  • A Revisionist Swashbuckler

    I first met Bradley Smith thirty-one years ago. It was early 1985, I had just moved to Southern California from Japan, and Bradley was waiting for me in front of the Los Angeles bus station. He was twenty years older than I, we had different backgrounds and aspirations, and we were friends from the beginning….

  • Remembering Bradley R. Smith

    On Thursday evening, 18 February 2016, I glanced at my email on my phone. The subject of a newly received message struck me like a lightning bolt. “Bradley RIP” was all it said. It wasn’t that it was entirely unexpected. Bradley had been ill for many years, fighting off heart ailments, cancer, and even a bullet…

  • Alternative Information Forbidden in France

    In August 2014 Professor Robert Faurisson was interviewed by Tépa (real name Patrick d'Hondt, a native of Réunion) for Meta TV, a web-site that calls itself "France's first free and independent media of alternative information."

  • Free Speech on the Web: CODOH

    CODOH was born of the initiative of its founder, Bradley R. Smith to promote intellectual freedom with regard to the Holocaust question on what was then a much smaller scene of information sharing, just at the moment of explosion of  what would become a revolution of information exchange: the digital era and  its  medium:  Internet….

  • Denial: To the Victor Go the Spoils

    The movie proving the Holocaust, in a court of law, hit the big screen on September 30, misrepresenting the 2000 libel suit brought by David Irving against Deborah Lipstadt, author of a book, Denying History, in which she accused Irving of many things he had not done, including, most-notably, Holocaust Denial. Irving, of course, lost,…

  • Faurisson Convicted of Racial Defamation

    On 27 September 2016, Robert Faurisson, emeritus professor of literature at the University of Lyon, was prosecuted before the XVIIth correctional chamber of the High Court of Paris for three alleged crimes: two counts of “disputing crimes against humanity” and one count of “racial defamation” (diffamation raciale). The two charges of disputing crimes against humanity…

  • Behind the Scenes

    Jimmy Durante famously complained, Everybody wants ta get inta da act! And we have Kenneth Stern writing about his "behind the scenes" experiences with the Irving v. Penguin Trial, in the guise of a movie review. http://www.jewishjournal.com/hollywood/article/my_behind_the_scenes_denial_story In a nutshell, Stern feels that Denial is God's gift to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for 2016. Stern's modest prose…

  • David Irving is not the Embodiment of Holocaust Revisionism

    The ultimate purpose of the film Denial, about David Irving's failed libel-suit against Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt in 2000, is not to pound David Irving even farther into the dust – although it may do that – but to discredit Holocaust Revisionism: hence the film's title is not Irving, but Denial. To attack Holocaust Revisionism through the…

  • Denial, “A Battle to Defend the Veracity of Historical Facts”

    Denial, a Holocaust Movie based on Deborah Lipstadt’s book History on Trial, is to be released this September. History on Trial is Lipstadt’s account of her vendetta with author David Irving culminating in a defamation action. The action was tried in a London court in 2000 before Judge Charles Gray. Opportunity The release is an…
