The ideal and limits of free speech and expression, and also the free access to information, as well as the various legal and extra-legal attempts at limiting that civil right. Censorship includes not only government actions against any media, published or not, but also the active suppression of such media by mainstream outlets.

I agree with Ward Churchill when he observes that “we cannot allow the U.S. government, acting in our name, to engage in massive violations of international law and fundamental human rights and not expect to reap the consequences.” I agree with this statement, and with almost everything else Churchill says about 9/11. He is right…

In a recent TV “Memo” on Ward Churchill, Bill O'Reilly quoted Churchill as writing that Jewish scholars stress the Jewish Holocaust story in order to “construct a conceptual screen behind which to hide the realities of Israel's ongoing genocide against the Palestinian population.” When I read that, I wonder: “Yes, Billy? And your point?” It…

In the early morning hours of 4 July 1984, arsonists burned down the offices and warehouse of the Institute For Historical Review in Torrance, California.

In issue No. 2/2003 of The Revisionist (pp. 197-202), Dr. Fredrick Töben reported on the case of Joel S.A. Hayward, who in 1993 had completed a master's thesis at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, on revisionist writings about the alleged extermination of European Jews by National Socialist Germany.

In early 1996, the revisionist Web site www.zundelsite.org caused a storm in the then still relatively tiny internet-pot, since its content was hated by several Jewish lobby groups and in particular by the German authorities, who all together tried with several legal and less than legal techniques to shut down this controversial site.

What kind of a country is it where a considerable part of the people think, singing their national anthem could be forbidden? What country is it where folksingers might be put in jail for singing peaceful songs? What kind of a country is it where a mother of five gets a prison term for having…
