of SR, Revisionism on the Internet contains exiled German chemist Germar Rudolf s analysis of German Establishment scholar W. A….

It looks as if the eternally embattled Ernst Zuendel has scored a partial victory by eliminating the Canadian Human Rights Commission as a co-prosecutor in the Canadian “human rights” hearing to deprive him of free speech via his American-based Website. Meanwhile, an even bigger bombshell, if you’ll pardon the expression, is shaping up around the…

[We received David Irving's Der Spiegel brochure (see below) just before we were to go to print with this issue of SR. He sent along a disk version, so it will go on CODOHWeb very shortly. We think the brochure will create a great scandal behind the scenes. “Meanwhile,” Irving writes, “I am spending the…

I recently had occasion to read an article sent me from the Hoboken Record (2 February 97) titled “House of Stuart.” It gave the background to the publishing history of Lyle Stuart, who is perhaps the most independent and controversial mainstream book publisher in the United States. He specializes in publishing books that challenge orthodox…

You may have noticed that this issue of Smith's Report is late. If I were a sober, practical professional I wouldn’t let on why. But mine is an unfailingly amateur personality so I’m going to spill the beans. I’m over my head in expenses and debt and I’m moving to Rosarito—as in Mexico—a beach town…

In a recent interview, super-survivor, Nobel laureate and selfproclaimed human cannonball (see SR 42, “Elie Wiesel: Sometimes the Truth Is an Accident”) Wiesel unbosomed himself to The Jerusalem Post on the “deniers” (that’s us, folks). As paraphrased by the Post, Elie said this regarding the chief avenue of attack along which revisionism is storming against…

It was a pre-Fourth of July gift for Americans, and for Holocaust revisionism-hungry folks around the world. On June 26, the Supreme Court of the United States struck down President Bill Clinton’s and the Republican-controlled Congress’s Communications Decency Act (CDA). In its landmark decision, the nation’s highest court ruled that the law violated Americans’ First…
