Myth-Making vs Free Inquiry
Steamshovel Press published an article by me titled “Holocaust Revisionism: Myth or Free Inquiry.” It deals with director Oliver Stone, his film JFK, and spins off from a statement Stone made when he was accused of not following the historical record on the Kennedy assassination. Stone claims that he invented his own “myth” to counter the orthodox myth created by the State. I discuss the different values inherent in conscious myth making on the one hand and the discipline of free inquiry on the other, and argue against the former in favor of the latter. (A copy of that issue can be had from the publisher – 5927 Kingsbury, St. Louis, MO 63112 – for $3 postpaid.)
