(No) Freedom of Expression

There is the ideal of free speech, and then there is reality: censorship, persecution, and prosecution of dissidents.

    I've been thinking (and no – that's not a straight line). The problem with the thinking is that I have been doing it alone. I don't have to do all the thinking here, but after close to three weeks of doing it alone, it has occurred to me that I should do that part of…

  • Butz Book Banned in South Africa, Germany and Canada – The United States Next?

    In the B'nai B'rith Messenger (June 1984) there is a story headed: “Canada bans Revisionist Writings.” “The Canadian government has banned the importation of a book, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, by Arthur Butz, it was reported by the League of Human Rights of B'nai B'rith… League officials said that the League had asked…

  • Outlaw History #37

    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…

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. Because Hayward not only…

  • The Fate of Joel Hayward in New Zealand Hands

    For the past three years, newspapers, national periodical publications and television programmes have intermittently provided coverage about the Joel Hayward affair: a story of a New Zealand student who wrote a controversial thesis. Contestable work and arguable conclusions are not uncommon in modern universities but Hayward's unpublished work as a student seems to remain, after…

  • If Germany Declared Peace

    Germany has been, since World War II, an occupied nation. No peace treaty has ever been signed, occupying armies still remain there—and Germany continues to function under a foreign constitution, prepared by the victors of WW2.[1] It owns a massive amount of gold, three and a half thousand tons of it, more than any country…
