We have only begun a sustained promotional campaign with the press over the last couple weeks. Nevertheless that, together with word of mouth, has brought about a steady increase in the number of log-ons (visits) to the site. Here are the numbers to date:
November
988 visits
December
1,744 visits
January
2,518 visits
That’s the kind of progress we have made while we were working just to set up the site, ignoring most of the promotional tools available to us.
Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.
