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. Unless a report is on free speech and/or censorship in general, it has been categorized in the subcategory of the country discussed.

Dream that I’m shot in the head, then the heart. The hit to the head is accompanied by a tremendous blast of hot air. I see everything blowing apart. The shot to the heart is a little high and to my left. It’s an unnecessary follow up. The dream half wakens me and I lie…

How the great Irving-Lipstadt libel trial in London will turn out I don't know. Neither does anyone else. But one thing is certain. Professional Holocausters have been given a black eye. They have been forced to debate what they have always refused to debate, namely, whether their version of the “Holocaust” is true. As could…

The Anti-Defamation League is anything but lazy. Every month or so they come up with some new campaign to show that they are on the side of the oppressed, the insulted, the injured. Of course, when the ADL was first formed in 1913, after the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and lynching of Leo Frank, there was…

The ADL is consistent: it will always argue against a free press when the Holocaust controversy is being addressed. One of its routines is to use the—let's put this as carefully as we can—transparently stupid comparison of revisionist theory to the ADL's “hypothetical” paper arguing that Black slavery did not exist in America. This invented,…

Noël Mamre, a Green MP, finds himself steadily rebuked, on radio as on television, for his acquaintance with another Green, Jean-Gabriel Cohn-Bendit, the elder brother of “Danny the Red”. He is censured for “Gaby” Cohn-Bendit's compromising relations, twenty years ago, with revisionists such as Pierre Guillaume, head of La Vieille Taupe (“The Old Mole”), Serge…

The Simon Wiesenthal Center (SWC) which prides itself as being in the “forefront of the battle against hate” has unwittingly launched a campaign based on the very principles that they claim to oppose. In August the SWC began protesting the sale of what they deemed, “Nazi Hate Propaganda” on the Internet. Specifically, the campaign was…

I've invented a kind of chess game in which those who are naturally disposed toward intolerance and closed minds have chosen to be my perennial opponents. Rather than rules to play by, there is a process during which each player makes up his or her own rules as the game progresses. No player has the…

[The Daily Kansan, 8 November 1998] I support The University Daily Kansan's decision to run an advertisement from the Committee for the Open Debate of the Holocaust (CODOH). However, those of us who know the truth about the Holocaust must respond. That is our responsibility as members of a society that places such a high…

10.30.98 The two-day-old U.S. copyright law, originally presented as an anti-piracy measure, is imposing unanticipated new restrictions on journalists, broadcasters and librarians. President Clinton signed the new Copyright Act into law Wednesday. It was the culmination of months of hard lobbying by the major Hollywood studios to increase charges for use of copyrighted material online….
