  • John Stuart Mill Calls For Open Debate on The Holocaust

    Thanks to the miracle of digital time travel, Legalienate’s editors were able to interview the 19th-century liberal John Stuart Mill on the urgent matter of the suppression of free speech in the modern Holocaust debate. Readers of Mill’s “On Liberty,” which made him famous as a defender of human rights, will recognize what he has…

  • News and Notes

    *** Der Spiegel is one of Europe’s most influential magazines. It’s commonly held that its influence is based on the moral authority established by the quality of its investigative journalism. Der Spiegel employs the equivalent of 80 full-time fact checkers, which the Columbia Journalism Review calls “most likely the world’s largest fact checking operation.” To…

  • Republican Party Animal, by David Cole

    The three-page introduction serves to set the scene of a self-declared-reluctant author giving an interview to a late-arriving reporter of the JTA—Jewish Telegraph Agency. As he sits in a bar awaiting the reporter’s arrival he reflects upon his own alcoholism and how he had experienced social condemnation because of his Revisionist views, which made him…

  • The Case of Gregory Chelli (alias Ulcan, alias ViolVocal)

    People may wonder why an otherwise emphatically “politically correct” Italy has no law against “Holocaust denial” or “negationism”.
