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.

Most of us understand that it is unwise to draw a connection between the Israeli/Palestinian tragedy, 9/11, Afghanistan, and the U.S. administration's war against Iraq. The common understanding is that to suggest such a connection publicly, and in many contexts privately, is to risk being condemned as an anti-Semite. This fear is perfectly well founded….

FROM LADY GAGA TO SAIGON AND BACK AGAIN By Bradley Smith for YouTube These are the notes for my You-Tube video uploaded onto the Internet on 08 February.

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT? IS IT THEM? OR IS IT US? Or is it…? Bradley R. Smith Almost all of us have strong opinions about who the responsible parties are for having created and forwarded the scams about German homicidal gaschambers, Germans skinning murdered Jews to make lampshades and riding breeches from their hides,…

The Savage, the Academic, and the Brainwashed By Bradley Smith One afternoon I was on the Michael Savage website, I don't remember exactly why, when I found a YouTube video that appeared to work with the Holocaust a bit. I clicked onto the video and was startled to hear a sudden, high-volume shouting exhibition by…

POSTMEMORYThe Use of Transgenerational Memory to Ensure Transgenerational Reparations David Merlin Postmemory is a theoretical construct created by Columbia University professor Marianne Hirsch that effectively creates yet a new tool to be used in the ongoing, transgenerational Holocaust fundraising industry. The theory is that children and grandchildren experience the pain and suffering of their grandparents…

Enforcing Taboo at a Troubled Campus By Jett Rucker Responding politely to two of our applications to place a small ad in her university’s student newspaper, Natasha Monnereau, Advertising Manager at the New University student newspaper at University of California, Irvine, was perhaps more forthcoming than she had to be (for which we thank her)….

Two Universities in Service to Hatred Jett Rucker Stanford University, Palo Alto, California, and the University of Southern California, Los Angeles—are but a small segment of American academia in thrall to the agenda of hatred promoted and perpetuated by the proponents of Israel and the hegemony of the international cabal claiming to represent Jewry. These…

Deborah Lipstadt Blasts 'Holocaust-abuse' by U.S., Israeli Politicians Jett Rucker This Holocaust revisionist has a confession to make, and it’s worse than anything to which Bradley Smith confessed in his best-selling (?) Confessions of a Holocaust Revisionist: I have become a grudging admirer of Deborah Lipstadt. Yes, the Deborah Lipstadt who in 2001 with the…
