David Cole appeared on the nationally-broadcast Morton Downey television show, on the episode aired October 13 (or 14), 1993. Downey was at his typically raving and vicious worst, loudly denouncing Cole as “crap,” and saying that the young Jewish Holocaust revisionist should be given “a damn good spanking.”
Mark Edward Weber (born October 9, 1951 in Portland, Oregon) studied history at the University of Illinois (Chicago), the University of Munich (Germany), and Portland State University, graduating with a bachelor's degree in history (with high honors). He then did graduate work in history at Indiana University (Bloomington), where he served as a history instructor and received a Master's degree in European history. Since 1995, Weber has been director of the California-based Institute for Historical Review (IHR), which until the early 2000s was a leading revisionist research and publishing outlet. For nine years, he was also editor of the IHR's former Journal of Historical Review, which folded in 2002. Since the early 2000s, Weber has consistently refused any cooperation with other revisionist outlets and organizations. His IHR does not even mention the existence of other organizations, such as CODOH, Castle Hill Publishers or Armreg Ltd, let alone any of their activities or publications.

What brought on this change of heart? From all appearances it was a result of threats made against him by the Jewish Defense League (JDL)….
In Greenpoint, N.Y., on June 7, 1996, Zbigniew Romaniuk was the main speaker in a forum addressing issues raised by the PBS production of Shtetl. Very interesting facts were brought to light about the production. Within the discussion there was also presented an historical overview of Jewish anti-Polonism, but that topic is beyond the scope…
With a syndicated column that appears in several hundred daily papers, regular appearances on ABC television’s “This Week With David Brinkley,” several successful books, and well-paid appearances on the lecture circuit, George F. Will has a deserved reputation as one of America’s most influential commentators on social-political affairs. So when his secretary phoned to ask…
The other shoe dropped in the David Cole affair. As we surmised, the veiled death threats of the Jewish Defense League, designed to frighten and intimidate, finally had their effect: David Cole has now formally renounced his revisionist views. In a two page letter that reads like a Nuremberg affidavit shoved in front of a…
“Where are the gas chambers?,” asks an American soldier at the “Liberation of Buchenwald.” This cartoon by a prominent female artist who uses the pen name “Chard,” is from the French paper Rivarol, July 2, 1993. Not long after it appeared, French authorities summoned the artist to question her about this drawing. Even though no…
Doug Collins Museums are much in vogue these days. I reported recently on the Simon Wiesenthal “Museum of Tolerance” in Los Angeles. But an apparently even bigger bang for the propaganda buck is to be seen in the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. The major media again fell over themselves to deliver unquestioning coverage of…
