By Bradley R. Smith ∙ May 1, 1995

Last updated on

I’m in roughly the same situation I was this time last month, but I have something of a grasp on it. I’ve simplified Smith’s Report so that I can finish it in three working sessions rather than, as in the past, 10 sessions and oftentimes more.

I’ve cleared my desk of several projects I was contemplating trying to do and am increasingly focusing on the book manuscript. I still have about 90 days before everything starts to implode with my creditors. In May I’m going to do what I have to do to stay ahead of the pack.

At the same time, I have a new concept for the Campus Project, one that I think I can use to lever the various mainstream First Amendment organizations to stop evading us—which to date they have been very successful in doing. I think I have an idea for them that they are not going to be able to refuse. It’s very straight forward, less expensive than buying advertising space, and simple to implement. I don’t see why, if there is not some fresh, unexpected catastrophe in the meantime, I won’t be able to take a run at it early in the fall.

Best,

Bradley

    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.

    Friend: This issue of Smith’s Report, which you will note is on schedule, updates the progress of the Campus Project for the 1994 / 95 academic year, then turns to respond to an open letter addressed to me by Willis Carto, formerly with the Institute for Historical Review, which is being circulated around the globe,…

    You never know when you will suffer a small epiphany. I was telling Bill Jefferson, one of my more critical volunteer advisors, about how the Georgia State Signal has been a rock over the past few years, steadfastly publishing CODOH advertisements and bearing up under criticism from the Georgia press and the Lobby again and…

  • A Note From The Editor

    With the recent (second) fire-bombing of the IHR offices, one could say that this – our first 128 page Journal of Historical Review – has been launched with a real bang! Our gain is substantial and lasting. That of the “Jewish Defenders” was but a moment of typical destructive glee. How invidious the minds must…

  • The Challenge to Revisionism

    With the launch of a new historical journal, one devoted specifically to inconvenient history, history that challenges and at times may make us uncomfortable, we must look back at that first generation of self-named revisionist historians and their intellectual victories and challenges. Although the case has been made that revisionist history is as old as…

    Friend: The Campus Project kicked off good in October. Smith’s Report has a facelift. We have a new bi-monthly publication, The Revisionist—which you should have received a couple weeks ago. TR has been distributed via the student newspaper at Hofstra University in Hempsted, New York (see story below). And the stats for CODOHWeb demonstrate that…

    We hear a lot about censorship these days. Our opinion- and taste-makers like to inform us that various attempts to constrict “freedom of expression,” understood to include the dissemination of pornography involving children and the burning of the American flag, will have “a chilling effect” on our First Amendment rights if they come to pass….
